Points to keep in mind
- Finish affects upkeep. Matte finishes hide scratches better than gloss. More on hardwood flooring.
- Waterproof isn't flood-proof. Water can still get under the floor. More on luxury vinyl plank (lvp).
- Transitions and trim add up. Thresholds, stair nosing and baseboards are often priced separately. More on luxury vinyl plank (lvp).
- Grout choice affects maintenance. Some grouts resist stains better. More on tile flooring.
- Species changes hardness. Oak, hickory and maple wear differently. More on hardwood flooring.
- Dry climates cause gaps. Wood shrinks in low humidity, especially in winter. More on hardwood flooring.
