Kid Friendly Flooring Options

 

Your flooring is there for every milestone – from those first tentative steps to celebratory gatherings and everyday activities. It accommodates the chaos of sports, spills, and creative endeavors. In a household with children, where the demands on flooring are high, durability and ease of maintenance become paramount. Stine Home understands the unique needs of families and offers a range of kid-friendly flooring options to withstand the rigors of daily life.

Laminate Flooring

Durable and Affordable: Laminate flooring emerges as one of the top choices for families. Its durability, affordability, and variety of colors and styles make it an attractive option. Mimicking the natural tones of hardwood, laminate creates a warm and inviting ambiance. What sets it apart is the protective scratch-resistant layer and a resilient core that resists dents and warping. Stain-resistant properties ensure worry-free maintenance, and with a basic care routine, laminate flooring retains its beauty for years.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Stylish, Strong, and Waterproof: Luxury vinyl flooring combines style and strength, making it a worry-free option for homes with children. Its waterproof nature makes it suitable for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms. Available in luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury vinyl tile (LVT), it caters to various styles. LVP mimics hardwood tones and textures, while LVT replicates the look of tile or natural stone. The added benefit of being soft underfoot is particularly advantageous for young children. Affordable, easy to clean, and install, luxury vinyl flooring is a lasting solution.

Hardwood Flooring

Elegance with Durability: While hardwood may not be the first choice for families, certain species, such as walnut, hickory, maple, and oak, offer durability against scratches, dings, and dents. Hardwood floors exude timeless elegance and, with the right care, can withstand the demands of a busy household. Although harder underfoot than laminate or vinyl, the character and value hardwood floors add to a home make them a worthwhile investment.

Carpet

Softness with Durability: Despite initial reservations, wall-to-wall carpeting can be a viable option for families with kids. Modern carpets, crafted from durable materials like nylon, polyester, or triexta, are designed to withstand everyday messes. While not as easy to clean as hard surfaces, carpets provide a soft underfoot experience. With a vast array of colors, patterns, and textures, you can find a carpet that complements any aesthetic.
