Setting out to buy to design and build a new home is a very exciting adventure. There are hundreds of decisions to make, but one of the most important is deciding the type of flooring that will work best for each room. You have to consider the layout of your home as your flooring needs could differ if you have an open floorplan versus a home with many individual rooms. Add in budget considerations and your personal style and you have lots to think about!

What Type of Wood Flooring is Right for You?
The wonderful thing about wood flooring is that it has improved so much over the years. As a new homeowner, you have an array of choices at varying price points that will fit any budget. You not only have to select the type of flooring you want, but also the color, custom options and much more. That’s why working with an industry leader like E_M Flooring and Installations is so important.
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring comes in a variety of colors, styles and designs to meet your every need. You can select from unfinished, pre-finished, engineered and wide plank. It allows for customization using stain, mixing colors or even patchwork styles. There are many advantages of hardwood flooring that include:
- Timeless: Hardwood offers ageless beauty
- Durability: Great for high traffic areas
- Ability to be refinished: Can be restored to look brand new
- Allergy-Friendly: Repels most allergens
- Increased Value: Cost effective to install, yet adds long term value to your home
Laminate Flooring
Our laminate flooring is one of the most lasting and environmentally friendly floors you can buy. It’s popular with new home owners as it can simulate the look of hardwood, ceramic tile and natural stone. It’s ideal for new homes because:
- Materials and layers that are bonded together have a transparent, wear-resistant overlay
- The premium HDF core board gives solidity so that there is dent-resistance
- A balance layer gives stability to prevent bowing and collapsing
Vinyl Flooring
Need resilient flooring? Vinyl flooring is durable, low maintenance, works with most budgets and is ideal for high traffic areas. All types of vinyl flooring—sheet vinyl, vinyl tile, and luxury vinyl—are made with materials that are 100 percent waterproof. Not only is our vinyl flooring easy to lay down, but it also installs over existing, imperfect subfloors. Choose from:
- Vinyl Sheet Flooring – great for rooms that experience moisture as it won’t rot or discolor if exposed
- Vinyl Tile Flooring – individual tiles can be easily replace
- Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring – designed to genuinely look like hardwood, stone or ceramic tile
Engineered Wood Flooring
A favorite alternative to solid wood flooring. An engineered wood floor typically is composed of a top layer of a prefinished or unfinished hardwood veneer over structural plywood, birch or spruce. It’s great for any room since it can be installed on either plywood or concrete sub-floor and never goes out of style. Even better, it is compatible with radiant heating.
