Home Renovation Guide: Peel and Stick Flooring

The spring Windsor real estate market is here. This means we will see more buyers returning to the market but also sellers looking to capitalize on this opportunity. As a seller, you might be thinking what are some upgrades I can make in short order to help the value of my home. For those looking for houses for sale in Windsor you may be looking at some homes that need some updates when you close. If you fall into either of these categories or maybe just looking for a way to spruce up your current home, think about what covers the whole house. No, not the roof, the flooring. Floors can be an expensive upgrade or renovation, however, for the budget conscious homeowner, consider peel and stick flooring.

So let's start with some of the positives. To start, it is easy to install and does not require any expertise. You do not need special tools, and you can do it yourself or with a friend. Next up is the cost, peel and stick flooring won’t break the bank and is very cost efficient. We can also look at the designs, peel and stick flooring comes in many patterns for you to choose from. Some companies even offer floorings that mimic hardwood or ceramic. One last positive is that it also allows you to keep rooms on trend as you can easily replace them as styles and trends change.

On the flip side there are a few things you have to consider. First, peel and stick flooring is not a luxury flooring option, this goes without saying, you know what you are buying. In addition, peel and stick flooring is not well suited for high traffic areas like your kitchen, living areas, or bathrooms as they can wear and lift from water. However they can be useful in areas like laundry rooms to help them appear more high end. It can also be a great option in rooms where you want something temporary until you decide on a permanent option. For example, a kids playroom where the flooring could end up damaged, peel and stick would be a great way to keep the look appealing but not worry about them getting ruined. Plus if you have extra you can simply replace damaged pieces or areas.

Peel and stick floors are not a perfect solution, however they can be a great way to simply spruce up a home for sale or decorate a room with a temporary option.
