Meanwhile, here’s a guide as to the different surfaces.
Hardwood is a hard surface floor
Some hard surfaces floors are often referred to as "resilient," meaning that they "spring back" and are flexible, such as vinyl.
Hardwood, whether solid or engineered, adds a rich, classic, elegance. Tile is a design tool, because of the number of colors, patterns, designs, and styles that can be combined.
Stone adds architectural interest, whether it's marble, granite, limestone, slate, or travertine. Laminate might be a budget material, but micro bevels, deeper texturing, and clearer images have brought it a lot closer to the cache enjoyed by solid and engineered hardwood.
Vinyl sheet and luxury vinyl check all the boxes when it comes to aesthetics, performance, and affordability. Luxury vinyl, in particular, is an amazingly realistic mimic of natural materials such as wood, tile, or stone. These products, too, have deeper texturing, embossing, and images taken with 3D photography.
Carpet: soft surface and style
