Frequently asked in Durham

What is the best flooring for the money in Durham?

For value in Durham, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is a strong contender due to its durability and water resistance. Engineered hardwood also offers a real wood look with better stability in varying humidity. The pros can help you weigh the long-term benefits and costs for your specific home.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule for flooring is a standard installation guideline. It recommends leaving approximately a quarter-inch expansion gap for every foot of flooring width around the room's perimeter. This allows the material to naturally expand and contract with environmental changes, preventing damage. Professionals ensure this is applied correctly.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank flooring generally offers superior water resistance and is quieter underfoot compared to laminate. Laminate can be a more budget-friendly option and still provide a realistic wood appearance. For Durham homes, the pros can help you choose based on your room's usage and moisture levels.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is currently a top choice for its resilience, water resistance, and realistic aesthetics. Hardwood flooring remains a timeless favorite for its elegance and ability to increase property value. Engineered hardwood is also popular for its stability and genuine wood surface.
