Floors that handle lake humidity in Union
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.
Floors for working country homes in Union
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.
Laminate flooring in Union
Laminate works in dry rooms of Union 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?
