What Are The Most Durable Flooring Options for Homeowners?
When it comes time to select a type of hard flooring, it can seem like you have a dizzying array of choices to consider. Hardwood? Vinyl plank? Sheet vinyl? Tile? If tile, do you want porcelain, ceramic, stone?
Each has their own attributes, their own look and feel. The type you choose might depend on the amount of money you plan to spend, where the flooring will be used, and how it will coordinate with the space’s design elements.
One factor you’ll especially want to consider is durability. Flooring that will be placed in higher-traffic areas, such as entryways, hallways and kitchens, will need to be more durable than in lesser-traveled areas, such as bedrooms and dining rooms.
Here are five of the most durable flooring options for homeowners:
VINYL PLANK
One of our most popular durable flooring options, with both our residential and commercial customers, is vinyl plank flooring. It features a top protective layer that provides a scratch-and-scuff-proof surface that does not easily stain, chip or dent. It can give the look of real hardwood or tile, coming in a wide variety of colors, styles and textures, at a lower cost.
It's so durable that it has a life expectancy of 25 to 30 years, and it’s simple to install.
VINYL SHEET
Though less durable than a vinyl plank, vinyl sheet flooring is also a great choice for homeowners seeking a durable option. Its resistance to moisture and lack of any gaps makes it especially popular to use in kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms. Vinyl sheet comes in 12-foot rolls that we are happy to cut to size, meaning you’ll have few or no seams.
HARDWOOD
Hardwood flooring is naturally gorgeous, elegant, warm and inviting — and also structurally durable, meaning it won’t break easily. But it might not be the best choice for high-traffic areas because it can show dents and scratches.
TILE
Whether it's porcelain, ceramic or stone, tile is durable if it's installed correctly and of course is beautiful. There is a slight risk that tile can break if you drop a heavy object on it. Our flooring experts can guide you to our most durable tile options to suit your room and your needs.
