The differences between Hardwood, Vinyl, and Laminate.

When shopping for new flooring, you will find roughly three different types of flooring to choose from Hardwood, Vinyl, and Laminate. Let’s talk about the differences between the three, so you have a better understanding of what you need in your home.

Hardwood: Since natural wood is being used, the lifespan of hardwood flooring is longer than most vinyl and laminate, but a lot of maintenance is needed to keep the longevity. It has a higher price per sqft than it is for any other type, but it has a higher resell value. And, of course, no other kind of floor can beat the beauty of natural hardwood.

Vinyl: There are so many kinds of vinyl you can get, such as wood, tile, and marble visuals. For a lower price and easier to install, you can get wood-looking floors without the high maintenance. But unlike hardwood, you cannot repair a broken vinyl; you must replace it, and it could have a shorter lifespan if not properly cared for. It is still a lower price than hardwood as this flooring is mainly sold as waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about water stains. 

Laminate: If looking for a cheaper option but still want to keep the beauty of wood visuals, then laminate could be a suitable choice. Laminate is more resistant to scratches and stains but is not as waterproof like vinyl flooring. If you look at laminate in your kitchen, you will need to keep spills to a minimum as standing water or strong humidity cause damage. Like vinyl, you can only replace damaged or broken flooring, unlike hardwood that can be refinished or repaired.

Reviews From Our Customers!

I ordered around 1000sqft of flooring and everything went smooth. I ordered on a Friday afternoon, they shipped out my order on Monday as promised and I got a call from the freight company for delivery on Wednesday.- Jim

Expedited shipping is available if you call and place your order. I did this shortly after their posted cut-off time for same day shipping, but they still managed to get my order out the same day and I was able to have my materials the next day and continue with my project as planned. Lots of materials in stock, fair prices, quick to ship, and great customer service! I've placed several more orders since then and will continue to be a repeat customer. Thanks!-Derek

Flooring Market brought a "WOW" experience to me. I ordered flooring to them and got it delivered quicker than I imagined. I followed up with some additional items. This is where things get tricky. There was a problem with my order and 1 month later it still hadn't been shipped. This proved to be no problem at all for the great folks there. I must've called and/or emailed a dozen times and each time I was met with stellar customer service. The problem was rectified quickly and just in time to get my floor installed. It is a beautiful finished product. Needless to say, they have won my business for the future.-Malaquias

Customer service was excellent. I made a phone call order and it was a breeze. The customer service agent was very knowledgeable
and helped tremendously with my order. Will use again.-Steven

Carpet Rippling

A couple of things that can cause carpet rippling is improper installation, low quality or improper padding, delamination, and water. Carpet can ripple if there is too much moisture in the air or the floor itself. The rug that has been exposed to much water is susceptible to stretching.

Vinyl and Humidity

Luxury Vinyl does not absorb moisture. This makes luxury vinyl the number one choice for high moisture homes and areas. Many people will install luxury vinyl in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements because of its ability to withstand moisture.
