Sand Luxury Vinyl Plank

Many of our clients look for durable flooring options that require minimal maintenance, especially families and pet owners. This post will outline some comfortable flooring options that hold up to foot traffic as well as our weather conditions.

1. LVP and LVT

   1. Very resistant to scratches, dents and staining as well as being water resistant. A great option for throughout the home but especially for areas like the mudroom, laundry, kitchen and bathrooms. Also easy to clean with warm water and a mop.

2. Engineered Hardwood

   1. Although it is a porous material, it is still durable against general wear and tear. The wood grain typically hides any smaller dents and scratches that could occur overtime. It can also withstand temperature fluctuations with minimal to no warping or gaping. Clean with an oil based soap and a mop.

3. Porcelain Tile

   1. Tile is one of the most durable flooring options on the market since it is resistant to scratches, dents, chips and staining as well as being water proof. Porcelain tile is typically thicker and can be used for the floor or walls as well. It is also waterproof, making it a great option for the mudroom, laundry, kitchen and bathrooms.

Depending on specific needs, the above are great durable options that continue to offer easy maintenance and comfort. Choosing a durable floor is just as important as choosing a floor that is beautiful, we want your home to stand the test of time and look like new for years to come!
