How To Select Your Flooring |
|
|
|
Preparation is the key to shopping for new flooring.
It can be a confusing and sometimes frustrating task
if you are unprepared. Take time to go over some
essential points in order to make this an effective
and
enjoyable process. Your Onondaga Flooring team
wants to make shopping for your floor the most
pleasant part of decorating your home. |
|
Getting Started |
Now
that you’ve decided it’s time to replace the floors
in your home, there are a few things you want to
consider:
-
Draw a rough outline of the rooms you want to
install flooring in and how these rooms flow
together. Be sure to include closets, fixed
cabinet features, fireplaces, and doorways.
-
Have an idea of approximately how much flooring
you’ll require for each room, hallway,
staircase, etc. Take a measuring tape and get a
rough idea. Flooring is typically sold by the
square foot or by the square yard.
-
Have you considered the flooring in your halls?
Stairways? How does your home flow?
-
Have a checklist of the approximate dimensions.
-
Consider the light that enters the room. Is it
natural light (sunlight) or does it require
artificial
light throughout the day. This can make a
difference in the floor you’ll want to select.
-
What is under your existing flooring? This is
important information to know when you select
your new floor. Try to find this out before you
begin shopping for your new floor covering.

Evaluating Your
Floor Needs |
Now
it’s time to decide what type of flooring fits your
lifestyle. Your requirements are unique and solely
based on your personal situation. Some things to consider
are:
-
What is
the room(s) used for?
-
Do you
have children or pets?
-
Is
there excessive traffic or very little?
-
Is
there an abundance of sunlight entering the room?
-
Do you
need to change out the existing baseboard and moldings?
-
What is
the timeline for choosing your floor and getting it
installed?
-
Is your
climate especially moist or humid? Flooring can be
greatly affected by these variables.
-
Will
the room where your new flooring is installed require
painting? If so, try and paint before the flooring is
installed.
