When selecting a flooring material, many considerations must be made including cost, durability, ease of maintenance and overall aesthetic appeal. These factors must all be taken into account to select a material with which you are satisfied with. Solid hardwood floors add classic charm and value to any home, yet are more expensive and challenging to install than vinyl, laminate or tile flooring options. Furthermore, solid wood is known to be warmer and insulating compared with most materials & can even absorb sound if necessary. Other considerations for flooring installation and choice are related to flexibility or rigidity of installation methods and material types available for purchase. Popular examples are herringbone & Parquet Flooring patterns which have been popular in different eras but never really go out of fashion, available in an array of materials that include peel & stick laminate or luxury vinyl tiles that make installation even simpler.

Both solid wood and engineered parquet floors can be stained or painted to achieve your desired look, using Osmo Polyx Oil finishing materials for authentic results and to protect your investment. While solid wood floors are highly durable and stand up well under heavy loads, they do not tolerate excess moisture or fluctuating temperatures well, leading to expansion/contraction and, potentially, gaps or cups or bows on boards that expand and contract over time resulting in unsightly gaps and even boards becoming cupped or bowed over time. Engineered Wood Flooring & SPC however are designed with cross-grain layers which allows it to more readily adjust with changing humidity/temperature fluctuations without expanding/contracting as much, making them suitable for more varied conditions than its solid counterpart.

Laminate flooring has become an extremely popular choice among many homeowners due to its range of designs, colours and styles that replicate the look of real wood or stone. Comprised of multiple layers mainly composed of compressed wood fibre core material topped with photographic image layering & sealed with protective covering - laminate allows manufacturers to produce an array of colors & textures while being easy to install with its click together floating system.
 

Like engineered wood, SPC and laminate are not recommended for outdoor use but can be installed into sunrooms & greenhouses when protected with curtains or blinds to reduce direct sunlight exposure which could cause them to fade over time. Both waterproof & easy to maintain but will need regular care & attention for optimal lifespans.

LVT Flooring as it is more commonly known, is an increasingly popular alternative to natural flooring like hardwood and tile. Comprised of multiple layers & with exquisite wood-looks or stone-looks available that many find irresistible, it also includes wear layers designed to protect from damage & stains as well as being hardwearing, resilient & easier on feet & joints than standing directly on these materials.

SPC flooring is an excellent option for those seeking a durable and waterproof alternative to vinyl or hardwood. These qualities also make SPC an excellent option for commercial spaces that experience heavy foot traffic or moisture exposure, with simple installation requirements and limited maintenance needs that fit within any budget.
