Hardwood, engineered wood, tile, luxury vinyl plank, laminate and carpet compared for look, comfort and durability.
Flooring is one of the largest design and budget decisions in a home. Solid hardwood is classic and can be refinished. Engineered wood offers stability in more conditions. Tile is durable and good for wet areas. Luxury vinyl plank is water-resistant and comfortable underfoot. Laminate offers a wood look at a lower cost, and carpet adds warmth and quiet to bedrooms and media rooms.
The best floor depends on the room, the household and the subfloor. Kitchens and baths need moisture resistance, basements need stability, and bedrooms may call for softness. Pets, children and sun exposure matter too. In Nashville, where humidity changes with the seasons, acclimating wood and preparing subfloors correctly is essential. We compare samples with you in your light and plan layouts and transitions that make the whole house feel connected.
