Frequently asked in Durham
What is the best flooring for the money?
What is the 1 3 rule for flooring?
The '1-3 rule' for flooring often relates to subfloor assessment in Durham homes. It suggests the crew might need to account for up to three layers of existing flooring or potential subfloor issues before installing new carpet. This ensures a stable and level foundation for your new carpet.
Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?
Vinyl plank flooring is an excellent choice for moisture-prone areas in Durham homes, such as kitchens and bathrooms, due to its water resistance. Laminate can provide a more authentic wood appearance. The local specialists can help you choose based on your specific room's usage.
What type of flooring is most popular now?
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) remains a top choice in Durham for its durability and wide range of styles. Engineered hardwood is also highly popular. Many homeowners still prefer the comfort and warmth of carpet for bedrooms. The pros can show you the latest trends.
