How to choose new flooring for your home

When picking the floors for any space in your home, consider who will be using the room, how often it will be used, and what it will be used for. The amount of moisture in the space, if any, should also be considered. The most formidable brands are designed for active families and households that include pets. You can find the perfect floors at After Eight Interiors, a flooring store in Calgary, Alberta. We've been serving the Calgary area since 1993.

Flooring lifespan

If you want a "once and done" floor, you can't beat hardwood floors and natural stone or porcelain tile. All three can last a lifetime. Ceramic tile and the best luxury vinyl flooring, which has a thick wear layer to protect the wood, stone, or ceramic image layer, can last many decades.

Pet-friendly flooring

Armstrong's Vivero collection features Diamond 10 Technology, or infused cultured diamonds, to create a highly scratch and stain-resistant surface. Luxury vinyl floors are also pet-friendly. All flooring materials, even carpeting, are available in durable, pet-friendly brands.

Water-resistant & waterproof flooring

Porcelain tile is naturally waterproof, while ceramic tile is waterproof when it is glazed. Most natural stone floors must be sealed and then resealed periodically. Luxury vinyl flooring, which even tolerates standing water, is very dependable. Some laminate floors are waterproof.
