The 1-3 rule is a general guideline for expansion gaps needed for floating floors like laminate and vinyl plank. It typically suggests leaving about 1/3 of an inch (around 8mm) of space around the perimeter of the room, including against walls and fixed objects. This allows the flooring to expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes, preventing buckling. We can advise on proper installation.

Vinyl plank often wins for water resistance, making it excellent for kitchens and basements in the Kansas City area. Laminate typically offers a more realistic wood look and can be more scratch-resistant. Both are good budget-friendly options. We can help you decide which best suits your home's needs.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) continues to be a leading choice for homeowners in Kansas City and beyond. Its versatility, durability, and wide range of styles, including realistic wood and stone looks, are major draws. Engineered hardwood is also a popular choice for those seeking a more traditional, high-end feel. Call us to discuss current trends.
