Sturdy as the Soldiers


Published

The last Monday of May signals an observance of a federal holiday to honor the great military personnel who died in the nation’s wars. Memorial Day is marked by the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, as well as religious services, parades, and speeches across the country. Veterans’ graves in local cemeteries are decorated with flags, insignia, and flowers. Even today, By far the best military in the world is that of the United States. The US military has few, if any, weaknesses in many areas. They compete in a different league than other countries’ militaries. That is why in strength, nothing can compare to that the physique of an American soldier.

One might think of a military man’s strength in choosing the sturdiest flooring type that possesses great resistance to pressure. A good choice of flooring could last for decades. Here are the top five most durable flooring options for your home.

Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood floors can last a lifetime. For centuries, hardwoods such as oak have been the preferred building material. Because they are derived from slow-growing, broad-leaved trees, hardwoods are naturally more durable. This means that the timber has a higher density than softwoods, giving it greater durability and strength. You will have to wait for a long time to see changes in its strength and appearance. After approximately 25 years, you will notice fading. Hardwood floors can last a century if properly installed. A solid wood plank is exactly what it sounds like: a solid, single piece of wood. Engineered wood, on the other hand, is made up of a plywood or OSB core layer sandwiched between two layers of thin wood veneer.

Vinyl Plank

Vinyl plank, luxury vinyl, LVT, LVP—whatever you call it, this type of flooring has grown in popularity in recent years, owing to its durability. Vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas of your home. Furthermore, most vinyl flooring has a wear layer on the surface that protects it from scratches and stains. The good news is that, depending on the quality and how they’re installed and maintained, vinyl floors can last anywhere from 5 to 25 years.

Porcelain Tile

 

Porcelain tile is a subtype of ceramic tile due to its clay-based construction; however, porcelain tile has a harder construction and greater durability than non-porcelain ceramic tile varieties. Furthermore, the density of porcelain makes it one of the most scratch-resistant flooring options. These tiles absorb less than 0.5 percent of the water that ceramic and other non-porcelain tiles do. These tiles, which are less prone to breakage, will keep their lovely appearance even if you have small children or pets at home. Because porcelain tile floors are known to last for years, they are the best choice for commercial or rental properties.

Laminate

Laminate flooring is the result of a lamination process that fuses together several layers of synthetic flooring. Laminate mimics the look of hardwood or stone while also offering stain, scratch, and scuff resistance. It is made of a high-density fiberboard or plywood core, a realistic image layer, and a protective wear layer. Because of the top wear layer, laminate flooring does not typically fade as quickly or as noticeably as hardwood flooring. Depending on the quality of the flooring, laminate flooring can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years.
