When upgrading the home, consider having house floorings that you can benefit from for a long time. Some of us may have a linoleum floor. We love it—it’s cheap, versatile in design, and easy to install. Though staying in a living space that uses it, it’s not always the best option. It is easily subjected to maintenance issues and is prone to getting damaged by heavy furniture. Instead, go for these options for your floors that you can guarantee can be durable and attractive.
Strong and Colorful Floorings
The most reliable way to style your flooring, while still providing structural support, is to give it paint. For the part of your home that will be subjected to foot traffic, you get the most with Epoxy Enamel or Acqua Epoxy.
Both are epoxy-based paints which means the curing time is much longer than the acrylic-based topcoats meant for your walls. Epoxy Enamel, in particular, also have a stronger smell. In exchange, you are guaranteed high-quality weather and chemical resistance for your floors.
We are talking about a home upgrade after all. For absolute long-term durability, it is worth adjusting your living set-up to give your floors some needed coatings. If you still find the disadvantages of using these paints to be inconvenient, consider them at the very least for your garage or dirty kitchen.
A plain concrete floor gives off drab vibes most of the time, so give it some color. A well-coated floor also has a finish that is easy to clean. This option is your most economic choice next to linoleum floorings. The other options in this article would usually need more professional help, but painting is something you can DIY.
A Rustic Feel with Hardwood Floors
