No one wants to see their beautiful hardwood floors destroyed by Razor Scooters or horseplay. Health risks of certain flooring materials are also a concern for new parents. But should you sacrifice style for tacky foam tiles? Well it is possible to find a happy medium.
Think about each room individually. For rooms with constant action like a kitchen, consider linoleum floors until your kids grow out of their rambunctious phases. You can splurge on more delicate flooring in lesser used rooms like a formal dining room.
Renewable Flooring: Safe and Aesthetically pleasing!
If you're determined to install new floors that don't compromise on style, look to renewable floors. These are also the safest bet health wise. Renewable floors can be wood, linoleum or cork. Try flooring with multidimensional coloring to mask nicks and scratches. Vintage honey oak is a staple in many family's homes for its' durability and classic look. Antique Strand bamboo is an eco-friendly choice due to the overwhelming growth potential of bamboo. This flooring is strong and unlikely to wilt. Mora cork is a beautiful dark option, and won't leave pressure imprints. Make sure to use nontoxic adhesives, cleaning products, and sealers to complete your environmentally friendly new flooring installation.
Consider carpet!
Carpets are kid friendly and parent approved. You don't have to worry as a new parent about your child falling on a hardwood floor and hitting their head. The benefits of carpets even go down to your feet. Carpets are plush and warm, a welcome feeling for your feet on a cold Sunday morning.
It is possible for you to get the floors of your dreams without worrying about heavy wear and tear. Whether you are concerned about your kids, pets or your health, we can help you find your best flooring options.
