namesake mcmansion

Howdy folks! Today's McMansion is very special because a) we're returning to Maryland after a long time and b) because the street this McMansion is on is the same as my name. (It was not named after me.) Hence, it is my personal McMansion, which I guess is somewhat like when people used to by the name rights to stars even though it was pretty much a scam. (Shout out btw to my patron Andros who submitted this house to be roasted live on the McMansion Hell Patreon Livestream)

As far as namesake McMansions go, this one is pretty good in the sense that it is high up there on the ol' McMansion scale. Built in 2011, this psuedo-Georgian bad boy boasts 6 bedrooms and 9.5 baths, all totaling around 12,000 square feet. It'll run you 2.5 million which, safe to say, is exponentially larger than its namesake's net worth.

Now, 2011 was an anonymous year for home design, lingering in the dead period between the 2008 black hole and 2013 when the market started to actually, finally, steadily recover. As a result a lot of houses from this time basically look like 2000s McMansions but slightly less outrageous in order to quell recession-era shame.

I'm going to be so serious here and say that the crown molding in this room is a crime against architecture, a crime against what humankind is able to accomplish with mass produced millwork, and also a general affront to common sense. I hate it so much that the more I look at it the more angry I become and that's really not healthy for me so, moving on.

Actually, aside from the fake 2010s distressed polyester rug the rest of this room is literally, basically Windows 98 themed.

I feel like the era of massive, hefty sets of coordinated furniture are over. However, we're the one's actually missing out by not wanting this stuff because we will never see furniture made with real wood instead of various shades of MDF or particleboard ever again.

This is a top 10 on the scale of "least logical kitchen I've ever seen." It's as though the designers engineered this kitchen so that whoever's cooking has to take the most steps humanly possible.

Do you ever see a window configuration so obviously made up by window companies in the 1980s that you almost have to hand it to them? You're literally letting all that warmth from the fire just disappear. But whatever I guess it's fine since we basically just LARP fire now.

Feminism win because women's spaces are prioritized in a shared area or feminism loss because this is basically the bathroom vanity version of women be shopping? (It's the latter.)

I couldn't get to all of this house because there were literally over a hundred photos in the listing but there are so many spaces in here that are basically just half-empty voids, and if not that then actually, literally unfinished. It's giving recession. Anyway, now for the best part:

Not only is this the NBA Backrooms but it's also just a nonsensical basketball court. Tile floors? No lines? Just free balling in the void?

Oh, well I bet the rear exterior is totally normal.

Not to be all sincere about it but much like yours truly who has waited until the literal last second to post this McMansion, this house really is the epitome of hubris all around. Except the house's hubris is specific to this moment in time, a time when gas was like $2/gallon. It's climate hubris. It's a testimony to just how much energy the top 1% of income earners make compared to the rest of us. I have a single window unit. This house has four air conditioning condensers. That's before we get to the monoculture, pesticide-dependent lawn or the three car garage or the asphalt driveway or the roof that'll cost almost as much as the house to replace. We really did think it would all be endless. Oops.

The Sims 2 - GameSpy

Lifetimes of fun in one game

By Dave "Fargo" Kosak | 5/17/2003

It's always a trip to compare the reactions of the die-hard gamers on the GameSpy Forums to the reaction of the mainstream market when it comes to the original Sims. Many hardcore gamers never really got into this landmark game, but people around the world bought it (and all its expansions) in droves. The Sims was as much a toy as it was a game; it was like putting people in a fishbowl. It spawned a frenzy of online community activity, with people sharing houses, outfits, furniture and stories with one another over the 'net.

Count me among those addicts. There's something irresistible about guiding little people through little lives, making big decisions on their behalf. So I was stoked to see that The Sims 2 adds a great deal to the heart and soul of the game while retaining what made the original so compelling. Players will see two big differences this time around: The game is fully rendered in fluid 3D, and characters now live out their lifespan. Yep, your young handsome Sim will eventually grow grey and stooped. The latter change really enriches the "Sim experience."

Taking the Sims to a Whole New Dimension

Grandma lays in with the smack talk.Unlike the fixed perspective featured in the previous game -- where you could only rotate the camera 90 degrees -- Sims 2 is rendered in a full 3D engine where the player can zoom in, zoom out, and rotate the camera freely at will. The engine in the demo was immensely polished, with smooth animations and a great framerate. Marble surfaces were slightly reflective and the walls, floors, and furniture were rendered in extreme detail.

During the demo, we witnessed another new effect. It started to rain. The lighting of the scene changed as the dreary clouds moved in, and the Sims themselves all reacted with dismay as the raindrops came down. (The unfortunate Sim who opted to remain in the hot tub was in for a shock when the lightning struck...)

The new perspective allows you to really see the characters.Amateur architects will appreciate the new building options and the freedom they have to build houses in 3D. You can now build modular stairways with curves, for instance, instead of standard straight stairs. You can have multilevel foundations, including a basement. The pad they were showing off for the demo was a classy affair with a wrap-around deck outside the second floor that had a pine wood staircase along the outside of the house. You can also now build windows on any wall, including diagonally-oriented ones, fixing a pet peeve I had with the original. In the final version of the game, players will also have a lot more flexibility with decor. So when you buy a new couch or chair, you'll finally be able to upholster it to your tastes!

Another real advantage to the new engine is that you can zoom in way closer to the action. You can really see the Sims and their facial expressions now, so the whole experience is a lot more personal. This also helps to highlight the major changes in the new version, which allow you to customize Sims like never before and watch them change over time.

"You can play a whole lifetime now," Producer Margaret Ng explained as she showed off her family. "There's consequences now. What you do before will affect how you are now." One of her Sims, for instance, was a successful well-kept businessman who had eaten right and studied hard while growing up. Girls were all over him like paste on a science fair project. His buddy, however, was a slovenly guy porking out on pizza who had a gut to show for it. "But you can work on yourself..." Ng said. She brought her Sim over to the weight machine and, just to show off this feature, we were able to see him buff up before our very eyes.

So your Sims change based on their behavior. They also change with the passing of time. You can start a character at any age, and as you play, you'll watch that character grow and then grow old. Yes, you'll eventually die of old age ... but by then, your children (and even grandchildren!) will have hopefully grown into productive Sims of their own. "The key concept is generations," said Charles London, the Creative Director for the project. Unlike the previous game where babies grew into kids and then stayed that way forever, this time around you'll raise families from scratch and every new family member will become a playable character for you.

It was all fun and games before Teddy double-dipped the nacho cheese.Living out a whole life means that decisions you make early on are all the more important -- if you really want to rise to the top of a career ladder, you'd better do it before you get too old! Similarly, the way you raise children has a big impact on the game you're playing. A Sim raised in a good household will develop different habits and personality traits than one who grew up eating paint chips off the floor of the bathroom.

Talkin' 'bout My Generation

So, now you can get married, have children, and watch them grow into adults and have children of their own. This highlights another new feature of the game: Genetics! Sims will no longer be flat characters created by mixing a head with a set of clothes.

Instead, when you want to create a new character you have a great deal of freedom picking out facial features. You can "mix and match faces like paint," according to London, creating a truly unique Sim. Faces are completely sculpt-able. You can thicken a character's lips, give him bonier cheeks, or chisel his chin. You can even create something outrageous: The demo had a convincing Mr. T, Mr. Spock, and even a green alien with bulbous black eyes. Because of the new 3D engine you can zoom in and see these unique faces during gameplay, and no two people will have identical Sims!

The facial features and personality traits of a character form his or her "genes." When two Sims breed, the game mixes up their genes to create an all new Sim. The result is a kid that eerily resembles both parents, not unlike real life. The fun part comes when you breed bizarre couples: When an attractive blonde female Sim and the green-skinned alien Sim got it on in the genetics demo, the kids that were generated varied from wide-eyed pointy-eared humans to downright goofy looking green kids with black eyes.

If the character-generator and breeder alone sounds like a fun toy, you're in luck. Maxis is planning to release these tools to tinker with online before the game even ships.

The new Sims were much more aware of their environment than ever before. As they walked around the room they looked at each other or at different objects. "They really have an awareness of each other ... they're social people. Er, Sims," said Ng. Zoomed in close, you could see a range of facial expressions as they interacted with one another. As before, the presentation is like real-life, but exaggerated and sometimes comical. When two Sims decided to bring on the nasty in the hot tub, the action was obscured by bubbles but you could see bare arms and legs flailing out occasionally. And the two of 'em looked pretty satisfied when it was all over.

One of the things that I've always felt appealed to devotees of the original Sims was the fact that you created a "story" as you played. You created a sort of family saga, almost without even trying. With the new additions to the sequel, that game element is strengthened. Every Sim's story has a beginning, a middle, and an end ... but the family lives on, generation after generation, leaving behind a shared history. If it all comes together, Sims 2 should be ten times as addictive as the first.

And that scares me.

Will Wright spoke to us about the game on E3 LiveWire. For a little more about Sims 2 and the vision behind it, you can listen to an archived audio interview with Sims creator Will Wright recorded at GameSpy on day two of the show, part of our LiveWire Audio Series. Sims Online may not have hit all the right buttons with gamers, but Sims 2 definitely shows that there's still a lot of magic in this franchise. Stay tuned to GameSpy for details!

Linoleum Flooring Market: Addressing Pain Points and Barriers

The linoleum flooring market, which has been a staple in the flooring industry for many years, is facing a number of challenges and pain points that are impacting its growth. These issues range from evolving consumer preferences to increasing competition from alternative flooring options. Understanding these pain points is crucial for stakeholders in the industry to overcome barriers and adapt to shifting market dynamics.

1. Competition from Alternative Flooring Options: One of the most significant pain points for the linoleum flooring market is the intense competition from alternative flooring materials such as vinyl, hardwood, and laminate. Vinyl flooring, in particular, has gained significant popularity due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and wide variety of designs. Unlike linoleum, vinyl flooring is more resilient to water and moisture, which has made it a popular choice for areas like bathrooms and kitchens. As a result, linoleum has struggled to maintain market share in some regions.

2. Perception of Outdated Design: Linoleum flooring, despite its eco-friendly appeal and durability, is often viewed as outdated by consumers. This perception has significantly hindered its demand, particularly in residential settings where aesthetic appeal is a key decision-making factor. The rise of modern flooring materials, such as engineered wood and luxury vinyl tiles, which are available in a wider range of styles and finishes, has placed linoleum at a disadvantage. As a result, the market is seeing a decline in linoleum’s popularity, especially in the high-end residential market.

3. Limited Design Variations: Another pain point in the linoleum flooring market is the limited design variety compared to other flooring options. While linoleum is available in various colors and patterns, it lacks the diversity and customization options offered by alternative materials. Consumers seeking more vibrant, unique, or textured designs may find linoleum less appealing. The growing trend toward personalized and decorative home interiors further amplifies this issue, as homeowners increasingly desire flooring solutions that match specific themes and preferences.

4. Supply Chain Issues and Production Costs: The linoleum flooring industry faces significant challenges with production costs and supply chain management. Raw materials required for the production of linoleum, such as linseed oil, are subject to price volatility. Additionally, the production of linoleum flooring can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, which increases manufacturing costs. These factors, combined with global supply chain disruptions, have led to higher prices for linoleum flooring products. In many cases, this price increase has made linoleum less attractive compared to other flooring options, particularly for budget-conscious consumers.

5. Environmental Impact and Sustainability Concerns: Although linoleum is often marketed as an environmentally friendly option due to its use of natural materials and biodegradability, it still faces sustainability-related challenges. Some production processes involve the use of chemicals that can impact the environment, leading to skepticism among eco-conscious consumers. As the demand for more sustainable products grows, the linoleum flooring market must work to address these concerns and adopt greener manufacturing processes to maintain its position as an eco-friendly choice.

6. Lack of Awareness: A significant pain point for the linoleum flooring market is the lack of awareness among consumers about the benefits of linoleum flooring. Despite its eco-friendly nature, durability, and relatively low maintenance, linoleum has not been marketed effectively in comparison to newer, more popular flooring materials. Many consumers remain unaware of linoleum’s potential, preferring more conventional options that they perceive as more reliable or modern. Raising awareness about linoleum’s advantages, including its sustainability and longevity, will be crucial to overcoming this barrier.

7. Resistance to Change from Contractors and Builders: Many contractors and builders remain hesitant to use linoleum flooring due to its perceived limitations in terms of durability, style, and installation complexity. As such, linoleum has struggled to secure widespread adoption in commercial and residential construction projects. The reluctance of contractors to embrace new technologies and materials in flooring has slowed linoleum’s adoption rate in new buildings and renovations.

Conclusion: While the linoleum flooring market has experienced challenges due to competition from newer materials, limited design options, and evolving consumer preferences, there are opportunities for growth. By addressing key pain points such as modernizing designs, improving sustainability, and enhancing marketing efforts, the linoleum flooring industry can revitalize its image and regain consumer interest. Additionally, fostering better relationships with contractors and offering cost-effective solutions could help to expand linoleum’s market share in both residential and commercial sectors.

Market Dynamics

Growing Demand for Formaldehyde-based Resins in Construction

The construction industry, with its large requirement for formaldehyde-based resins, is the major driver of formaldehyde. These resins, and especially urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF), and melamine-formaldehyde (MF), have significant applications in manufacturing wood products such as plywood, particle board, and medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Increased global urbanization and infrastructure development is resulting in considerable growth of the construction industry, thus promoting engineered wood products using formaldehyde-based glue. Due to the high degree of cross-linking, these resins possess high mechanical strength and resistance to moisture and are thus well suited for use in flooring, cabinetry, and furniture.

Increasing preference for green products when constructing buildings also goes up the demand since formaldehyde-based resins improve the performance features of the woods. The following is also increasing the market trend through dedicated investments in green building projects that advocate for energy efficiency and sustainable principles of construction. All these factors hence translate to firm production prospects for formaldehyde in the construction industry.

Shift towards formaldehyde-free alternatives

The shift towards formaldehyde-free alternatives presents a substantial restraint in the formaldehyde market. Increasing concern over health accruable to formaldehyde use in its use as a probable human carcinogen means that consumers and manufacturers have shifted to consider better alternatives. International regulatory authorities continue to establish higher standards and controls for formaldehyde releases across several consumer goods, such as furniture, flooring, and other construction materials. For this reason, several firms are pursuing a strategy of researching and procuring new, formaldehyde-free adhesives and resins suitable for efficient use while demonstrating comparable performance. This shift not only displaces conventional formaldehyde-based products but also introduces competition from new exciting materials that smart consumers will embrace. The growth of green chemistry and demand for eco-friendly solutions may limit the market growth of formaldehyde and force industry participants to change to remain effective in a new setting.

Innovations in eco-friendly formaldehyde alternatives

Innovations in eco-friendly formaldehyde alternatives present a promising opportunity for the formaldehyde market. There is a high demand for an environmentally conscious approach associated with an increase in consumer‘s concern about health. Chemists and formulators have been working on bio-based adhesives and resins with similar performance to those derived from formaldehyde but without the emission of toxic gases. These options can incorporate biodegradable polymers such as soy and starch, which can constitute viable bonding aids that are safe for humans and the environment. Other factors that lead to this trend are the global demand for better-quality, environmentally friendly products, such as the effective utilization of green building products in the construction industry and the extinction of gas-emitting vehicles in the automobile industry. Furthermore, governmental measures to support new sustainable products improve the market opportunities of the innovations. Through the adoption of these technologies, firms are holding access to new consumers and increasing competitiveness, enhancing the value of the formaldehyde market besides capturing the sustainable environment.

Market Dynamics

Growing Demand for Formaldehyde-based Resins in Construction

The construction industry, with its large requirement for formaldehyde-based resins, is the major driver of formaldehyde. These resins, and especially urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF), and melamine-formaldehyde (MF), have significant applications in manufacturing wood products such as plywood, particle board, and medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Increased global urbanization and infrastructure development is resulting in considerable growth of the construction industry, thus promoting engineered wood products using formaldehyde-based glue. Due to the high degree of cross-linking, these resins possess high mechanical strength and resistance to moisture and are thus well suited for use in flooring, cabinetry, and furniture.

Increasing preference for green products when constructing buildings also goes up the demand since formaldehyde-based resins improve the performance features of the woods. The following is also increasing the market trend through dedicated investments in green building projects that advocate for energy efficiency and sustainable principles of construction. All these factors hence translate to firm production prospects for formaldehyde in the construction industry.

Shift towards formaldehyde-free alternatives

The shift towards formaldehyde-free alternatives presents a substantial restraint in the formaldehyde market. Increasing concern over health accruable to formaldehyde use in its use as a probable human carcinogen means that consumers and manufacturers have shifted to consider better alternatives. International regulatory authorities continue to establish higher standards and controls for formaldehyde releases across several consumer goods, such as furniture, flooring, and other construction materials. For this reason, several firms are pursuing a strategy of researching and procuring new, formaldehyde-free adhesives and resins suitable for efficient use while demonstrating comparable performance. This shift not only displaces conventional formaldehyde-based products but also introduces competition from new exciting materials that smart consumers will embrace. The growth of green chemistry and demand for eco-friendly solutions may limit the market growth of formaldehyde and force industry participants to change to remain effective in a new setting.

Innovations in eco-friendly formaldehyde alternatives

Innovations in eco-friendly formaldehyde alternatives present a promising opportunity for the formaldehyde market. There is a high demand for an environmentally conscious approach associated with an increase in consumer‘s concern about health. Chemists and formulators have been working on bio-based adhesives and resins with similar performance to those derived from formaldehyde but without the emission of toxic gases. These options can incorporate biodegradable polymers such as soy and starch, which can constitute viable bonding aids that are safe for humans and the environment. Other factors that lead to this trend are the global demand for better-quality, environmentally friendly products, such as the effective utilization of green building products in the construction industry and the extinction of gas-emitting vehicles in the automobile industry. Furthermore, governmental measures to support new sustainable products improve the market opportunities of the innovations. Through the adoption of these technologies, firms are holding access to new consumers and increasing competitiveness, enhancing the value of the formaldehyde market besides capturing the sustainable environment.

Industry Experts Opinion

"The formaldehyde market is at a pivotal point, with an increasing focus on health and environmental safety driving innovation. As a chemist, I see a significant opportunity for developing formaldehyde-free alternatives that maintain performance while reducing toxicity. The continued demand for sustainable building materials and safer consumer products will likely shape research priorities in the coming years. Collaborations between academia and industry will be essential to advance these eco-friendly solutions and meet regulatory standards."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Chemist at Advanced Materials Research Institute

House Hunting: How to Find Your Perfect Match!

With Valentine’s Day behind us, it’s time to focus on another kind of match. If you’re on the search for a home, you’re undoubtedly hoping to find that special house that makes you weak in the knees. Maybe you’ve never been in love (with a house), or perhaps you’re a homeowner who has fallen out of love and is ready to move on. Here are some ideas on how to find your perfect match.

Keep in mind: crushing on a house is a heady feeling, but it’s important to remain somewhat pragmatic so you don’t find yourself living in a nightmare rather than a dream! To avoid heartbreak and disappointment, there are some things to keep your romance grounded in reality.

When looking for love, first consider your vibe. Are you drawn to sleek, contemporary houses? Victorian or Craftsman style homes? This is a start when creating a “house dating profile!” 

Next, create a list of “must-haves.” Remember, these are needs, not just wants – must-haves, not just nice-to-haves.

This will be a highly personalized list, but here are 15 possible non-negotiable must-haves:

One-story living

Type of home (single family, townhome, condo)

Shorter commute

Safe area

Designated parking

Garage

Specific number of bedrooms

Plenty of storage space

Over 55 community

Fenced yard for children and/or pets

Green features

Hi-Tech wiring and security

Multigenerational home

Mother-in-law suite

Within Budget

Next, choose your wish list of wants. Some of the must-haves listed above might actually fit better in this list, but here 15 other possibilities:

Chef’s kitchen

Smart home features

Open floor plan

Upstairs washer and dryer

Playground within walking distance

Gated/master-planned community

Hot tub

Media room

Wine storage

Workout room

Master bath spa

Outdoor kitchen

Pool

Covered patio

Luxury flooring

Once you have come up with your must-have and wish lists, it’s time to share these with a real estate agent who has experience working within the geographic region you’re seeking. Although there are many good search engines online to help you filter appropriate home listings, a good REALTOR® has access to much more information than the ordinary consumer.

A C21Redwood.com agent will not only show you homes that are active on the market, under contract and recently sold — but will also alert you to homes that are COMING SOON! This behind-the-scenes insight boosts your advantage, particularly in a seller’s market.

Also, if you’d rather ease into homeownership, a rent-to-own plan may be right for you. CENTURY 21 Redwood has collaborated with Home Partners of America to create a tool to search for rent-to-own homes, allowing you to experience living in the home you think is your dream home before taking on all the obligations that come with home ownership. Each month’s rent becomes an investment in your future.

Once you start visiting homes, remember that just like you should do on a first date, look for red flags. Even homes that seem to have all the bells and whistles might have underlying issues. Here are some tips.

Ask to see the attic.

Look for proper insulation since a house can lose a lot of heat/air conditioning from a poorly insulated roof.

Look to see if there is any kind of rodent infestation.

Look for leaks.

Check for old wiring.

Check out the basement.

Look for leaks (old, current or hidden):

Water stains on drywall, drop ceiling tiles or wood.

Peeling paint

Bulging or swelling walls

A chalky white substance (mineral deposits from the water)

Look for signs of mold. If the basement smells musty or “dank,” find out if there has ever been a mold issue. Mold growth can be a health concern as well as indicating a structural problem.

Signs of a faulty foundation may not always be in the basement. Look for:

Leaning chimneys

Doors and windows that are hard to open or close

Cracks on walls or floors

Sinking front porches

Buckling floors

Use your nose. 

If there is a strong perfumed smell suggesting scented spray, candles, or plugins everywhere, this might indicate a cover up. Did the previous owner have messy pets? Were they smokers? These odors can be really difficult to expel.

Other potential red flags:

Most issues will be found and noted by a good home inspector, but before you get to that point in the negotiations, take note of these possible issues:

Poor drainage (wet yard when no sprinkler system is utilized)

Overgrown yard

Parking problems

HOA fees, constraints, demands

Nearby railroad tracks, highways, heavy industry

Large trees too close to the house

The flip side of all this: don’t get too hung up on superficial blemishes. Paint color can be changed. Maybe beautiful hardwood floors are hiding under stained carpet. It’s the deeper issues that are sometimes harder to see but are problematic. Don’t be dazzled by cosmetic enhancements, and don’t be deterred by the lack of them. A real gem could be hiding and with proper budgeting can be polished to perfection.

Just as it’s wise when dating to find out the sort of company your prospective partner keeps, it’s also important to check out a potential new home’s neighbors. But how can you do that without knocking on doors and scheduling coffee time with everyone? The truth is, you’ll be hard pressed to find out everything, but there are some tell-tale warning signs.

Use your intuition. Check out the people who are walking down the street. Look at the signs people post in their yards. Are they menacing or in bad taste?

Check out the adjacent properties. Are they derelict or poorly maintained? Are there an awful lot of cars parked at one house – or a lot of comings and goings there?

Are there many, many houses on the market in a given neighborhood? If so, you’ll need to do some investigating to find out why. Is there a crime problem? Is something coming to the community that is less-than-desirable to live near? Better to know now so that you can make an informed decision on whether to proceed with an offer.

Potential

Plan for the future. When possible – and if necessary, make sure there’s room to grow.

If your wish list includes an attached garage and the house you love has everything but that, don’t immediately exclude it as a possibility. Is the yard big enough to add one? Are the setbacks amenable to that addition? Would it be within your budget?

Your perfect match is out there somewhere, maybe it’s time to start looking!

How to Choose the Best Flooring for your Home

Flooring is a key part of any home. It provides comfort, beauty and protection for your floors. But with so many different types of flooring available, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. This guide will help you to choose the best flooring for your home based on your needs and budget.

1. Carpeted flooring

There are three general categories of carpets: wool, synthetic, and jute. Wool carpets are undoubtedly the finest quality in terms of durability, appearance, feel underfoot, and resilience. They are extremely comfortable to walk on. However wool carpets do not wear well in high traffic areas especially when exposed to sunlight for long period of time.

Synthetic carpets were created to provide the comfort and beauty of wool at a lower price point. These carpets typically contain nylon or polyester fibers for strength and durability while textured yarns create the plush feel similar to that found with wool carpeting. Some manufacturers offer stain-resistant treatments which help protect your investment in these types of carpet.

Jute carpets are made from the fiber of jute plants. The natural fiber is very durable and often used to make burlap sacks. Jute’s rustic appearance adds warmth to a room at much less cost than wool carpeting. However it does not wear as well as other types of carpeting or stand up to high traffic areas. It is important that you use proper padding under your carpet depending on how it will be used in your home.

For everyday walking aream install plush, rubber back carpet with latex cushion for maximum comfort and resilience.

A secondary “dining” type carpet should be installed over this primary walking floor covering for added protection against spills and stains plus the dining type pattern will hide soiling within its pattern.

2. Vinyl flooring

Vinyl flooring is available in sheet goods, tiles, and planks. Sheet goods are the least expensive of all vinyl products but they require glue to install them. Tiles can be relatively easy to install in a snap-together fashion or glued in place just like the sheet goods.

They offer a large selection of patterns and textures that can mimic many other types of floors such as ceramic tile, marble, slate, travertine, stone, and wood.

Vinyl plank flooring looks very much like wood planks without any seams so it’s great choice if you want the beauty of hardwood floors but want the ease of installation and lower maintenance costs provided by vinyl floor covering.

Different from conventional VCT, luxury vinyl tile is friendly to the environment.

3. Laminate flooring

4. Wood Flooring

Solid wood floors are heirlooms for generations but proper care must be provided. The best choice to match with your family’s busy lifestyle, hardwood flooring is available in different types of wood.

Each type has its own specific installation requirement and wearing quality. However all share the same need for proper care and maintenance.

5. Ceramic and Porcelain Tile

Ceramic tile is a good choice for your home’s floors if you plan on installing since it comes in a variety of styles, colors, and textures that will match perfectly with any existing decorating scheme or design theme. Moreover ceramic tiles are available in many types but it’s important to take into account water absorbency when choosing this type of covering material.

For example, high-gloss glazed tiles create a surface that has lower water absorbency than matte glazed or oil rubbed bronze finishes which have higher water absorbency ratings. Therefore it’s essential to take into account the amount of exposure to water or moisture your floor will receive, then choose a tile that’s appropriate for that exposure.

There’s no one right answer for which flooring is the best. It all depends on your lifestyle, budget, and preferences.
