Floors that suit an antique home in Sturbridge
Owners of older Sturbridge homes often want real wood. Engineered hardwood with a wide plank gives the look with more stability through New England seasons. Where the original floor can be saved, refinishing may beat replacing it, and we will say so at the walkthrough.
Floors that handle lake humidity in Sturbridge
Solid hardwood and most laminate struggle in lake houses that sit closed up. Rigid-core LVP and porcelain tile are the safe choices. Engineered wood can work in a heated, year-round home with humidity control.
Laminate flooring in Sturbridge
Laminate works in dry rooms of Sturbridge 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?
