Best Flooring options for the Kids

Kids especially till their teen age years have abundance of energy and vitality which can put any floor to its test. There are various flooring options which are apt to bear the wear and tear at the hands of kids. In this post, we will elaborate about those options.

1.                 Ceramic and porcelain tile: - For a family with young children, no tile flooring option can bear more stress than a ceramic and porcelain one. Highly versatile to be used in the kitchens and the bathrooms, they are exceptionally easy to clean and can easily resemble the wood or stone also.

2.                 Sheet Vinyl Flooring: - Kids can go crazy with water and splash it here and there. The extra wet surface is always more prone to slipping especially for the kids and the pets. This is why Sheet Vinyl Flooring is the ideal option for bathroom if you have kids at home. The  lino, marmoleum, and cushioned vinyl checks all the boxes for your kid’s bedroom.

3.                 Laminate Flooring: - A highly inexpensive and easy way to install; Laminate flooring provides top notch resistance to the scratches and is perfectly apt for the playroom. It doesn’t require extra maintenance in removing away the allergens too. The melamine plastic wear layer also aids massively protecting the surface from fading due to direct sunlight.

4.                 Wood Floor installed using the floating method: - If you are concerned about your child falling hard onto the wood floor, you don’t have to opt for the carpet to prevent your hitting the hard wood floor but instead install the wood floor using the floating method. In the floating method, the glue is primarily used between the tongue and the groove of the boards.

Apart from reducing the hardness of the wood, you will greatly benefit from its sound barrier properties too.

5.                 Carpet: - If all the above flooring options fails, carpet remains the best alternative. It is perfectly apt for accidental trip and falls of the children. However, the cons greatly outweigh the pros for the carpet. More often than not, carpet requires periodic cleaning and removing the stain is labor intensive.

6.                 Bamboo: - Bamboo is not only environmentally friendly but is extremely eclectic and has tremendous durability. Although they are stain resistant which would help remove the accidental spills from the children but the surface is extremely hard at the same time.
It’s important to choose the right manufacturer for the Bamboo who uses non-toxic adhesives and sealers.
