Have questions about flooring? You’re not alone! Whether you’re updating a single room or building your dream home, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our customers ask. From durability to design, we’re here to help you make confident, informed choices.
What flooring is best for homes with pets?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, and certain high-performance carpets are great for homes with pets. LVP is scratch-resistant, waterproof, and easy to clean, while tile is nearly indestructible. If you prefer carpet, look for options labeled as pet-proof or stain-resistant, often made with special backing to prevent odors and accidents from soaking through.
Can hardwood floors be installed in kitchens or bathrooms?
Yes—with caution. Hardwood can be used in kitchens if properly sealed and maintained, but it’s not ideal for bathrooms due to humidity and moisture. For a similar look with better water resistance, many homeowners choose engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl, or wood-look tile instead.
What flooring options are best for high-traffic areas?
For high-traffic areas like entryways, hallways, or living rooms, durability is key. Great options include:
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) – Scratch- and water-resistant, perfect for families and pets.
Porcelain or Ceramic Tile – Extremely durable and easy to clean.
Engineered Hardwood – More stable than solid hardwood, and can handle foot traffic better.
Loop or Low-Pile Carpet – For those who prefer soft surfaces, commercial-grade carpets or low-pile options hold up better over time.
Proper maintenance, like entry mats and regular cleaning, will also help extend the life of your floors.nar.
