High-Traffic Flooring
Flooring Solutions
Flooring made for walking
Not all areas of a home require the same flooring solution. High-traffic spaces like entryways, hallways, staircases, and lower levels need more durable materials that can better withstand daily wear and protect the subfloor over time. Resilient flooring products—such as luxury vinyl and rigid core SPC—are designed for these demanding areas, offering enhanced resistance to scratches, stains, dents, and abrasions while still allowing for seamless, stylish transitions between flooring types.
Basements
Basements have a unique environment which includes higher levels of humidity as well as a vulnerability to water leaks and flooding. The best way to combat these potential problems is by always installing 100% waterproof flooring. It's also important to ensure that you're installing below-grade flooring, one of the benefits to our resilient products is that they can be installed on all grades, meaning you can install directly onto the existing concrete floor without needing an additional subfloor, ultimately saving time and money on installation.
Hallways, Entryways & Stairs
As one of most heavily used areas in most homes and businesses, the priority for flooring in hallways, staircases and entry ways should be durability. Not only are these spaces among the first to show signs of wear and tear, they're also prone to collecting dirt and grime, specifically with entrances. A hardwearing, easy-to-clean surface such as luxury vinyl or rigid core SPC will help simplify maintenance needs and provide optimal wear-resistance. Another thing to consider is the sound associated with frequent foot traffic, you may also want to consider a sound-reducing, accoustical flooring product to reduce the echo of footsteps.
