To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions about carpet, tile, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), laminate flooring, and hardwood.

Q: What are the advantages of installing luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring in my kitchen?
A: LVP offers many benefits for kitchens. It is highly durable and can withstand spills, stains, and heavy foot traffic. LVP is also water-resistant, making it ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms. It is easy to maintain—simply clean with a damp mop or cloth. Additionally, LVP comes in a wide variety of styles and designs, allowing you to achieve the look you want for your kitchen.

Q: What are the most durable types of flooring for high-traffic areas in my home?
A: For high-traffic areas, durability and resistance to wear are key. Laminate flooring is scratch-resistant and maintains its appearance over time. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain. Engineered hardwood offers a natural look while being more resistant to moisture and temperature changes than solid hardwood. Porcelain tile is also highly durable and excellent for areas prone to spills and moisture.

Q: What are the benefits of choosing laminate flooring for my home?
A: Laminate flooring is durable, scratch- and stain-resistant, and perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms. It is easy to clean and requires no special maintenance. Laminate also comes in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes, giving you the look you want without the high cost of hardwood or tile.

Q: What are the advantages of carpet flooring for my living room?
A: Carpet provides a soft and comfortable surface, ideal for lounging and relaxing. It comes in many colors, styles, and textures, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Carpet also absorbs sound, reducing noise, and acts as an insulator, helping keep your living room warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Q: Does Georgia Floors Direct have carpet in stock?
A: Yes! Georgia Floors Direct has the largest in-stock carpet inventory in Savannah.

Q: What are the best types of tile flooring for a bathroom?
A: Porcelain tile is durable, water-resistant, and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice. It comes in many colors, patterns, and sizes for a customized look. Ceramic tile is also durable and water-resistant but typically more budget-friendly. Natural stone tile, such as marble or granite, adds luxury but may require more upkeep.

Q: What are the benefits of choosing hardwood flooring for my home?
A: Hardwood adds timeless elegance to any room and enhances your home’s aesthetic appeal. It is durable and suitable for high-traffic areas. Hardwood can be refinished multiple times to refresh its appearance, and it is easy to clean and maintain.

Q: What types of hardwood flooring are available?
A: Hardwood comes in several types:

  • Solid hardwood: Made from a single piece of wood, available in species like oak, maple, and cherry.

  • Engineered hardwood: Multiple layers of wood bonded together for increased stability and moisture resistance.

  • Reclaimed hardwood: Made from recycled wood, offering a rustic, unique look.
