Student rentals need floors that clean fast and repair cheaply. Most owners settle on rigid-core LVP throughout, with tile in bathrooms.
Choosing a floor for a mill-era house in Windham
Uneven, settled floors favor products that bridge small flaws: rigid-core LVP or engineered wood over a leveled subfloor. Tile can work in a bathroom but needs a stiff, flat base, which in an older house often means extra blocking or a membrane.
Picking floors for rental units in Windham
Durability and easy repair matter more than anything in a rental. LVP is the usual pick, with tile in baths.
Laminate flooring in Windham
Laminate is a good value in Windham bedrooms, living rooms and upstairs spaces that stay dry. It has a harder top layer than most LVP, so it handles chairs, toys and dog nails well, and it often costs a bit less. Look for an AC3 rating for most homes and AC4 for busy households.
