Hardwood flooring, made from real wood, comes in solid (one piece) or engineered (layers) forms and is available in various species and patterns. Typically prefinished with stain and a protective layer, it can also be finished onsite. Though refinishing is possible, it’s often replaced due to the process's expense and mess.Featuring tongue-and-groove construction, hardwood floors are usually nailed or stapled to the subfloor, while engineered wood can also be glued. A moisture test is essential before installation to prevent warping. Hardwood floors have a natural, organic beauty that cannot be replicated in LVP or laminate flooring.

Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together through a lamination process. It mimics the appearance of wood, stone, or other natural materials, with a photographic applique layer under a clear protective layer. The core layer is usually made of high-density fiberboard (HDF).
While laminate flooring is water-resistant, it is not entirely waterproof. Some newer laminate options offer improved water resistance and can handle spills better than traditional laminates, but prolonged exposure to water can still cause damage.
Laminate flooring is made by layering several materials together. The top layer is a transparent, wear-resistant layer that protects against scratches and damage. Beneath this is the design layer, which contains a high-resolution photograph of wood, stone, or tile. The core layer is made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) that provides durability and stability. The bottom layer is a backing layer that provides additional stability and moisture resistance.
Laminate flooring typically ranges in thickness from 6mm to 12mm. Thicker laminate flooring is generally more durable, provides better sound insulation, and feels more like real wood underfoot. Thicker options are also more forgiving of minor subfloor imperfections.
Yes, laminate flooring can be a good choice for homes with pets. It is durable and resistant to scratches and stains, making it suitable for pet traffic. However, it can be slippery for pets and may not provide the same comfort as carpet or softer flooring options.

It comes in various forms, including sheets, tiles, and planks, and can mimic the appearance of natural materials like wood, stone, and ceramic.
Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) is a high-end form of vinyl flooring that offers greater durability, a more realistic appearance, and a thicker construction compared to standard vinyl. It is available in two main types: luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), both designed to closely resemble natural wood or stone.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a type of luxury vinyl flooring that is designed to look like hardwood planks. It features a high-resolution image layer that replicates the appearance of wood, a durable wear layer, and a thick, resilient core that provides stability and comfort underfoot.
Vinyl floors can last anywhere from 5 to 20 years or more, depending on the quality of the product, the level of foot traffic, and how well they are maintained. Luxury vinyl flooring typically has a longer lifespan compared to standard vinyl due to its enhanced durability.
Luxury vinyl flooring is versatile and can be installed in nearly any room of the house, including kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, bedrooms, basements, and laundry rooms. Its water resistance makes it particularly suitable for high-moisture areas.
Yes, luxury vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for bathrooms due to its water resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance. It can handle the high humidity and occasional spills common in bathrooms.
Yes, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is designed to closely mimic the appearance of natural stone, ceramic, or other tile materials. High-resolution imaging and textured surfaces contribute to a realistic look and feel.
Yes, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is designed to replicate the look of natural hardwood planks. Advances in imaging technology and surface textures have made LVP remarkably realistic, with variations in grain, color, and texture that closely resemble real wood.
Vinyl flooring thickness can range from 2mm to 8mm or more. Thicker vinyl typically offers better durability, comfort, and sound insulation. The wear layer, which protects the surface from scratches and wear, is also an important consideration and can range from 6 mil to 40 mil or more.
Yes, luxury vinyl flooring is a great option for homes with pets. It is scratch-resistant, water-resistant, and easy to clean, making it well-suited to handle the wear and tear from pets.
