Attic rooms are increasingly being used as extra bedrooms, studies, or hobby rooms. Therefore, it is important to choose flooring that suits this space.
But what are the best floors for attic rooms? In this article, we discuss various options and provide practical tips.
What should attic flooring comply with?
Attics often have a different construction than the rest of the house. Think of wooden floors, sloping roofs, and temperature differences.
Therefore, it is important that a floor:
- Is lightweight
- Offers comfort for daily use
- Is easy to install
- Is low-maintenance
PVC flooring in the attic
PVC floors are a practical choice for attic rooms. They are wear-resistant, comfortable, and easy to maintain. Additionally, many PVC floors are suitable for underfloor heating.
Thanks to their realistic wood look, PVC also fits various interior styles.
Laminate flooring in the attic
Laminate is a popular flooring option for attics due to its easy installation. The click system makes it possible to lay the floor quickly.
Moreover, laminate is available in many different colours and wood structures.
Wooden flooring in the attic
A wooden floor gives an attic room a warm and natural look. Especially when the attic is used as a bedroom, wood can create extra atmosphere.
In addition, a wooden floor can often be renovated by sanding and refinishing.
Attic room in a family home
In family homes, the attic is often used as an extra bedroom or play area. Therefore, a hard-wearing floor is important.
PVC and strong laminate are often practical choices here.
Attic room in an apartment
In apartments, the attic can serve as a workspace or hobby room, for example. A suitable subfloor helps to limit impact noise.
This keeps the space comfortable to use.
Which look suits an attic room?
Light floors help to make an attic room appear more spacious. Especially with sloping roofs, this can make a big difference.
Wood-look floors are therefore often chosen for attics.
