When it comes to wood floor designs, homeowners have fallen in love with the traditional and natural appearance of hardwood. However, this material has proven to be expensive and often difficult to take care of. Fortunately, there’s a solution: wood-look laminate and vinyl tile flooring. Here, the team at Interior Designs in Holmen, WI, explains why these materials have become so popular with their customers.

Floor Designs: 3 Reasons Wood-Look Flooring Is Popular

1. Low Cost

Floor designs that include lookalike wood substances are often far less expensive than hardwood flooring. In fact, real wood is more difficult to install, which only increases its price further. Finally, the cost of hardwood flooring is often determined by how exotic the wood is, while laminate and vinyl flooring prices remain consistent and much lower.

2. Easy to Clean

When it's time to do a more in-depth clean, you can easily mop the floor with a mild cleanser. Hardwood floors, however, require more care, and homeowners have limited options for cleaners: You can’t use water, vinegar, or soap-based cleaning products, as these will damage the flooring. 

3. Longer Lifespan

Laminate and vinyl floor designs also have a much longer lifespan than hardwood floors. This is because they are far more durable and resistant to moisture, while hardwood is susceptible to scratches and other damage. 

If you, like so many others, have fallen in love with the beautiful appearance of a wood floor design but are also seeking lower costs and greater durability, consider vinyl or laminate wood-look floors instead. Interior Designs will be happy to help you pick out the right option for your home.
