You roll out of bed in the morning only to set your feet down onto a ice-cold floor. Hardwood flooring is gorgeous to look at, but it can feel cold on a winter’s morning. Some flooring solutions can’t hold onto heat as well as we’d like.
Peninsula Flooring Direct have some tips on how to warm your floor this winter and some helpful details on which flooring options retain heat the best.
Carpet is an obvious choice for warm floor covering. It’s soft and comforting, an excellent option for bedrooms, playrooms and family rooms. Carpet with long, plush fibers provide more warmth than loop-style carpeting.
Timber look Laminate and Hybrid flooring with a padded underlay will help this type of flooring retain some warmth. 3-5mm padded underlay is the best choice for laminate. But please note, going thicker than 5mm could interfere with laminate’s locking system.
One of the simplest ways to warm your timber floors in the winter is to add some rugs to your space, this solution can add coziness and extra cushion, help protect floors, and even make a room look more stylish. Best of all, an area rug by the side of your bed can make setting your feet down on the floor in the morning much more comfortable.
