Hardwood
Solid & engineered wood
Hardwood
Real wood in two builds. Solid is one piece of wood top to bottom; engineered is a real-wood veneer over cross-layered plywood for stability.
Benefits
- Genuine wood look and feel
- Solid can be refinished many times; engineered 1–3 times
- Adds the most resale value
- Engineered handles basements & concrete slabs
Good to know: Not for standing water. Solid can’t go below grade.
Browse HardwoodLuxury Vinyl
Waterproof LVP & LVT
Luxury Vinyl
Fully synthetic PVC plank (LVP) with a photo-realistic wood or stone layer and a tough wear layer. Rigid-core versions are the most popular floor we sell.
Benefits
- 100% waterproof through the core
- Handles pets, kids and heavy traffic
- Softer and quieter underfoot
- Lowest maintenance, great value
Good to know: Won’t add resale value the way real wood does.
Browse Luxury VinylTile & Stone
Porcelain, ceramic, stone
Tile & Stone
Fired porcelain or ceramic, or natural stone. The hardest, most water-immune surface there is — and the one where install quality matters most.
Benefits
- Truly waterproof — showers, wet areas
- Extremely durable and scratch-proof
- Works with in-floor heating
- Endless looks, including wood-look plank tile
Good to know: Hard and cold underfoot; grout needs occasional care.

Benefits

Good to know: Shows wear in high-traffic lanes; not for wet areas.
Browse CarpetLaminate
High-traffic value
Laminate
A high-density fiberboard core under a photographic wood-look layer and a hard melamine wear layer. Man-made, scratch-tough, budget-friendly.
Benefits
- Very scratch- and wear-resistant
- Costs far less than real wood
- Realistic embossed wood textures
- Fast, clean installation
Good to know: Fiberboard core swells with standing water unless waterproof-rated. Can’t be refinished.
