Advantages and disadvantages of different flooring for the yard

Artificial grass in your yard

Carpet

An ordinary floor mat can also be used as a street surface. And their bright colors and intricate ornamentation look good in an open space. Let’s consider it in more detail.

Pros:

They can be swapped out at any time, or removed altogether if you are tired of them. Small mats are fine to put under chairs and other seating, or you can use one large one to place a table and a few chairs on it. In this case, you can walk barefoot in the yard without fear to stain or hurt your feet.

Cons:

Need to consider what surface will be under the carpet. If it’s planks, it will trap moisture and the wood will rot. And if the surface is stone or concrete, the carpet will slip. Young children, and indeed yourself, can fall carelessly.

Tiles of different colors

Carpet tiles

This tile has a long history. Now you can choose the color, fiber and manufacturer to your taste. It’s a decorator’s dream. But consider the advantages and disadvantages.

Pros:

Carpet tiles are easier to care for than regular carpet or roll coverings. Since it’s modular, you can fill any size space with it. And if you spill something or ruin one item, you can easily replace it with a new one.

Cons:

Even though it’s carpeted, it’s still tile. This flooring will not be seamless and uniform like a traditional carpet. And moisture can get underneath it, so you have to periodically check what’s going on inside.

Soft flooring

These tiles are commonly used for flooring in children’s rooms. But they can also be used in outdoor spaces. Solid or geometric patterned coating is installed on top of concrete, tile or wooden decking on porches or right outside.

Pros:

These tiles are easy to adapt to any style and configuration of the room. The choice of colors is very wide. And if it rains, the surface will dry quickly and everything will be fine again.

Cons:

Be sure to read all the information about the manufacturer you choose carefully. Some soft coatings contain harmful toxic substances. It is better to use it in an open ventilated area.
