When remodelling your home, your flooring is a choice that can make or break your entire design. Trends are always changing, and now that it’s time to remodel your house, you can finally bring that outdated flooring into 2020, with these flooring trends from Regina Flooring.
-
Wood Look Porcelain Tile
The material of this tile is in the name; made out of porcelain, these tiles are incredibly strong. The designs of these tiles are very convincing, so you could mistake them for hardwood, without any of the wear and tear or risk of scratching that naturally comes with wood. This choice is a bit more costly, but will last longer than most other tile types, so it will pay for itself in the long run. 
-
Waterproof Vinyl Plank Flooring
Waterproof vinyl floors are overtaking laminate floors in the industry. Like laminate, vinyl can have a wood look and is comparable in price, but it is more durable. This material is water resistant, so it can be installed in kitchens and bathrooms, and is more durable than laminate. This option is one of the least expensive on the list, and looks just as amazing as the other choices.
-
Stained Concrete
Stained concrete looks really good in homes that are modern, industrial, or midcentury in design. Pairing this flooring with clean, minimal decor, with plenty of greenery and warm lighting, prevents this flooring from giving the room a cold and clinical look, and creates a cozy atmosphere.
-
Terrazzo
Terrazzo is made from stone fragments, crushed glass, or other organic materials embedded in concrete and polished until smooth. It is best known as large format flooring in midcentury modern buildings, and is very environmentally responsible. This flooring choice averages about $7,000 for a 200 square foot space.
-
Black and White Patterned Tile
Black and white tiles are popping up in a variety of home styles, including transitional styles and the modern farmhouse. This choice gives a great bold look, and can be paired with almost anything for a very custom finish. This tile looks best with all white everything, whether you choose this for the kitchen, bathroom, or office room. Non patterned large pieces (furniture) with pops of colour throughout.
-
Non Slip Flooring
This trend is much more practical. With many older adults choosing to age in their homes rather than moving on, more home improvement projects are focusing on safety, including installing slip resistant flooring. Falls are the main cause of injury among older adults. Slip resistant flooring often comes in less expensive material, such as vinyl or linoleum, making this renovation a very cost effective one.
-
Engineered Wood
Engineered wood with a plywood core is a top choice for homeowners. They’re strong and come in many finishes, and use wood in a very sustainable manner. Oak, mahogany, and ash are the most on trend finishes, because they’re hard and less photosensitive than other woods, meaning they’ll last a lot longer. The cost of this choice ranges from $4 to $13 a square foot.
