Why redo the flooring in your home?

Changing the flooring in your main or secondary residence can give your interior a whole new look at a glance. You may therefore find yourself needing to renovate, replace or change the flooring in certain rooms or even throughout your entire home. Is it for greater comfort or a desire for renewal? Flooring often suffers from the daily wear and tear of everyday life. Frequent foot traffic, stains and dirt put floors under a lot of strain over the years. That's why it's sometimes necessary to renovate the flooring in your home or a newly acquired property.

When you become the owner of a new property, it's quite possible that you won't share the aesthetic tastes of the previous occupants. Whether it is a question of style, wear and tear or damage, flooring is an integral part of interior renovation work. As part of a complete renovation, it is recommended that you do the painting first to avoid staining the new flooring.

You may also consider installing new flooring before selling your property to enhance its appearance and increase its value. Similarly, when renting out an flat or house, it is strongly recommended that you pay particular attention to the floors in the various rooms, as this is an important factor for prospective tenants.

Laying a new floor is not an easy task that can be improvised. It requires specialised knowledge and mastery of various techniques to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

What are the different types of indoor flooring?

A question of style, but also of comfort and practicality, there are now many types of flooring available to meet all needs and desires. There are various types of flooring, each with specific properties and different installation methods depending on the type of floor.

This is undoubtedly considered the most elegant type of flooring. Made from wood, a noble and robust material, parquet flooring comes in a variety of wood types, colours and finishes (varnished, oiled, matt waxed, etc.). Easy to maintain, parquet flooring can also be renovated by sanding and applying a specific oil. Very robust and resistant, parquet flooring is a covering that offers great longevity and ages well over time. In terms of aesthetics, parquet flooring is timeless and suits all styles of decoration.

Certainly the most durable and easy to maintain coating, tiling is considered a safe bet. There are tiles of very varied shape, size and colors. You can opt for tiling depending on the room size and style desired.

Our tile craftsmen put all their experience at your service to achieve a beautiful laying of tiles and thus avoid all risks of deterioration in the long term.

Long acclaimed and neglected, linoleum, more often called lino, is a soil that marks its return to individuals as well as professionals. Very economical, it is also easy to clean and ecological. Nowadays, there are great varieties in terms of patterns and colors to meet the requirements of the greatest number. It offers excellent resistance to scratches and stains. On the other hand, it fears heat and is flammable.

Very easy to install and maintain, the vinyl floor is also inexpensive. It allows great freedom in styles and imitates many materials. It is insulating and very resistant to scratches and stains.

Warm, the carpet has been back in the spotlight in recent years. Easy to maintain thanks to a vacuum cleaner, steam cleaner and/or certain specific washing foams, the carpet is also easy to install as long as the floor surface is straight and flat. It is a coating that offers the advantage of offering excellent thermal and sound insulation. Nevertheless, for allergic people, it is recommended to check beforehand that the carpet chosen is well treated against dust mites and anti-allergens.

Natural materials, sea rush and sisal, have the advantage of capturing the moisture of a room and simply maintaining with the help of a vacuum cleaner. Very easy to install, these coatings are often sold in the form of slabs that just need to be assembled.

How to choose your flooring?

Maintenance, frequency of passage and use of the room, many parameters are taken into account when considering floor covering work. But the main question is which floor is best suited to each of the rooms of the house.

In the kitchen, choose a material that is easy to maintain and resistant to stains. Porous materials that are difficult to wash will be avoided. The ideal remains of course the tiles but you can quite orient yourself towards a PVC or laminate floor that is also very easy to clean. Installing your flooring during a kitchen renovation will allow you to give a new breath to this room of the house.

Room dedicated to rest and relaxation, it is above all comfort that prevails in this room of the house. A beautiful carpet will immediately warm the atmosphere while allowing better insulation. The parquet is also very suitable because it will bring character to the room.

When renovating a bathroom and when changing floors, it is essential to choose a floor that will withstand moisture and splashes of water. Another criterion: the floor of the bathroom must be able to wash easily and dry quickly. Tiles are therefore an excellent choice for the bathroom due to their water repellent properties and ease of maintenance. It is also possible to turn to solid parquet but you will have to choose an exotic essence such as cherry or mango for example which can withstand moisture better than a traditional parquet.

Your living room is a place of conviviality hence the importance of taking care of its appearance. We meet there with family and friends and the passages are very frequent. At ground level it will therefore be necessary to move towards a coating combining aesthetics, robustness and ease of maintenance. The parquet flooring is perfect for this room of the house: it will bring character and easily associates with all styles of sofas and furniture.
