Humid climates: what’s the best flooring choice?

When you're searching for new floors and living in a humid climate, you want to consider that. There are many different floor styles that can survive a humid environment.

Some floor covering types, such as hardwood, aren't a good fit for humid climates since the humidity can cause them to warp or expand. The best floor coverings for humid climates are less porous, more durable, and moisture and humidity resistant.

What are some examples of humidity-resistant flooring

Materials such as luxury vinyl planks, porcelain tile, and concrete are all excellent examples of humidity-resistant surfaces. Since these types of new floors are durable, mold and mildew-resistant, it makes them a good fit for a humid environment.

Luxury vinyl plank is a waterproof product that has the look of hardwood. Luxury vinyl planks have multiple layers of material, one layer being polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, which is highly resistant to moisture and abrasion.

Porcelain is one of the most common types of tiles. It is made of hard clay and other natural materials combined and exposed to high temperatures to create a durable and highly water-resistant tile.

When you think about concrete from any flooring company, you probably think of an unfinished basement floor. Still, concrete can be customized by applying dye to the concrete before pouring or adding a stain afterward. Concrete floors are super durable, stain-proof, waterproof, and even fire-resistant, making it a good choice for a humid environment.
