When well-maintained and cared for, this floor type can also last for a long time. Opting for lacquered and engineered planks will offer greater resistance to scratches, water and wear and tear, making them more durable as well as looking great. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHowever, the hardness and slippiness of real wood floors mean they’re not as appropriate for households with young pets and children. To minimise the likelihood of warpage or damage, you might also opt to lay this flooring type in lower traffic areas such as bedrooms. It’s also not recommended for bathrooms due to the moisture present. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLaminate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAvailable with a range of effects and colours, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk\/laminate\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003elaminate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e is also one of the most affordable flooring options. This makes it suitable for a range of household interiors and budgets. Highly durable and low maintenance, it can be laid across most areas of the home and easily cleaned with a hoover and lightly damp mop. Resistant to scratches, adults don’t need to worry about pets or children playing with toys. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBy choosing thicker planks (between 10mm and 12mm) and using underlay, it can also be made more comfortable underfoot, ideal for younger children.

Laid in a single sheet, it's also easy for DIY enthusiasts to install. By preparing the subfloor correctly and using an underlay or acoustic and cushion vinyl, it will also offer good levels of comfort. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHowever, as it is a single sheet, if any rips or other damage happens, the whole floor may need replacing. If you’re laying it in kitchens, bathrooms or utility rooms, you can also find water-resistant options to protect against splashes and spills. Plus, if this does happen, you can simply brush and mop the dirt away. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFlooring Types to Avoid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eEspecially with young or school-age children, you want to avoid any floors that are hard and slippery. This makes tiles a no-no in many family households, as they have no cushioning and can cause a hard impact if a little one falls. Fallen items or toys can also cause cracks in these floors. Although many options are water-resistant, they become a hazard when wet, which makes them unsuitable for busy households. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMany families may be tempted to choose carpet for their home, as it’s soft, grippy and comfortable. However, dirt and spills cling to these materials and become difficult to clean. Alongside regular hoovering, they’ll also need deep cleaning to remove stubborn marks. In high traffic areas, fibres can also quickly become threadbare and lose their plush, luxurious appearance, meaning they won’t offer as good a return on investment as harder floors. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExtra Touches to Child-Proof Your Flooring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eChoosing flooring of an appropriate colour will make dirt, debris and scratches less obvious and ensure it complements your interiors, even if you decide to redecorate. Neutral, slightly darker colours and effects are recommended for this reason, particularly if you decide to use the same type of flooring throughout your house. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTo give a little extra cushioning and protection for both your little one and the floor, using rugs and play mats gives them a space to enjoy their toys safely. Usually made from rubber or fabric, they’re easy to clean, grippy underfoot and will cushion any falls or dropped items. This will help your child find their feet while stopping your floor from getting scratched or damaged. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGet Your Family-Friendly Flooring\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFinding a floor that’s affordable, looks great and suitable for children can be a challenge.
