Flooring is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your home. However, floor installation is not a one-size-fits-all project—each area has its own specific requirements. With this in mind, you can rest assured that our team at Diamond Wood Floors & Development knows the intricacies involved with floor installation and will complete your flooring project successfully each and every time.

Floor Installation: What We Consider When it Comes to Your Home

Here are a few things we consider when it comes to floor installation at your home.

  1. Basements: Basements are susceptible to moisture and temperature variations. This makes waterproof or water-resistant materials such as vinyl planks, ceramic tile, and engineered wood a smart choice. Before installation, we test for moisture and, if necessary, install a vapor barrier. Subfloor leveling is also necessary to avoid warping and cracking.
  2. Bathrooms: Bathrooms require materials that can withstand prolonged exposure to water. Porcelain or ceramic tiles are both popular choices since they are water resistant, durable, and easy to maintain. Another good option is luxury vinyl tile (LVT), which has a softer feel underfoot yet can withstand spills. To prevent mold, we make sure to seal the edges and use a moisture-resistant underlayment.
  3. Bedrooms: Comfort and warmth are top objectives in bedrooms. Popular flooring types include hardwood, carpet, and laminate. Hardwood provides a timeless look, while carpet adds warmth and sound absorption. If laminate is your choice, we can help you find options with built-in padding for enhanced comfort.
  4. Kitchens: Kitchens see a lot of foot traffic, spills, and dropped utensils. Tile, vinyl, and engineered hardwood are all good options because they are long-lasting and easy to maintain. We also encourage our customers to consider slip resistance and comfort when choosing the right kitchen flooring for their home.
