Selecting the Best Flooring by Room

Flooring is a significant consideration when designing your home. Creating a look that is both functional and gorgeous is essential. Some floors are better for particular areas in your home, while other flooring is not recommended in specific spots.
We'll help you select the ideal floor for each area of your home.

Standard Types of Flooring

### Solid Hardwood Flooring

It is a classic material, suitable throughout the house, aside from the basement and bathrooms.

### Engineered Hardwood Flooring

A phenomenal option for basement floors, an engineered floor is constructed with layers and maintains a ridged form when exposed to moisture.

### Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is an innovative and cost-effective replacement to hardwood flooring. It’s tremendously scratch-resistant and moisture-resistant, making it a great choice for active families and basements.

### Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl is inexpensive in comparison to other options. It is also highly water-resistant and durable, and this helps with moisture control below grade.

### Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tiles are a wonderful long term solution. Tiles come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, 60 x 60 cm high traffic porcelian tiles are stunning, durable and easy to maintain.
