The 1-3 rule is a common guideline for expansion gaps when installing 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 gap allows the flooring to expand and contract with humidity and temperature changes, preventing buckling. We can provide expert advice.

Vinyl plank is generally superior for water resistance, making it ideal for Miami's humid climate, kitchens, and bathrooms. Laminate often provides a more realistic wood texture and can be more scratch-resistant but is less suited for high-moisture areas. We can help you choose the best option for your home.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) remains extremely popular in Miami for its durability, water resistance, and wide array of styles that mimic wood and stone. Porcelain tile is also a perennial favorite for its resilience and aesthetic appeal in warmer climates. Call us to explore current trends.
