Choosing the Right Flooring and Finish

When it comes to choosing the right flooring product for your home, start by considering the specific needs of your household. For example, if you want an elegant and natural look, hardwood floors are an excellent option, but if durability and cost-effectiveness are more important to you, vinyl plank flooring is a better choice. Once you evaluate your family’s lifestyle and determine the level of wear and tear the floor will experience, it’ll be easier to make an informed decision.



In addition to the type of flooring you install, pay attention to the finish you apply. Water-based finishes are preferable as they cure faster than oil-based alternatives (typically in three days). In general, you should choose your finish based on how the floor will be used. For areas that require more traction and slip resistance, go with a matte finish. On the other hand, if you’d prefer a floor that’s easier to clean and maintain, a high-gloss finish is a practical option.
