Flooring

Hardwood flooring is made from solid pieces of natural wood, like oak, maple, walnut, or cherry. Each plank is cut from a single piece of timber, giving it a rich, authentic look and feel.

​

Key features:

• Natural beauty: Visible grain, knots, and color variation give every floor a unique look.

• Durable & long-lasting: With proper care, hardwood can last for decades and can be sanded and refinished multiple times.

• Adds value: Often increases the resale value of a home because it’s seen as a premium finish.

• Warm & timeless: Works with almost any decor style—from traditional to modern.

• ​

Best for:

• Living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways.

• Homes where you want a warm, high-end, classic appearance.

• ​

Things to keep in mind:

• Sensitive to moisture and humidity (not ideal for full bathrooms or very damp basements).

• Can scratch or dent, especially with pets, high heels, or heavy furniture.

• Needs regular sweeping/vacuuming and occasional refinishing to stay looking its best.

​

​

Laminate flooring is a popular and budget-friendly alternative to hardwood. It is made from multiple layers of synthetic materials fused together, topped with a printed image that looks like real wood. Thanks to today’s technology, laminate can closely mimic the color, grain, and texture of hardwood—while being more affordable and easier to maintain.

​

Key Features:

• Realistic wood look: Advanced printing creates natural-looking wood patterns, knots, and textures.

• Highly durable: Resistant to scratches, dents, stains, and fading—great for busy homes with kids or pets.

• Cost-effective: Gives the appearance of hardwood at a much lower price.

• Easy installation: Most laminate floors click together and float over the subfloor, making installation fast and simple.

• Low maintenance: No sanding or refinishing needed; just regular sweeping and mopping.

​​

Best For:

• Living rooms

• Bedrooms

• Basements

• Hallways

• Home offices

• Rental properties or budget-friendly renovations

Laminate is ideal when you want the warm look of wood without the higher cost or maintenance of traditional hardwood.

​

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Not as moisture-resistant as vinyl (unless you choose water-resistant laminate).

• Cannot be sanded or refinished like hardwood.

• May produce more sound underfoot, so underlayment is recommended for noise reduction.

Carpet tiles—also called modular carpet squares—are individual pieces of carpet that come in square or rectangular sections. Instead of installing one large roll of carpet, carpet tiles are laid piece by piece, making them easy to install, replace, and design with.

They’re popular in both homes and commercial spaces because they offer style, flexibility, and durability.

​

Key Features:

• Easy to install: Tiles simply lay down with adhesive or peel-and-stick backing.

• Replaceable: If one tile gets stained or damaged, you can replace just that tile instead of the whole floor.

• Design flexibility: Mix colors, shapes, and patterns to create unique floor designs.

• Durable & practical: Works well in high-traffic areas and keeps its shape over time.

• Low maintenance: Easy to clean and often more stain-resistant than traditional carpet rolls.

​​

Best For:

• Basements

• Home offices

• Playrooms

• Hallways

• Commercial spaces (offices, retail, classrooms)

• Rental units, because tiles are replaceable and budget-friendly

Carpet tiles are perfect when you want a soft floor but also want durability and easy maintenance.

​

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Seams may be more visible compared to wall-to-wall carpet.

• Texture and softness vary—some tiles feel firmer than traditional carpet.

• Proper installation ensures tiles stay aligned and secure.

• Patterns must be laid in the correct direction to look even.

Parquet flooring is made from small pieces of wood arranged in decorative patterns, like herringbone, chevron, or basketweave. It can be solid wood or engineered wood, but what makes it special is the pattern, not the plank length.

​

Key features:

• Decorative patterns: Creates a stylish, eye-catching look that feels custom and luxurious.

• Versatile styles: Can be rustic, classic, or ultra-modern depending on the pattern and wood tone.

• Often easier to install in tiles: Many parquet floors come as pre-assembled tiles that fit together like a puzzle.

​​

Best for:

• Living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and feature spaces where you want a statement floor.

• Homes aiming for a boutique, European, or design-forward look.

​​

Things to keep in mind:

• The pattern can make the room feel “busy” if you already have a lot of patterns in furniture or decor.

• Installation requires precision, especially with herringbone and chevron patterns.

• Maintenance is similar to hardwood: regular cleaning and occasional refinishing, depending on the material.

Carpet flooring is a soft, comfortable surface made from woven fibers. It adds warmth, coziness, and sound absorption to any room. Available in many colors, textures, and thicknesses, carpet is a great option for creating a calm and inviting atmosphere in the home.

​

Key Features:

• Soft and comfortable: Provides a cushioned feel underfoot, making it cozy for bedrooms and living spaces.

• Warm and insulating: Helps keep rooms warmer, especially in colder climates.

• Great sound absorption: Reduces noise, making your home quieter—perfect for upper floors or condos.

• Wide variety of styles: Choose from plush, textured, patterned, looped, or low-pile carpets to suit any décor.

• Safe and slip-resistant: Ideal for homes with children or elderly individuals.

​​

Best For:

• Bedrooms

• Living rooms

• Family rooms

• Stairs

• Basements (with proper underpadding)

Carpet is perfect when you want comfort, warmth, and a relaxing feel.

​

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Requires regular vacuuming and occasional deep cleaning.

• More susceptible to stains compared to hard surfaces.

• Not recommended for kitchens, bathrooms, or moisture-prone areas.

• High-traffic areas may show wear over time depending on the carpet type.

Sheet vinyl is a continuous, flexible flooring material that comes in large rolls rather than planks or tiles. It can mimic the look of hardwood, stone, or tile while offering excellent water resistance and easy maintenance. Because it’s installed in wide sheets, it creates a smooth, seamless surface—great for moisture-prone or high-traffic areas.

​

Key Features:

• Waterproof surface: Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.

• Seamless installation: Fewer seams mean fewer places for dirt or moisture to collect.

• Soft and comfortable: More cushioned underfoot compared to tile or laminate.

• Realistic designs: Comes in wood-look, stone-look, tile-look, and many modern patterns.

• Budget-friendly: One of the most affordable flooring options with great durability.

• Easy to maintain: Simply sweep and mop—no special care needed.

​​

Best For:

• Kitchens

• Bathrooms

• Laundry rooms

• Basements

• Mudrooms

• Rental properties or budget-friendly renovations

Sheet vinyl is ideal when you want style + waterproof protection without the high cost of tile or hardwood.

​

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Heavy furniture can leave dents if the vinyl has a softer backing.

• Sharp objects may puncture it if not careful.

• Difficult to repair — damaged sections usually require replacing a larger area.

• Must be installed on a smooth, clean subfloor to avoid visible imperfections.
