The quickest way to get new wood underfoot is to install a floating floor. Unlike traditional solid-wood strips, a floating floor isn't nailed down. Instead, the planks are either glued or snapped together. The planks go down fast, over any material—concrete, plywood, sheet vinyl, even ceramic tile. This sandwich of wood veneer glued to layers of pine or plywood looks like solid wood and is very stable. The main benefit of a floating floor is that it can be done in just one day.
Engineered wood floors are made of thin sheets of wood glued together like plywood. Solid wood is classic and can last a century, but engineered flooring offers a quicker, easier way to get a new floor, and it comes with a durable factory-applied finish.
Tired of your kitchen floor? Why not paint a checkerboard floor? A little measuring and a couple of coats of durable floor paint can add a lot of personality to a room for a small price.
I'm obsessed with this!
Tile floors are beautiful and don't require much maintenance. Tile also offers a level of customization that other floors don't. You can play with patterns and designs to suit your taste. As durable as they may be, these thin, fragile slices of ceramic do require some special care and preparation.
Epoxy coat a garage or even basement floor! Epoxy resists oil stains, beads water, and wipes clean like a kitchen counter. Color chips and custom paint colors hide annoying imperfections in the concrete. All you need for this project is a weekend to sweep the dirt out and paint the epoxy on.
