The Most Durable Flooring Options for Long-Term Living
Shopping for flooring for your forever home isn’t easy. It’s a big decision since you’ll have to look at these floors every day for the rest of your life. However, there are several great options out there, including:
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood flooring is the gold standard for forever homes because it can outlast the home itself. Quality solid hardwood flooring can be refinished 5-7 times over its lifespan, it essentially gives you “new” floors every 10-15 years without replacement. Oak and hickory are best for Colorado Springs since they’re incredibly hard, resist denting and our dry climate reduces moisture-related issues like warping.
The upfront costs might seem intimidating. However, when you factor in refinishing potential and the multi-generational lifespan, it’s worth it. In most cases, hardwood costs less per year than cheaper alternatives you’ll have to replace multiple times.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Want the beauty of hardwood floors with even more resilience? Choose luxury vinyl plank (LVP). Modern vinyl options are waterproof, scratch-resistant and softer underfoot than hardwood or tile. The rigid core technology offers superior dent resistance and thick wear layers let your floors last for 20-30 years without refinishing.
Our Colorado Springs clients love LVP for high-traffic areas like kitchens and entryways. It takes on whatever life throws at it with ease.
Tile: Built to Last Generations
In terms of longevity, porcelain and ceramic tile flooring come out on top. With proper installation, tile flooring can last 75-100 years, making it the perfect choice for your forever home. Tile stands up to moisture, stains and scratches, won’t fade in sunlight and comes in several designs. Porcelain is denser than ceramic, which is great for high-traffic areas, while large-format tiles have fewer grout lines and are easier to maintain.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood flooring combines real hardwood beauty with enhanced stability, which is perfect for Colorado’s dry climate. The construction is more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood and these floors can be installed over concrete, allowing installation in basements. Each engineered wood plank is equipped with a real wood veneer top, but can only be refinished 1-3 times depending on the thickness.
