Installing new floors is an investment. Elegant ceramic tiles, durable hardwood, brilliant laminate or beautiful Berber carpet will add value to your home and greatly enhance your interior.
Depending on the size of the room, replacing an old floor can be quite time consuming and expensive. This is not a project that you want to repeat very often. Therefore, it is best to protect your floors. The following simple suggestions will help you achieve this goal.
1. Square or round glass, wooden or rubber furniture coasters can provide strong support for upholstered furniture.
2. Protect your floors from the office chair with a caster by placing a commercial rug or a thick plastic mat in front of your desk. You can also replace the rollers with a nylon wheel with safer cast rocks.
3. Attach plastic sliders under the feet of chairs, stools, ottomans, and other mobile furniture items to prevent damage to your vinyl and wood floors.
4. Hold lightly textured, insensitive frothy, felt or vinyl dots on pet dishes and flower pots to prevent scratches. Micro pads will also stop moving too much.
5. Buy rubber tips that fit snugly to any type of metal furniture. These covers will stop scratches on the ceramic and tile floors, and also eliminate the chairs for the nerve flexion trim that can be made.
6. Carpets and rugs need a rubber gasket to prevent slipping. Sliding allowance for your decorative runners will also protect delicate floors from rough, prickly linings on the carpet.
Use all possible measures to protect your new floors from damage, and you will enjoy your investments for many years.
