The 5 Most Popular Kitchen Floorings You Can Get for Your Home

Posted By: Healthy Flooring 0 Comment

When we talk about flooring, the first thing that comes to mind is elegance or beauty. However, even if we turn the world upside down, we still can’t deny the fact that flooring has something to do with health.

With that being said, we shouldn’t only rely on how good the flooring looks in our house, but also the lifespan or how long it can last and the health benefits it can bring to you.

So today we’re going to talk about five types of flooring that are found to bring the most health benefits to people in the house.

Ceramic or Porcelain Tile

First up is the ceramic or porcelain tile. It’s no doubt a great pick considering the elegance it can bring to the house. But that’s not all.

It’s also durable and it takes a pretty long time to show stains. So, it’s not necessarily hard to maintain. Plus, you won’t have to deal with a lot of dust gathering on it when you haven’t cleaned it for a while.

The only bad thing is that it can be slippery, so it’s not recommended to install in usually wet places, especially in rooms near the bathroom.

Hardwood and Bamboo

Hardwood is one of the most common floorings that is used by many house owners. It’s often used in dining rooms and kitchens.

Both bamboo and hardwood flooring doesn’t need much maintenance and it also prevents small particles to pass through it easily.

However, just like with tiles, it’s not recommended to install this type of flooring in wet places.

Laminate

Laminate is often picked as a result of its low initial and maintenance cost. Thus, most of the time it is used as an alternative for hardwood and bamboo.

Regardless, it’s still a great pick considering that it is also dustproof, which means there are lower chances of getting allergies from it.

The main drawback of laminate flooring is that it is prone to moisture, which is one of the factors that create high concentrations of dust mites.

Carpet

We already know how carpet is used. While it’s not exactly the option that comes to mind when talking about flooring, it still has a lot of benefits for our health.

For one, it’s not vulnerable to moisture and there’s no need for maintenance. What’s bad about it is that stains can lead to permanent damage.

Vinyl and Linoleum

Vinyl and linoleum are flooring materials known for being resilient or durable. Thus, there would almost be no damages even if it’s located in a high traffic area. That also means it can withstand erosion done by dust mites.

These five types of flooring vary according to their advantages and drawbacks. Regardless, they have specific places where they thrive and our duty as the house owner is to make the most out of these materials.

Lead Poisoning, a Result of Improper Home Renovation

Posted By: Healthy Flooring 0 Comment

We might not be knowledgeable about it, but our house contains huge amounts of lead. Most of the homes that were built by our ancestors contained paint made of lead.

And when we talk about lead, we think about lead poisoning. Thus, renovating your home without considering this fact will lead to serious consequences.

One of these consequences includes lead poisoning. Of course, it doesn’t only affect the ones who are doing the home renovation. Sometimes, people aren’t even aware that they’re poisoning themselves by living in a renovated home that was exposed to lead-based products.

However, the good news is that there are ways to avoid suffering from lead poisoning, which is by knowing where it comes from.Here’s a look at the different ways to avoid lead poisoning.

Lead Paint Testing

Paint products have a high chance of containing lead. So, test it first before applying it to your house in your remodelling plan.

Carpet Removal

Carpets are often exposed to lead right after the home remodelling process. So, make sure to get rid of your carpets before settling into your newly-renovated house.

Doorsand Windows Replacements

Just like carpets, doors and windows may have also been exposed to lead-based paint. So, make sure to replace them immediately.

Lead Contaminated Soil

Lead paint may have gotten into the soil that your house is standing in. Make sure to clear all the soil that can be potentially exposed to lead paint you used for your home renovations.

There are many ways for people living in a house to be exposed to lead. That’s why it is important to know where it comes from and how you can get rid of it.

5 Home Remodelling Tips Every House Owner Needs to Know

Posted By: Healthy Flooring 0 Comment

Sometimes, we get more stressed than ever when we’re doing home remodelling. You’ll have to consider what to prepare before, what to do during, and how to clean up after the process.

Despite that, you’d still have doubts about whether your house would end up being beautiful or just a mess.

So today, we’re going to talk about five home remodelling tips that will make every house owner’s life easier and less of a nightmare.

We recently spoke to a design coordinator at Ottawa General Contractors and these are the tips they gave us.

Consider Your Budget

Before anything else, you should consider what you can afford to spend. In other words, consider your budget. That means estimating the cost for a contractor, demolition, and more.

Take Your Time with Planning

A common mistake by many house owners is that they don’t take planning into high regard when in fact, it’s one of the most important parts of home remodelling. With that being said, never rush your planning.

Check All Regulations

It’s only natural for your area to have regulations regarding home remodelling. So before getting into the process, make sure you know all of them first so there won’t be any conflict.

Don’t Renovate to a Completely Different House

Sometimes, we can’t help but renovate our house into a completely different one. Not only is it costly, but it would also make the point of renovation completely meaningless.

Communicate Effectively

Lastly, you should always be open with your architect or builder of what your plans are. That way, they can solve any problems beforehand and adjust their plans to fit your needs or even wants for your house.

Regardless of how you want your house to look after renovation, you must follow these tips if you want to make the most out of your home renovation.
