Floor covering room by room

For each part, there are more or less suitable coatings. Here is a small summary, room by room, of the most relevant floorings.

Kitchen

Much more than just a place to prepare food, the kitchen has become a real living room. We like it to be beautiful and aesthetic, so the choice of floor is important.

In addition to being beautiful, the floor must be resistant to the various possible stresses in this area.

Tiling remains one of the best solutions. Easy to maintain, stain, water and moisture resistant, it is virtually harmless.

Waxed concrete is also increasingly popular, especially for its aesthetic properties, but it is less resistant to stains.

PVC, which is inexpensive, allows for a very personalized decoration, and maintenance is particularly simple.

Bathroom

For the bathroom, of course, you need a flooring that is water and moisture resistant. Once again, tiling is a sure thing. On the other hand, it is cold and therefore not always very pleasant, especially in winter.

Parquet is also very popular in bathrooms. Warmer, it stays at room temperature and is therefore much more comfortable. However, it will be necessary to choose the wood carefully and to find out about the installation that will ensure the best waterproofing.

The resin ensures a perfect waterproofing. It is humidity resistant, stays at room temperature and requires very little maintenance. It is really a very good choice for a modern and contemporary bathroom.

Bedroom

For the rooms the solutions are really numerous. There are no particular constraints except for comfort. I think that tiling is not prohibited, but it is not the best choice, it is hard and cold which is not ideal.

The parquet floor is much more suitable for a bedroom, but be careful upstairs, a parquet floor can make a lot of noise and be annoying for people below. All soft floors without exception will do.

They will also provide sound insulation more suitable for a room. Cork can be a very good option, it is the material that best protects against noise, and it is very pleasant to the touch. Linoleum, PVC or carpet are also very relevant choices.

Garage

For the garage, you need something strong. We'll park the car, tinker, pile up heavy objects sometimes, in short, we need solid. There are solid stoneware garage tiles, which are particularly robust.

This is a good solution, but there is only a few choices in terms of color and so the garage to be a little sad. The epoxy resin, very strong, will also be a good solution.

It will still be necessary to opt for a non-slip finish and the price may be relatively high.

You will still have a beautiful garage in the colour of your choice, with a floor that does not absorb oil, and easy to maintain.

Finally, there are special PVC tiles for garages that fit together for easy installation. Strong, scratchproof, easy to clean and interchangeable, it is a really relevant solution to keep a garage always impeccable.
