What flooring choice is best?
It depends on the room. Vinyl plank is water-resistant and forgiving, good for kitchens, washrooms and basements. Laminate is affordable and wears well in living areas. Tile lasts longest in wet rooms. Hardwood adds value and warmth but costs more. We help you choose and we install all of them.
The best flooring for you depends on your lifestyle, budget and taste, and on the room it goes in. Here are the common options and their pros and cons.
- Hardwood. A classic choice that can raise your home's value. Durable and long-lasting, with a wide range of styles and finishes. It costs more and needs regular care, and it is not the best choice for wet rooms.
- Laminate. A cost-effective alternative to hardwood. Easy to install, durable, and available in many styles that mimic wood, stone or tile. It can scratch and is harder to repair once damaged.
- Vinyl plank. Durable, easy to install and available in many colours. Water-resistant, so it suits washrooms, kitchens and basements. It can fade in strong sun and a damaged plank is replaced rather than repaired.
- Tile. Durable and long-lasting, in a wide range of styles, colours and patterns. Water-resistant, which makes it ideal for washrooms and kitchens. It is cold underfoot and costs more to install.
- Carpet. Comfortable and warm, and it adds insulation to a room. Many colours and styles at a reasonable price. It is harder to keep clean and is not a good choice for high-traffic areas or homes with pets.
