April is officially here and with winter behind us, it’s time to start thinking about your summer plans! For many of us that means, preparing coastal homes before the rush of summer travelers and our own personal use. In this month’s blog, we are going to talk about the most popular and practical options.
First up, Vinyl Planks.
One of our top recommendations for beach homes and condos is to utilize vinyl plank flooring. Let us start off by saying vinyl plank has come a long way in its lifetime and now is much more advanced. Brands like Shaw Flooring have lines that are specifically luxury flooring, with practicality packaged in. Vinyl plank is now strong, durable, flexible, and waterproof – making it the perfect place to come home to after a long day of sun, sand, and surf on the North Carolina coast.
Time to talk tile!
In a coastal condo or home, luxury vinyl tile is well known for its durability. We recommend vinyl tile to shoppers looking for something for their seaside properties. With countless options, you can create the aesthetic of your dreams to match the theme of your home. It’s important to note the ease of cleaning luxury vinyl tile options. With nothing more than a wet mop and cleaning solutions you can efficiently and easily help your floors sparkle (no easy feat in a coastal home)!
Finally, let’s chat carpets!
Many people tend to shy away from carpet when thinking of outfitting their condo because of the stigma of cleaning it. Being on the coast, the elements are bound to make their way in with tenants and other guests. Mohawk, among other carpet brands we offer, have developed their carpets to be much easier to clean and stand up to sand, dirt, and other spills that could happen in a beach condo. Not only has carpet adapted to handle traffic of visitors, elements of the coast, and more, it is also a comfortable choice. Soft under feet and can be a quieter option if you are in a multi-unit building. This is ideal for entertainment spaces as well as bedrooms.
