Newer houses in the Texas region are coming with modern flooring options. Flooring solutions today tackle Texas’s weather challenges head-on. Your flooring choices should match each room’s needs. The right material makes a difference.
Popular Flooring Types in Texas Homes
Texas homeowners just need flooring solutions that work well and look good. People pick three main types of flooring when they renovate their homes.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is a popular choice for Texans. This flooring choice has multiple protective layers with a composite core, design layer, and wear layer. These layers work together to fight off scratches and dents. Vinyl flooring is topically water resistant for limited periods of time. Today’s LVP looks quite realistic with its wood-like patterns. The oversized planks make rooms feel bigger and more open. These floors are super easy to maintain too. A quick sweep and occasional mop will keep them looking great. It is strongly recommended that before committing to a vinyl product, homeowners and contractors read carefully all installation and warranty specs for the specific product being considered.
Modern Tile Options
Porcelain and ceramic tiles work great in Texas. They’re waterproof and resist scratches, so they stay pretty for a longer time. The tiles’ natural insulation keeps feet cool during hot Texas summers. You’ll find tiles in all sorts of styles, countless colors, textures and shapes. Tiles can last for decades, which makes them worth every penny in busy areas. If grout is a concern, consider upgrading to the popular epoxy type grouts which are highly durable and typically much easier to clean and maintain than traditional cementitious grouts (however, stick with the cementitious type for outdoor applications.) Sweep, mop, vacuum, live!
Hardwood Floor Features
Engineered hardwood brings a touch of class and welcoming warmth to Texas homes with its layered design. The real hardwood veneer sits on top of plywood or high-density fiberboard layers, which allows a degree of flexibility should a home experience minor movement. Engineered hardwood also has fewer slab specific requirements than a solid hardwood product, making it an excellent option for either new construction or remodel projects. A simple sweep with a microfiber mop and an occasional spot clean or light damp mop and cleaning is done.

Choosing Floors for Different Rooms
You’ll want to think about the right flooring for each room based on how you use the space every day. Let’s look at the best options for different areas of your Texas home.
Kitchen and Bathroom Solutions
Your kitchen and bathroom just need flooring that can handle water exposure and regular cleaning. Porcelain tiles work great in these spaces and have good moisture resistance. These tiles look good even with heavy foot traffic and daily cleaning.
Engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring are also options for these areas, although they are much less water tolerant than tile. You should clean spills right away and keep moisture exposure low.
Living Areas and Bedrooms
Living spaces and bedrooms give you more options since they don’t face as much moisture. Carpet remains popular in bedrooms because it’s sound absorbent, as well as soft and cozy under bare feet. Engineered hardwood is a classic, beautiful look in living spaces and bedrooms. The multi-layered construction helps prevent warping which matters a lot in Texas’s climate. Luxury vinyl planks are a modern alternative if you want hardwood’s look without the upkeep. These planks resist scratches and stains and perform well under foot traffic.
Again, it’s important to read and understand installation and warranty specifics of the actual product you are considering, and always take into consideration how you live on your floors, because often what you may “want” is not actually the ideal product for your lifestyle and home. We’re happy to talk with you and help you navigate those questions to make what we hope is the best long term selection for you and your family.

We look at everything from subfloor conditions to room transitions – all of which should be taken into consideration during the selection process.
