Frequently Asked Questions
Know What You're Getting
Understanding how your products perform in real life — in your home, with your family — is the key to making confident selection decisions. No surprises.
Flooring
From hardwood to luxury vinyl, each flooring type has distinct performance characteristics. Know what to expect before you install.
- Hardwood adds warmth but needs humidity control
- LVP is waterproof and ideal for basements
- Tile is the most durable but cold underfoot
- Carpet provides comfort and noise reduction
Insulation
Proper insulation impacts energy bills and comfort year-round. Understanding R-values helps you make the right upgrade decisions.
- Higher R-value = better thermal resistance
- Spray foam seals air infiltration completely
- Blown-in is ideal for retrofit applications
- Proper vapor barrier prevents moisture issues
Performance Ratings
Wear layers, AC ratings, and warranty terms tell the true story of a product's durability. We break it all down in plain language.
- Wear layer thickness determines scratch resistance
- AC ratings (AC1–AC5) reflect traffic durability
- Manufacturer warranty varies by install method
- Look for FloorScore or GreenGuard certification

Keep Your Selections Looking Great
The products you select are a long-term investment. Proper care protects that investment — and your manufacturer warranty.
Flooring Care
Interior Finishes
Control Humidity
Maintain indoor humidity between 35–55% year-round. Fluctuations cause wood floors and cabinetry to expand and contract, leading to gaps and warping.
Ventilate Properly
Run bathroom exhaust fans during and 15 minutes after showers. Proper ventilation prevents moisture buildup that damages floors, walls, and insulation.
Act Fast on Spills
The faster you respond to spills and moisture, the better. Most water damage to flooring occurs within the first 24–48 hours of exposure.
