Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of flooring?

+

There are many different types of flooring:

  • Hardwood flooring is durable and will never go out of style. It can stand up to foot traffic, but it’s expensive and can also easily become scratched (though resurfacing every 3–5 years will keep hardwood floors looking like new).
  • Engineered wood flooring looks like beautiful hardwood, but the inner core is made from medium-density fiberboard or plywood. This helps protect the floor from humidity (which can damage true hardwood), but know that it isn’t completely moisture-proof.
  • Tiles can be made from ceramic, stone, and porcelain. This type of flooring varies widely in appearance and, because tiles are waterproof and durable, can be used throughout the home.
  • Laminate flooring can imitate the look of wood and is relatively maintenance-free. Laminate is a cinch to install and budget-friendly, but it can be susceptible to water damage and is difficult to repair.
  • Vinyl flooring, lik laminate, mimics the look of wood or tiles at a much nicer price point. However, vinyl can be dinged up by moving furniture and become discolored in the sunlight.
  • Lineoleum flooring is a lot like vinyl, but with one key difference: vinyl is waterproof and linoleum is not. Other than that, the two perform similarly.
  • Carpet is ideal for areas where you want to lounge around, like bedrooms and family rooms. It’s comfortable underfoot, but the fibers might be difficult to clean.

What is the most durable flooring?

+

Hardwood is the most durable flooring and, with proper care, will last decades. Hardwood holds up well against dings and dents, and any scratches can typically be buffed right off. If damage does occur, it’s simple to replace the affected board (or boards) without tearing up your entire floor.

Is carpet cheaper than laminate?

+

Typically, carpet is less expensive than laminate floors. The national average cost of installing carpet is $1,760, while the cost of installing laminate is $2,800.

What are the different types of carpet?

+

There are a few different types of carpeting, and all can come in a variety of materials:

  • Loop fiber: Loop fiber works best in rooms that get lots of traffic including mudrooms, playrooms, family rooms, and children’s bedrooms.
  • Cut fibers: Cut fiber is smoother than loop fiber but not as durable. It can’t hold up to the wear-and-tear of children and pets, and will do best in spaces (and homes) without them.
  • Cut and loop fibers: This carpet looks more contemporary than loop fiber carpet because it has a more varied surface design.
  • Frieze fibers: Commonly known as twisted carpet, this adds a stylish flair to your floors.

What is the best carpet?

+

The best type of carpet for your home completely depends on your needs and personal preferences. For example, if you want a plush, soft carpet in your bedroom, choose a wool loop fiber carpet. If you have allergies, you’ll want an easy-to-vacuum nylon fabric with short cut fibers. Before choosing a type of carpet, review a few different samples in person.
