Flooring Buying Guide: Common Questions
What’s the best flooring for a Calgary basement?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is generally the top choice for Calgary basements, it’s waterproof, comfortable underfoot, and stable in temperature swings. Engineered hardwood and laminate can also work depending on moisture conditions and subfloor prep.
What’s the difference between hardwood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP)?
Is laminate or LVP better?
What flooring is best for pets?
What flooring is best for homes with kids?
How do I choose flooring for stairs?
How long does hardwood flooring last?
With proper care, solid hardwood flooring can last generations and can typically be refinished multiple times to restore its appearance.
Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof?
Most LVP products are fully waterproof at the plank level, which is why it’s a popular choice for basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.
How do I know how much flooring I need?
Measure the length and width of each room to calculate square footage, then add roughly 10% extra for cuts and waste. For accuracy, a professional in-home measurement is recommended.
What flooring adds the most resale value to a home?
Hardwood flooring is consistently associated with strong resale appeal, particularly in main living areas, though high-quality LVP has become increasingly attractive to buyers for its durability and low maintenance.
How do I maintain hardwood floors?
Sweep or vacuum regularly, wipe up spills promptly, use furniture pads to prevent scratches, and avoid excess water when cleaning. Periodic professional refinishing can restore worn hardwood to like-new condition.
Can flooring be installed over existing flooring?
In some cases, yes, depending on the existing surface and the new product being installed. A professional assessment during your estimate will determine whether removal or subfloor prep is needed first.
