Materials that you can Use for Flooring

Flooring is one of the major steps in building a home. It lays the base for the interior decor of your house and makes for the walking surface. It is a challenging task and needs to be paid keen attention to. The flooring is done on a layer called subfloor that supports the floor.

The first and foremost thing about flooring is the type of material you want to use for the flooring of your house or workplace.

The subfloor also has a significant part to play in it as it forms the foundation for the floor.  The different options that you can pick for subfloors such as floating floors raised floors or sprung floors. You can also have two subfloors for better strength. Mostly the subfloors are concrete but plywood is another widely preferred and viable option.

Then comes the flooring, which has a wide range of options for materials that you can use. Few of the materials that you can use for include cork, laminate, linoleum, stone, tile, vinyl, and wood.

Buying a Kitchen Countertop

Kitchen is a part of the house that is visited by everyone and still no one. It is dedicated for the sole purpose of cooking and mostly the person who prepares food spends the most time there. In many houses, it is just neglected as the least important part. However, if one observed or pondered about it closely, one would not fail to notice that though only for a short period; everyone enters the kitchen, almost every day. To drink water or to steal an extra bite of the ice cream from the refrigerator, when the coast is clear. During parties and occasions such as family gatherings and birthdays, people often find time to exchange their lives in the kitchen.

Hence, every kitchen deserves a good interior too and we decided to get ourselves one of the best kitchen countertops. We have wanted to replace the ceramic tile ones with one of those shiny and luxurious countertops. We considered quartz and marble but they seemed too expensive for our budget. Therefore, we decided to buy granite countertops as they are rich and affordable. I have always wanted to give my kitchen a luxury appeal and these granite ones tend to do that the best. There are so many patterns and designs available. I spent about three days checking the granite countertop designs online and I was surprised to see the variants available. Then finally, I stopped at a grey shade to match the white walls and cabinets of our kitchen. It will also suit the slate tile flooring that we have in our kitchen. In addition, we were also thinking about getting backsplash done with the same granite material. We will have to see how much it will cost though. Now, we just have found a natural stone manufacturer to get the granite fixed. I am excited!

Few tips for those buying kitchen countertops:

Go for contrasting shades

Match it with backsplash tile

Check the latest trends online

Compare prices

Get a good assistant to fix and seal

Factors that Affect the Cost of Quartz Countertops

Elegant-looking and long-lasting, Quartz countertops are one of the best options other than marble and white granite countertops. They are expensive but do offer the desired appeal to the interior. The price of quartz countertops depends on many factors and is different for everyone depending on the purpose and requirements.

Some of the major aspects that affect the cost of quartz countertops include:

-       grade of the material

-       complexity of the job

-       Countertop manufacturer

Quartz unlike other natural stones is engineered, which makes it versatile in terms of styles and qualities. The different grades of quartz countertops are closeout/clearance, standard, premium and designer. The standard grades of quartz are generally plain and can be used for your kitchen décor and design. The shades are majorly earth tones.

Premium and designer grades bear rich color. They are custom made which makes them more expensive when compared to the marble countertops cost, yet they give a great look.

A single slab of quartz without seams and corners is easy to install while a wrap-around countertop with cutouts for sink and a designer edge needs a professional. This makes it expensive.

The cost of professional installation accounts for about 20% to 50% of the total cost. You can consider an average of 30% or you can save the entire cost by installing it yourself. However, seeing the expense and the nitty gritty of quartz installation, it is better to get professional help unless you have excellent skills to do it yourself.

Another factor is from where you get the quartz. Every manufacturer offers it a different price and since it is mostly customized, the cost depends on the way the countertop is manufactured.  You can find standard to mid-grade quartz at a home improvement store. Local countertop companies generally provide mid-grade to premium material and you can select the one that suits your budget.
