Fun Facts About Flooring

Fun Facts About Flooring

New flooring can do wonders for your home, whether it’s a stylish carpet, convenient laminate floor or stunning hardwood.

Did you know that ‘flooring’ has a rich history, dating back thousands of years in various forms and methods? So, just to pique your interest, we’ve put together some of the most fascinating flooring facts!

  • There are no two hardwood floors that look alike. Just like snowflakes, wood has its own grain that will vary slightly from tree to tree.
  • The oldest surviving carpet is called the Pazyryk carpet. With a startling age of over 2000 years old, it dates back to the 5th Century BC and was found in the Altai Mountains in Siberia.
  • Vinyl and linoleum are often referred to as the same things, however, they are entirely separate products. Vinyl is completely synthetic, whilst linoleum is made from raw and natural ingredients.
  • The world’s priciest flooring is the Pietra Frimas LuxTouch tile. This stunning black marble design is inlaid with 95 cut diamonds. You could be looking at nearly $1 million per square metre!
  • Homes that have hardwood floors tend to sell for more compared to homes without it.
  • Bacteria can live longer than four weeks in carpets, and can transfer those germs to any food as soon as it touches it –making the ‘five second rule’ a complete myth.
