If you live around or near the coast in Florida and frequent the beach, there is no doubt you probably struggle with sand finding its way into your home. While the beaches give many Florida coastal homeowners a place to cool off and relax, it, unfortunately, follows you home (and not in a good way!).
Whether you own a beach home or your permanent residence is near the coast, there are several ways you can make your beach clean-up experience easier—starting with your flooring.
Which Floors Are Best for Beach Homes?
Sand can be the biggest reason why you change your flooring to meet the demands of owning a home near the beach, but your decision can also be determined by coastal themes and maintenance that is required for a beach home. Below, we have compiled a list of the three best types of flooring for your Florida beach home.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury vinyl has come a long way in recent years. What used to be very expensive is now affordable for most. Best of all, luxury vinyl plank flooring is easy to clean. Because hardwood flooring can be easily ruined with sand and exposed sunlight, luxury vinyl gives homes that hardwood flooring look without risking expensive damage over time. Vinyl plank is also waterproof, making it durable against time, messes, and high levels of traffic.
Tile
There is a reason why many homeowners put tile in their kitchens and bathrooms. It is not only durable, but one of the easiest floors to clean, making it ideal for your Florida beach home. While tile typically isn’t found in living areas of typical homes, your coastal home can incorporate a wide variety of tiles throughout all areas and still feel homey. Beach homes can benefit from the clean look of tile flooring with the added bonus of easy upkeep, no matter what you may track in from the beach.
Concrete
Concrete flooring has become a huge trend in the last few years. Giving many homes an industrial look, concrete flooring is durable and can withstand just about anything! Some flooring companies are now offering dying and coloring techniques where you can change the color from the dark, industrial look of regular concrete to a modern, one-of-a-kind colored or textured finish. Concrete flooring is easy to clean and maintain, which is perfect for coastal properties.
One disadvantage of installing concrete flooring is how hard the floor is. However, with area rugs and frequent vacuuming, concrete can be a durable flooring that requires less upkeep for your coastal lifestyle.
