Most country homes end up with a mix: tile or LVP in the mudroom and kitchen, wood or LVP in living areas, and carpet removed from bedrooms. We plan the transitions so the house reads as one floor, not a patchwork.
What works in a damp basement in Canterbury
Below grade we recommend rigid-core LVP or tile, never solid hardwood and rarely laminate. We moisture-test the slab first, because the floor is only as good as what is under it.
Laminate flooring in Canterbury
Laminate works in dry rooms of Canterbury homes, like bedrooms, living rooms and upstairs spaces. Its core is wood fiber, so in basements, lake houses that sit closed up, and full bathrooms we recommend rigid-core LVP instead. If you love the look of laminate, a waterproof-rated laminate can work in some kitchens. See laminate installation, LVP vs. laminate and is laminate waterproof?
