How does hybrid flooring stack up against the rest

HOW DOES HYBRID FLOORING STACK UP AGAINST THE REST

Carpets on the Move are all about hybrid flooring, which combines the durability of vinyl, with the natural beauty of hardwood. Typically, it features a rigid core and a wear layer, making it highly resistant to scratches and water damage, compared to other types of flooring. Providing the perfect balance between the benefits of vinyl and the authentic aesthetics of hardwood, hybrid flooring is the ideal option to transform various spaces around your home and this month, we’re going to look at how it compares to other types of flooring.

Hybrid vs Luxury Vinyl

In terms of composition, hybrid flooring combines the best features of vinyl and laminate flooring. Similar to luxury vinyl, it has a rigid core, but also has an added layer, which provides additional water resistance and durability. Thicker than traditional luxury vinyl, hybrid flooring has enhanced acoustic properties and also feels more solid underfoot. Finally, hybrid flooring often provides a more realistic wood or stone appearance, compared to some vinyl flooring options.

Hybrid vs Hardwood

Compared to hardwood flooring, hybrid flooring is more water-resistant, making it an ideal choice for areas with potential water exposure. Additionally, hybrid flooring is easier to maintain, as it doesn’t require refinishing or special treatments to uphold its appearance. Finally, hybrid flooring is generally more affordable than hardwood, which is an added boon these days.

Hybrid vs Laminate

Hybrid flooring consists of multiple layers, typically including a rigid core layer, a vinyl layer with a decorative design, and a wear layer. Laminate flooring also has multiple layers, but usually consists of a fibreboard core, with a high-resolution image of wood or stone on top, covered by a protective layer. Given the make-up of hybrid flooring, it is more durable and resistant to dents and scratches, due to its core layer. Although both hybrid and laminate-style floors are available in DIY-friendly click-lock systems, given hybrid’s water resistant properties, it is definitely the preferred choice for certain areas of the house.

Hybrid vs Tile

Unlike cooler tiles, hybrid flooring offers better comfort and warmth underfoot and generally requires less maintenance and grout cleaning than tiles. Another advantage is that hybrid floors are usually faster and easier to install compared to tiles, especially if it uses a click lock system.

What areas of the house are perfectly suited to Hybrid?

Hybrid flooring’s unique combination of water-resistance, durability and realistic appearance makes it a versatile flooring option that can be used in various rooms of the house. Given its’ water and scratch resistant properties, areas such as the kitchen and bathroom, which are prone to both high traffic and water spills, are perfectly suited to hybrid flooring. Additionally, hallways, office spaces and living rooms, which all receive a lot of foot traffic, are perfect areas to lay hybrid flooring, as not only will it look great for longer, but it will also feel great underfoot.

However, like all flooring, there are some areas of the house where carpet could be more suitable. For example, carpet in the bedrooms may be a better fit for a cosier feel underfoot, or to reduce noise, carpet could be the preferred option on stairs. More often than not however, hybrid floors will be the perfect solution to all your interior flooring needs.

HOW TO MAKE A ROOM FEEL BIGGER

If you live in a small home or apartment, you may find that your living space feels cramped and cluttered. However, there are several ways to make your room feel bigger and more spacious without actually expanding its physical size. Here are some tips to help you create the illusion of more space in your room:

Replace Your Flooring

If your room has old and worn-out carpet, replacing it with a new, plush option can make a big difference in the look and feel of your space.

This can also help to create a smoother transition between rooms, making your space feel more open and cohesive. Contact us today for a free quote.

Use Light-Coloured Carpets

Using light-coloured carpets can also help to make your room feel more spacious. Light colours reflect more natural light and create a brighter, more open environment. Lighter carpets can also help to create a clean and airy feeling in your space, making it feel more welcoming and inviting. Contact us to arrange for our mobile showroom to come to you.

Choose Smaller Furniture

Choosing smaller furniture pieces can also help to make your room feel more spacious. If you have large, bulky pieces of furniture, consider swapping them out for smaller options. Choose furniture with clean lines and minimalistic designs to create a sleek and modern look. This can also help to create more open floor space, making your room feel bigger.

Utilise Vertical Space

One of the best ways to make your room feel bigger is to use vertical space. Installing floating shelves, bookcases, or wall-mounted storage can help to free up floor space and create more room to move around. This can also help to create a more organised and clutter-free environment, making your space feel more open and airy.

Add Mirrors

Mirrors are an excellent way to create the illusion of more space in your room. They reflect natural light and create the illusion of depth, making your space feel bigger and more open. Consider adding a large mirror or even a mirrored wall to make your room feel more spacious and bright.

Use a Neutral Colour Scheme

Using a neutral colour scheme can also help to make your room feel more spacious. Neutral colours like beige, grey, and white create a clean and calming environment that makes your space feel more inviting. You can also add pops of colour with decorative pillows, curtains, or other accent pieces to create a more personalised look.

In conclusion, there are several ways to make your room feel bigger and more spacious. Replacing your old and worn-out carpet with luxury vinyl flooring or discount carpet can give your room a more modern and polished look. Choosing light-coloured carpets, using smaller furniture, utilising vertical space, adding mirrors, and using a neutral colour scheme are all great ways to create the illusion of more space in your room.

How to recognise cheap flooring imitations

HOW TO RECOGNISE CHEAP FLOORING IMITATIONS

Don’t let cheap flooring imitations fool you! Sure, they may seem like a steal at first, but the reality is they could cost you more money in the long run. That’s why at Carpets on the Move, we take quality seriously. We understand that flooring is an investment in your home, and we only use the best materials for all of our products and services, including carpet, vinyl plank flooring, and hybrid flooring. You deserve flooring that looks great and lasts for years without needing a carpet replacement, and cheap imitations simply won’t cut it.

Carpet imitations

Let’s start with carpet. Carpet is a popular choice for its softness and warmth, but not all carpets are created equal. Cheap imitations may look great initially, but they can quickly wear out and lose their shape, leaving you with an unattractive and uncomfortable floor. On the other hand, good quality carpet made from high-quality materials with a strong backing can last for years with proper care and maintenance. Our team at Carpets on the Move can recommend the best carpet options for your home, provide you with a free quote, and install your new carpet with precision. Contact us today to arrange your free quote.

Vinyl Plank flooring imitations

Vinyl plank flooring is another popular option for its durability and affordability. However, not all vinyl plank flooring is created equal. Cheap imitations may look similar to the real thing, but they lack the durability and resilience of high-quality vinyl plank flooring. Good quality vinyl plank flooring is made from durable materials that can withstand heavy foot traffic and resist scratches and scuffs. When choosing vinyl plank flooring, it’s crucial to look for a thick wear layer and a strong warranty. At Carpets on the Move, we’ll guide you through the process, recommend the best vinyl plank flooring options for your needs, and provide you with a free quote.

Hybrid Flooring imitations

Lastly, hybrid flooring is a relatively new type of flooring that combines the durability of vinyl plank with the natural look and feel of hardwood. Like other types of flooring, there are cheap imitations of hybrid flooring that may look similar to the real thing but lack the quality and durability of high-quality hybrid flooring. Good quality hybrid flooring is made from high-quality materials and has a strong backing. It should also have a thick wear layer that can withstand heavy foot traffic and resist scratches and scuffs. Choosing high-quality hybrid flooring will ensure that your floors look great and last for years without needing to be replaced. Contact us today for a free quote.

In conclusion, when it comes to flooring materials like carpet, vinyl plank flooring, and hybrid flooring, it’s important to beware of cheap imitations. Choosing high-quality flooring materials that are made from durable materials and backed by strong warranties will ensure that your floors look great and last for years to avoid carpet replacement. So, take your time, do your research, and invest in quality flooring materials for your home. Your wallet (and your feet) will thank you in the long run. At Carpets on the Move, we understand this and only use the best materials for all of our products and services. So, if you’re looking for a flooring solution that is beautiful, durable, and long-lasting, look no further than Carpets on the Move.

How often should you replace your carpet?

Carpet is a popular flooring choice for our customers, and it’s not hard to see why. There is nothing quite like getting home after a long day, kicking off your shoes and feeling instantly relaxed by the softness of plush carpet under your feet. Like with all flooring options, wear and tear from children, pets and dirty shoes is inevitable, but with correct maintenance you can extend the lifespan of your carpets. If well maintained, Carpets On The Move recommend carpet replacement every 10 years and up to 15 for well-maintained commercial carpet. Here are some signs your carpet may be due for an upgrade and how you can increase the longevity of your flooring.

Signs you need to replace your carpet soon

Matting & Flatness

By design, carpet should look and feel even, plush and soft. Eventually the natural fibres will give way to constant wear, particularly in high traffic areas of the home. This can look like matted fibres or when the carpet no longer appears even, with some parts falling flat. This happens when the padded layer beneath the carpet is compromised and worn, unfortunately this cannot be repaired and calls for full carpet replacement.

Staining & Discolouration

Over time carpet will naturally fade from UV exposure and repetitive use of cleaning products. Most of us have been guilty of missing that extra bit of red wine stain that was hiding behind the furniture, or any number of the miscellaneous stains that come with having children. There are a multitude of treatments but when the professional cleaners still can’t remove the stains or there is overall colour loss, it’s time to upgrade.

Age & Damage

It goes without saying, that carpet with obvious damage like tearing and fraying should be immediately replaced. Sometimes carpet may appear alright but then you will notice an increase in allergy symptoms or a lingering musty odour. Water damage, mould and build-up of dust and dander can trigger these symptoms and leave your carpet feeling stale. Although, carpet does not have to be damaged to be replaced either, carpet that doesn’t suit your personal style can make your home feel outdated, personal preference alone is enough of a reason to seek out new carpet.

How you can care for your carpet to make it last longer and stay fresh

Prevention is the best method when it comes to caring for your carpets. The first step is to choose a long-lasting carpet to begin with. Consider where the carpet will be laid in your house and opt for more densely woven, durable, stain resistant carpets for high traffic areas such as the lounge and entry ways.

Removing footwear will assist in keeping carpets clean and dry for longer, if you have pets or small children try using entry and area rugs to catch the extra dirt, moisture and crumbs in entryways and under tables. This will allow for more frequent washing of the area rug and will absorb the wear and tear instead of the carpet below.

Proper cleaning is the best way to ensure the longevity of your carpet. By dusting the surfaces of your home regularly, this prevents the dust from falling on and settling into the carpet. Vacuuming regularly in a slow, crosshatch pattern is encouraged to remove dust and pet hair build up from the carpet fibres. We also recommend professional carpet cleaning is at least every 18 months for residential carpet and every 12 months for rental properties to increase the lifespan of your carpet.

If your carpet is looking neglected or outdated Carpets On The Move can help you find a stylish replacement to make your home feel fresh again.

How a third La Niña is going to impact your floors.

HOW THE MOISTURE FROM A THIRD LA NIÑA IS GOING TO

IMPACT YOUR FLOORS AND WHAT YOU SHOULD DO.

If you live in the Northern Rivers and SE Queensland then chances are you’ve heard the term La Niña been used frequently this past year. But what is it and how does it impact you and your floors?

Put simply, there are steady winds that travel along the equator called trade winds, in a neutral state they are responsible for seasonally appropriate, warmer weather and the wet season in the north of Australian in summertime.

There are two seemingly opposite pacific weather events El Niño and La Niña, that can have global implications when they disrupt these trade winds. La Niña occurs when the trade winds essentially go into overdrive and push too much warm water around the north and east of Australia, this drastically increases cloud development, creates cooler weather and increases rainfall. La Niña events can last just a few months or up to a few years and we are currently in our third consecutive La Niña event which hasn’t happened for twenty years.

How will this impact your floors?

The consistent wet weather has led to flooding and pervasive mould issues all across the country. When regular hardwood floors are exposed to increased moisture and humidity there is potential for bubbling and cracks. Poor installation or acclimation and flooding can lead to more pronounced damage such as cupping, crowning and buckling.

Carpet is the most likely flooring option to be affected by the ongoing La Niña event. Even a low pile, densely woven carpet can be subject to mould and musty odour if proper preventative steps are not taken. Wet shoes and soggy pets tracking in unwanted excess moisture should be avoided while in a period of increased humidity.

With correct professional installation, vinyl plank flooring is 100% waterproof and one of the best options for a wet and humid climate. However, if you have existing vinyl floors that are reaching the end of their life, check for cracks in the seals and edges are this is where excess moisture can seep in and create mould issues in your subfloor.

What you can do

Ventilation is a key element to combating mould during a La Niña event. Practical steps you can take to increase ventilation in your home are creating a cross breeze by opening windows and doors. In buildings or in periods of excess rain where this isn’t possible, using ceiling or pedestal fans throughout the space can achieve adequate ventilation. Also utilise exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens to avoid adding further moisture into the air.

During the third La Niña we can expect the humidity to fluctuate quite drastically, by utilizing dehumidifiers in your home you can prevent damage to your flooring. Electronic dehumidifiers are the preferable option, particularly if they have an adjustable thermostat. The optimal humidity range for hardwood floors sits between 30% – 50% and 40% – 50% for carpets. Keep in mind that permeant damage can result for prolonged periods over 55% for hardwood and 65% for carpets. Household humidity can also be kept in check by running reverse air cycling units on the dry setting.

As domestic and commercial flooring specialists we recommend household carpet replacement after 5 years if it hasn’t been well maintained and ten years for carpets that have been well cared for. Depending on the material, commercial carpets have a lifespan of 5-10 years. If you’re contemplating replacing worn out flooring or upgrading your floors to better suit the conditions, Carpets On The Move are your local experts on flooring. Get in touch today to see the flooring options we have to get your through the third La Niña!

How is Vinyl Flooring Made? – Three Key Steps.

How is Vinyl Flooring Made? – Three Key Steps that Answer this Question

For many people, the look and feel of a hardwood floor or natural tiling are among the top things that make a home that much more inviting. They add character to the home and make it comfortable for residents and visitors alike. When trying to achieve this, it can be tempting to opt for the real thing, but there are many reasons why a plastic substitute may serve you better. Vinyl flooring on the Gold Coast has been a popular stand-in for hardwood over the last few decades, but what is it and how is it made to look so convincing? We cover these questions in this article.

What is Vinyl Flooring, Anyway?

Vinyl flooring is a compound material made from a mixture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin and different additives, which is then structured into a vast range of flooring sheets. It comes in a variety of forms so that it can be modelled after almost any natural flooring material. Vinyl flooring serves as an easy-maintenance, durable alternative to wooden or stone flooring.

Step 1: Combine the Basic Materials to Produce Vinyl Compound

The base product in vinyl flooring is PVC resin, which can be combined with other ingredients, such as plasticisers, stabilisers, pigments, and fillers. Each adds its own properties, such as flexibility, colour, resistance against the elements, and more.

Step 2: Construct Vinyl Sheets by Layering the Material & Bonding it Together

Once the compounds are made, the next step is to create sheets, which are then bound together to create vinyl flooring boards. These can be coloured in various ways in preparation for the last step.

Step 3: Use the Latest Printing Technology to Imitate Your Natural Material of Choice

Lastly, we create the final look based on assorted designs. Some are printed patterns, and others are replicas of natural flooring materials. Either way, you get what you’re looking for.

Install Top Quality Vinyl with the Help of Experts Near You

The most crucial element to look out for is the standard of vinyl flooring products available in your locale. It doesn’t help if you buy sheets that completely miss the quality mark.

The Latest Flooring Trends & Six of Our Favourites.

What are the Latest Flooring Trends? We Share Six of Our Favourites

When was the last time you switched up the floors in your home? If it’s not recent, then it’s likely that a revamp has crossed your mind a couple of times. But where do you even begin? Choosing new flooring is far more complicated than, say, buying a pair of denim jeans. Once you do it, you’re kind of stuck with the decision for at least some years to come. In this blog, we discuss our favourite flooring trends going into 2020, including vinyl plank flooring and other flooring options on the Gold Coast.

Flooring Trend #2: Beachy, Bleached Design that Brightens Up the Room

Traditionally, wooden flooring looks have had a dark and heavy finish. However, sandy-looking vinyl floors are gaining traction. They reflect light well and create the illusion of space, so they’re great for smaller rooms.

Flooring Trend #3: Texture, Texture, Texture – A Feel that Enhances the Look

Not only is there a focus on how the flooring looks, but the way it feels matters too. Vinyl flooring with wooden, stone, or concrete texture add depth, which adds to the “realness” of it all. This trend is the difference between a cheap-looking knock-off and going the whole way.

Flooring Trend #4: Build Up a Bold Floor Using Big Blocks

Large tile or planks are a great way to make a bold statement with your flooring. When installed well, this type of flooring really brings out the artistry that goes into making tiles.

Flooring Trend #5: Easy Maintenance Waterproof Flooring Materials

No matter if you live alone or share your home with others, liquid spillage is inevitable. Mistakes happen, but they shouldn’t cost you money. Waterproof flooring ensures that your floor stays in top condition with a quick wipe – saving you both time and money.

Flooring Trend #6: Vinyl Plank Flooring that Looks More Like the Real Thing

You’ll never get closer to the real thing than this, plus vinyl plank flooring is easy to clean and maintain.

What are the most Waterproof Flooring Options?

If you are living in the Gold Coast or any other region of Australia that experiences high moisture content, then perhaps you need a waterproof flooring option. As it sounds, this type of flooring has been designed to resist water or stop moisture from penetrating through to the top of the floor. To achieve this,most water-resistant/waterproof flooring types are made from a material(s) that repels water instead of absorbing. It is important to note that not all the carpeting options available in the market have this special characteristic. That notwithstanding, some options branding themselves as waterproof may not actually be, and so you might get the wrong piece if you go by the advertisement slogans! However, you will not go wrong with your purchase if you know some of the waterproof/water-resistant flooring options out there. Here below are a few that take the lead:

#1. Waterproof Vinyl Flooring

Since its introduction to the flooring market in 1933, vinyl flooring has since become the choice for homeowners looking for waterproof flooring options. This super-flooring product is the best choice for individuals who desire to bring out the beauty and elegance of natural hardwood right into their decor, yet they fear the consequences of moisture. This water-resistant and waterproof flooring provides more settings due to its material innovations and designs. The good news is that many vinyl flooring types, like vinyl plank flooring, now offers wood-like, premium-quality finishes and highly durable surfaces that cost far much lower than conventional materials. They are incredibly easy to install, as you do not have to worry about sealing or waxing. This option is ideal for areas such as bathroom, entryway, or kitchen.

#2. Waterproof Carpet Flooring

There is no doubt that the underfoot feel of carpet flooring is hilarious. Besides caressing and cushions your feet, it also provides the much-needed warmth to your room. You and I will definitely get lost in the limitless aesthetics and modern designs (including colors, patterns, or even mosaics) making carpets all-time remarkable flooring type. However, we all knew that carpets attract moisture and become damp over time. However, thanks to modern technologies, most of the recent carpet flooring is now excellent waterproof options. Many waterproof carpet brands are designed from synthetic fibers that make them not only water repellant but also mildew-resistant and stain-resistant.

#3. Waterproof Ceramic/porcelain Flooring Tile

Whether it is the kitchen, bathroom, entryways, or anywhere else that needs a flooring option with waterproof abilities, the Ceramic/porcelain tile is the best fit. With this product, you would need to worry about moisture or water damaging your flooring. This highly durable and moderately priced option is available in a myriad of styles and designs to choose from. As a matter of fact, hardwood enthusiasts will find some waterproof ceramic/porcelain tiles that appear like wood. The good news is that this product looks very classy and delivers an easy to clean or maintain experiences.

#4. Engineered Hardwood Flooring

If you are the lot whose heart sets on hardwood flooring throughout the house, then you can choose the engineered hardwood flooring as one of the waterproof options. Besides the great look of hardwood flooring, it ultimately increases its value. Well, in the recent past, most homeowners avoided using hardwood flooring in areas prone to excess moisture like in the kitchens or bathrooms as it could warp or expand. However, with the introduction of engineered hardwood flooring option, it can be installed in places that convention hardwood planks cannot, like in the bathrooms or kitchens. They have been designed to hold up in rooms with a high amount of moisture and humidity. Since they are incredibly moisture resistant, for instance, any liquid spilling on them can be cleaned easily with a single wipe.

#5. Waterproof Laminate Flooring

The last in the list of the waterproof flooring options is the waterproof laminate flooring. This luxurious and vibrant flooring available in endless designer colors and styles is arguably one of the most popular flooring options out there in the market. It is highly durable, affordable, and resistant to fading and stains. More often than not, the surface of this flooring is protected from moisture, but it is not always the case with the spaces between its surfaces. For that reason, it is should not be installed in prone-to-moisture areas like bathrooms, entryways, or kitchens. However, if you truly to experience a waterproof case with this remarkable flooring option, then you just need to install a floating laminate floor, sealing properly all the spaces between the adjacent components.
