At TipTop Flooring, we don't sell hardwood flooring. Our business is installing, refinishing and repairing hardwood floors. That's why we can give you straight talk about why the lowest priced flooring may not be your best choice
Often people select the cheapest floor available. That's usually not a great bargain even if you can save few cents per square foot. We know it's tempting to spend a little less on your flooring. But often that's a bad choice in the long run. Here's why that's true for different types of flooring
The lowest priced laminate floors sacrifice support to get a lower price. The result is that your flooring can actually break under the challenges of use. We suggest that you choose laminate flooring that's at least 10 mm with a foam backing.
The lowest priced engineered flooring use less layers of wood and often have a thin top layer which prevents sanding and refinishing later. We suggest that you select engineered flooring with multiple layers bonded together in a crisscross pattern to keep the floor more stable and a top hardwood layer that's at least 3 mm thick
Always check the supplier reliability. The lowest priced solid wood flooring uses fewer manufacturing steps to lower costs that subsequently has a negative impact on quality. In most of the cases the cheap solid floors have milling problems, due to this fact the boards expand and contract at different rates creating big gaps between them.
