Best 3 type floorings that can handle wheelchair use?

Question

I'm trying to figure out ahead of time the 3 top best floorings that can handle the stress and abuse from wheelchair use. Carpeting is a no-no because it picks up stains and stretches as time goes by. I need specifics beyond quick answers like "wood, ceramic, tile" and more of the TYPE of such. There are brands out there that are more studier and require less cleaning and maintenance duties. Vinyl floors are good, but the little squares begin to seep glue, which collects dirt (which needs constant cleaning).

Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

My bro is in a chair and I have two large dogs (Rottweiler and Golden).



The suggested flooring is "Pergo" brand laminate.... Tougher than hardwood and easy to clean...Use only viniger and water.



Bought mine at Lowe's

Answer 2

- hardwood for sure but is costs a lot

- ceramic tile is good but can be pricey and only can be used if your floors are completely level

- you most durable and cheapest option is laminate it looks mostly like hard wood but is plasticized for durability plus it is fairly inexpensive to buy and have installed. Sometimes it is refered to as "floating floor"

I hope I helped :)

Answer 3

Laminated flooring would be good as its nice and smooth and no bumps or you could try tiles. you can still use carpets they wont get marked. wooden floors and vinyl have more chances of getting marked but then again that's your choice. xx

Answer 4

You might want to ask for recommendations from the store you are going to buy your flooring.
