Wytheville flooring tips

 
Are you considering renovating your floors but aren’t sure where to begin? No worries – Wythe Carpets is here to help! Although every customer should select a product that best suits their home’s look and feel, style isn’t always everything. In order to select the right flooring for you, it’s important to factor in your area’s climate while working your way through the decision-making process.

At Wythe Carpets, there’s a flooring solution for every problem, including products that help prevent harsh climates from damaging your floors. Do you know which flooring products are sustainable against your area’s climate, and which products you should say no to?
 

Precipitation

 
Areas that have high levels of precipitation, whether that be rain or snow, can experience warped flooring if the proper precautions are not taken. Our clients in Wytheville, Virginia, for instance, experience approximately 39 inches of rainfall and nearly 20 inches of snow each year, which makes resilient flooring the best option for their needs. Resilient flooring is extremely durable, cost-effective, and keeps up with modern fashion trends.

Be sure to steer away from installing carpet or hardwood floors in areas of your home that are at risk of getting wet. If either of these flooring products retain water, you may face warped surfaces and possible under-carpet mold.

Extreme temperatures

 
When it comes to hot and cold temperatures, selecting the proper flooring products can help keep you more comfortable in your home and even decrease your energy bill. In the Wytheville area, mid-summer temperatures can reach up to 83ºF with relatively high humidity levels. Installing ceramic tile in rooms that are warm can help cool your home, making hot summers much more bearable. Tile is also a great option for rooms with high levels of moisture like bathrooms or kitchens.

Carpet is great during cold winters when it becomes challenging to maintain the warmth of your home. In areas like Wytheville, VA, carpet installation is extremely beneficial as it acts as insulation, retaining heat and warding off cool air. Flooring products like laminate should be avoided in areas of the home with extreme temperatures due to the likeliness of expanding and contracting boards.
