Advice by Space Type

This section guides you in choosing the ideal flooring based on your lifestyle, budget, and the intended use of each room. Practical advice to help you make an informed and long‑lasting decision.

What type of flooring is recommended for a basement?

Since basements are naturally more humid, we recommend moisture-resistant materials such as SPC or LVT vinyl flooring, ceramic tile, or floating floors with a vapor barrier. Solid hardwood is generally not recommended.

How do I choose the right flooring for my home?

To choose the right flooring, consider:

  • Your lifestyle (pets, children, traffic)
  • Room usage (humidity, heating, level)
  • Your budget
  • Desired aesthetic

An advisor can review your project and recommend the best materials.

What type of flooring is ideal for a condo?

Soundproofing is essential in condos. Recommended options include:

  • SPC or LVT vinyl (very stable and quiet)
  • Engineered wood compatible with acoustic membranes
  • Laminate with sound-reducing underlayment

What flooring options are suitable for stairs?

Several options are available depending on your style and budget: carpet, SPC vinyl, engineered wood, or solid wood treads. Each option offers different durability and aesthetics.

Can solid hardwood be installed over radiant heating?

Solid hardwood is rarely recommended over radiant heating systems because it can react to heat. Engineered wood is far more compatible and stable.

Can heated floors be installed under ceramic tile?

Absolutely. Ceramic tile is one of the most compatible materials with radiant floor heating due to its thermal conductivity.

Can I install heated flooring under my floor covering?

Yes, under several types of flooring:

  • Ceramic tile: ideal
  • Vinyl: depending on manufacturer recommendations
  • Solid/engineered wood: with precautions
  • Laminate: only certain models

Products, Trends, Maintenance & Durability

Discover our products, current trends, and practical tips for maintaining and extending the durability of your flooring. This section helps you make informed, long‑lasting choices tailored to your space and lifestyle.

What is the difference between solid hardwood and engineered wood?

Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and can be sanded multiple times. Engineered wood consists of multiple layers, making it more stable against humidity changes while offering comparable durability. Both provide a premium look.

Is engineered wood more durable than solid hardwood?

Engineered wood is not necessarily harder, but it is more stable with changes in humidity and temperature. It is an excellent choice for condos, basements, and radiant-heated floors.

Can solid hardwood be installed in a basement?

No. Solid hardwood can absorb moisture and warp. Engineered wood is a safer and more durable alternative.

Can wood flooring be sanded?

Yes. Solid hardwood and engineered wood can be sanded 1 to 2 times, depending on the thickness of the wear layer.

Are wide or narrow planks more trendy?

Wide planks are very popular due to their modern look and ability to visually enlarge rooms.

What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tile?

Ceramic is more porous and affordable, ideal for walls or low-traffic areas. Porcelain is denser, more durable, and moisture-resistant—perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and floors.

Is porcelain waterproof?

Yes. Due to its low porosity, porcelain is highly water-resistant and ideal for wet areas.

How do I maintain ceramic tile?

Clean with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Grout lines may require deeper cleaning or resealing depending on the grout type.

Is laminate flooring water-resistant?

Some water-resistant models can withstand splashes, but laminate is generally not recommended in very wet areas.

Can laminate flooring be installed in a basement?

Yes, provided moisture is properly controlled and a vapor-barrier underlayment is installed.

Does laminate flooring scratch easily?

Modern laminate floors are very durable, but furniture without pads and certain pets can cause scratches.

Is vinyl flooring resistant to water damage?

Yes. SPC and LVT vinyl are among the best choices for areas prone to moisture, such as basements or kitchens.

What is the difference between LVT and SPC?

LVT is more flexible and comfortable. SPC has a stone core, making it extremely stable, durable, and waterproof.

Are SPC/LVT floors 100% waterproof?

Yes. They are ideal for wet rooms and environments where water resistance is essential.

Is SPC flooring scratch-resistant?

Yes. It is highly resistant, though very heavy impacts can leave marks.

Do you offer commercial entrance mats?

Yes. We offer a range of commercial-grade mats for businesses, offices, and high-traffic entrances.
