A Flooring Guide Room by Room

You want to transform your home with updated flooring but choosing the right floor based on usage can be a difficult decision. Whether you are planning to replace the flooring in your kitchen, living room, bathroom, or basement, there is a solution to meet all of your needs – from high traffic areas, to pet-friendly options.

Your choice of flooring is one of the most important decisions you have to make when it comes to improving your home, so you want to be sure you’re making the right one. Here’s a brief overview of the different types of flooring and where they can be installed.

Hardwood flooring is a natural, timeless option with lasting durability. Hardwood can be installed in most rooms of your home. However, it isn’t recommended in bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, or other areas with high humidity. The best places for hardwood flooring includes main living areas, hallways, and kitchens.

Engineered wood flooring is made from a laminate construction and provides excellent durability. The top veneer is real wood, so it has wood’s natural warmth and beauty. It is suitable for basement remodeling in St. Louis, and other areas of the home with high humidity.

Laminate flooring is designed to look and feel like wood or high-end stone but is available on a practical budget. You can install this type of flooring almost anywhere including bathrooms, kitchens, mud rooms, foyers, dining rooms, living rooms, family rooms, and bedrooms. Laminate is designed to withstand everyday wear from most household activities.
