Traditional Floor Q&A

What is the best traditional dining room flooring?

The best traditional dining room flooring will create a warm and welcoming space for family members to gather and share a meal. Many different kinds of flooring materials work nicely for traditional dining room floors, including cork laminate, LVT planks, engineered hardwood, vinyl, and PVC plastic.

What is the difference between SPC, engineered, and solid wood flooring?

The differences among SPC, engineered hardwood, and solid wood floors involve the materials in use. SPC is a type of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) that has a rigid inner core consisting of limestone, PVC, and other stabilizing layers. Engineered hardwood uses a hardwood veneer over the top of MDF or plywood cores. Solid wood floors consist of nothing but a single piece of hardwood.

What is the difference between SPC, LVP, and EVP flooring?

The primary differences among SPC, LVP, and EVP flooring involve the core layers used in each type of traditional flooring. LVP and SPC both use a core consisting of PVC and limestone. EVP uses a rigid stone-based core. The cores aim to improve the stability of the flooring. All three of them use a top layer that consists of vinyl.

What is LVT (luxury vinyl tile) flooring?

LVT flooring is a tile that consists primarily of PVC vinyl, but it uses multiple layers inside the core to improve stability and durability. LVT can have a printed design in the top layer that resembles hardwood or ceramic tiles, but it weighs less and is easier to install than the real thing.

What is cork flooring, and how thick is it?

Cork flooring consists of the bark of cork trees. The cork bark is renewable, as harvesting the bark does not harm the tree. Cork floors typically measure about 1/2 of an inch in thickness, although cork underlayment can be as thin as 3 mm (about 1/8 of an inch).
