An estimated 10 percent of new Las Vegas residents are retirees, according to Insider Las Vegas.
Las Vegas is an international tourist destination and is also home to 1.1 million people, according to Insider Las Vegas. The Southwest desert city experiences hot, dry and windy summers, with temperate weather for the remainder of the year. Las Vegas homes often feature flooring that is easy to clean because of the large amounts of sand that is tracked into homes, and many homes feature energy-efficient flooring that can help keep the house cool during the scorching summers. Does this Spark an idea?
Carpet
Carpeting is mainly used in bedroom and sitting areas throughout Las Vegas homes. Installing carpet helps make Las Vegas homes more "Green" because the material has low-heat conduction and is a natural thermal insulator. This type of flooring is especially popular with families and elderly residents because the carpet reduces slipping accidents and decreases stress on the joints. Carpets also absorb sound making your home quieter.
Tile
Ceramic tile floors are a popular choice in Las Vegas homes because they are durable, easy to clean and come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Newer Las Vegas homes feature 18-inch by 18-inch tiles that are laid horizontally or angled. The tile floors work very well in kitchens and bathrooms because the material is moisture resistant and it allows for easy clean up by sweeping, vacuuming or mopping.
Wood
Hardwood floors are installed in Las Vegas homes because the flooring material is easy to clean and can last a lifetime. Wood floors are one of the most environmentally-friendly materials you can use because it comes from trees, which are a renewable resource. These floors can also be recycled and are biodegradable. Some Las Vegas homes use laminate flooring instead of hardwood to keep costs down.
Stone
Natural stone floors can be found inside upscale Las Vegas homes. The most popular natural stone flooring is travertine and marble. While some homeowners like the natural element that travertine and marble floors bring into their home, others do not like the vast variation from one tile to the next. Each section of flooring varies with different mineral deposits, veins, patterns and colors. This type of flooring can be slippery and is often pricey to install.
