Introduction

As a parent, you have a lot on your plate. Your baby needs diapers, clothes and toys. You need to take care of yourself and your spouse too! And then there’s the housework—you have to maintain it so that it doesn’t become overwhelming. We’re not saying all this to guilt trip you (though we totally are). But rather that if something like flooring can simplify life even just a little bit, why wouldn’t you want to do it? That said, let’s talk about what makes the best flooring options for nurseries or children’s playrooms:

Laminate

• Laminate is a great choice for your nursery or children’s playroom. It is easy to clean and can be mopped or vacuumed regularly. Laminate flooring will last through lots of wear and tear, making it a good long-term investment. Installation is relatively fast and easy, making the project even more cost-effective.
• The best part? You won’t have to worry about replacing laminate floors anytime soon!

Tile (ceramic or porcelain)

Tile flooring is a durable, versatile option that can be used in any room of the house—and you can even change the pattern or color of the tile to match your décor. Tile comes in two forms: ceramic and porcelain. Ceramic is less expensive but also less durable than porcelain, which is more expensive but has a longer lifespan.

Porcelain tiles are usually made of clay fired at very high temperatures (2200-2400 degrees F), resulting in very hard surfaces that are resistant to scratching and staining. Porcelain is also nonabsorbent, making it an ideal material for bathrooms and kitchens because water will not stain them over time like other types of tile do. The downside? Porcelains tend to be heavier than most other types of flooring materials (though they’re still lighter than ceramic).

Wood

Wood is a great option for children’s rooms because it is durable, easy to clean and can be painted and stained. If you want wood flooring in your child’s room, it’s a good idea to check with a professional before installing it over concrete or plywood subfloors. The best way to install wood floors on top of concrete or plywood subfloors is with the joist method. This involves using joists made from 2×8 lumber that run perpendicular through the home (parallel with the walls), which hold up your subfloor and help distribute weight evenly across all areas of the room or play area. When installing this type of flooring, use either solid-core plywood as a base for your new hardwood laminate flooring surface or opt for an engineered wood product such as LVT if you don’t have access to joists running through your house’s framework (which is common). You should also opt for foam padding underlayment instead of sheets of particle board when working with engineered woods like OSB (oriented strandboard) because OSB tends not only cost more than foam but also does not provide adequate noise reduction compared to something like 3/4″ dense closed cell extruded polyethylene rubber foam insulation sheeting.

Carpet

Carpet is a great choice for children’s rooms. It’s soft, comfortable, easy to clean and install. Carpet can also be custom-sized to fit the room.

If you have kids or pets in your home, carpet is a good choice because it absorbs odors and is stain-resistant. The fibers in carpet are dense enough to prevent sharp objects from puncturing through them but soft enough that they won’t hurt little toes or fingers if they get stepped on accidentally.

Laminate is hard-wearing and easy to clean. It comes in a range of styles and colours so you can choose the look that suits you. Laminate floors are also great if you have pets as they don’t absorb moisture from animal urine like carpets do!

Wood looks natural, so it’s ideal for creating a cosy environment in your child’s room or playroom at home. Wood can be stained to match your furniture too! Carpets are soft, warm and comfortable – plus they’re easy to clean (just vacuum them regularly!). Tiles last a long time because they’re durable and waterproofed so there won’t be any leaks coming through onto the floor below (like there might be with wooden floors).

Conclusion

Laminate, wood, carpet and tile. These are the best flooring options for nurseries and childrens playrooms.
