The Carpet Conundrum, Part 2

The Carpet Conundrum, Part 2

In our previous blog, we began to introduce the flaws of carpet. While the shortcoming of carpet is probably common knowledge for most people, few actually realize the lack of appeal it has when compared to hardwood and tile floors. Check out the comparison below to see why many San Fernando homes are opting away from carpeting and hardwood for tile flooring:

CARPET VS HARDWOOD VS TILE FLOORING

COST

  • Carpet: Initially inexpensive, may cost more over time Potentially short life Summary: Carpet may cost less upfront, but could cost far more later
  • Hardwood: Depends on material chosen Lasts with maintenance and care Summary: Hardwood is a “timeless look,” but requires special care
  • Tile: Depends on material chosen Stands up to damage and lasts very well Summary: Tile floors are known for longevity and ease of care

LOOK

  • Carpet: Often quickly dated Can become stained or dirty looking Summary: Carpet quickly becomes undesirable or ugly
  • Hardwood: “Timeless look” Depends on wood/stain chosen Summary: Hardwood is a safe choice, just avoid trendy colors
  • Tile: Most versatile Can be made to any tastes Summary: Tile flooring can look like just about anything, high potential

MAINTENANCE

  • Carpet: Clean spills immediately Requires regular professional cleaning Avoid excess water Summary: Carpet is tough to maintain, and can often only be professionally maintained
  • Hardwood: Pad furniture legs to avoid scratching Regular dusting and mopping Avoid excess water Summary: Wood flooring is relatively low-maintenance, especially with proper care
  • Tile: Resistant to scratches and spills Easily replace a damaged tile Water resistance varies Summary: Tile floors come in various materials, many of which are entirely water and stain resistant

TILE FLOORS OUTCLASS CARPET & HARDWOODS ALIKE

With more and more tile families opting for tile flooring, the price has become comparable or less than hardwood flooring, making tile an attractive option for any San Fernando home. With versatility in look and design, tile has always been a desirable, yet pricey, flooring option, but is now more affordable than ever. When you consider the long term benefits, it becomes even more cost-effective to fit your home with floor tiles over any other flooring system.
