Should I get timber flooring over carpet?

If you are weighing up between laying carpet or installing floorboards in your home, here is the full breakdown of things to consider:

• Maintainability - Floor coverings are easy to maintain. Flooring tends to be sturdy and durable, and only require a sweep every few days to prevent dirt from damaging the timber. Carpets trap dust and pet hair, and need to be vacuumed often. Additionally, stains can often be difficult to remove on carpets.
• Style - Hardwood flooring and wood floorings are timeless and can be easily refreshed with a new stain or polish. Parquet flooring offers fantastic aesthetics that complements many different styles.
• Cost - Laminate flooring is initially more expensive to install than most carpets. However, if cared for appropriately, flooring can last for many decades to come.
• Sound - Floorboards cause footsteps to be loud and echoey. This may be a problem depending on how many people live in the building. Acoustic underlays can mitigate this.
