Winter flooring

During winter, especially in the North, the weather can be brutal. Ice, snow, and freezing temperatures are constant and we spend a lot of time indoors. At Floors for Less, we have some great flooring options for your home during the winter. 

 

Vinyl Flooring 

Luxury vinyl flooring is beautiful flooring that mimics gorgeous stone and wood designs or even tile. Luxury vinyl is excellent because of a coating protective layer that is stain resistant, easy to clean, and highly durable. Each plank is highly durable and has thick layers that can handle foot traffic. This feature comes in handy during winter when it is cold because it helps with insulation. Due to it's great price and durability luxury vinyl planking is an excellent choice for winter flooring. 

 

Laminate 

As a cost-friendly choice for winter flooring, laminate is also another great pick. Laminate has many textures, designs, colors, and many options to choose from. With any kind of flooring, you can add extra layers of padding which helps with insulation and warmth. Laminate is highly durable, easy to clean, and very affordable. Laminate flooring can come in handy with harsh winter conditions and wear and tear protection as well. Laminate is a clear candidate as a top choice for winter flooring. 

 

Carpet 

Carpet is a comfortable, durable, and warm winter flooring choice. Compared to other flooring types, carpet has high heat insulation based on the type of carpet you choose. When selecting carpet, the thicker the carpet fibers the higher heat insulation the carpet has. It is also another great choice because of its comfort and quietness. It has a soft, shock-absorbing quality and makes your room feel more relaxed as sound creates a quiet atmosphere. Carpet is a great cozy choice for one of the best winter floors! 

 

Engineered Hardwood Flooring 

Compared to the other flooring, engineered hardwood flooring is also a great choice. Multiple layers that can withstand cold temperatures are what make this flooring a great choice. It is a beautiful, strong type of flooring that is a great winter option due to its durability and long-lasting nature. Engineered hardwood is an excellent choice for winter flooring.
