What type of flooring for new studio
#41
We just had luxury vinyl plank put down in some of our rooms - probably some of the most beautiful floor I've ever seen (course it is the one we picked) It looks like wood floor - has a great warranty - guaranteed easy to clean, guaranteed not to chip, crack, warp, splinter, etc., is water resistant, has anti bacterial properties as well is 'floor scored' for good indoor air quality (Can you tell I love it?) I would have our ceramic tile replaced with it if I could convince DH

I have wood laminate in my sewing room and tile in my longarm room (former back porch). I like them both, but sort of wish I had gone with the laminate in my longarm room because standing on that hard tile is tiring. I have gotten some rubber mats which help. Laminate does not like water, however. I have 2 small dogs that will pee on it if the weather is bad outside. They have a doggie door but....... If I don't catch it immediately it can warp the edges of the laminate. It's not terribly noticeable except I know it's there. That's a great size for your room. You will love it.

There are many new high quality vinyl floors that are "loose layed" just like the laminates. You might want to check those out. If you have a big budget, look at cork flooring. It is naturally insulated and has some give in it. When the day comes that I turn my family room into my sewing space, I'll be looking at these products.

Look at bamboo laminate, it is not paper thin, will hold up very well and is washable. Home Depot has a nice selection of colors. We are replacing our ceramic in the kitchen and laundry room with bamboo. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Many people have laminate but I have cork tiles. I think it feels warmer and it is a natural product. It does have a clear coating on top so all you need to do very occasionally is damp mop it Cleaning is easy w/ a vacuum. There are lots of colors/patterns available.
