New flooring installation in a Loris, SC home

Your guide to choosing the best flooring


Getting new floors can be exciting, but we know it can also be overwhelming. It is, after all, a significant investment in your home, and you'll explore a lot of choices and make numerous decisions. We developed this guide to simplify the process, but, as always, feel free to come into our flooring store in Loris, SC.

Before you make your final decision

Did you assess your needs, style, and budget? Find the floors that best align with your lifestyle. Questions you should ask yourself include size and activity level of the family, whether or not you own pets, frequency of entertaining and cooking, etc.

Soft vs. hard surfaces

A soft surface, such as carpet, has countless innovations with various styles, patterns, constructions colors, functional abilities, and price points. Hardwood adds elegance and classic charm to a home with undertones, easy maintenance, longevity, and property value-adding. Other hard, soft, and resilient surfaces include tile, laminate, waterproof flooring, and vinyl (both sheet and luxury).

Know the difference between waterproof and water-resistant

When something is impervious to water, such as luxury vinyl or waterproof flooring, it is constructed entirely of waterproof materials. These products are waterproof from bottom to top, meaning they can be submerged or spilled on. When something is water-resistant, it means that it can be highly repellent, but there's still a chance that liquid will seep to the core.
