Composite Flooring FAQs
Can composite flooring be installed in bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, composite flooring is specifically designed for high-moisture areas. Unlike traditional hardwood, our composite flooring features a waterproof core that prevents warping, swelling, or damage from spills, steam, or humidity. The locking system creates a watertight seal between planks for complete protection.
How does composite flooring compare to traditional hardwood?
Composite flooring offers several advantages over traditional hardwood: it's more durable (resistant to scratches, dents, and moisture), easier to maintain (no need for refinishing), often more affordable, and available in a wider variety of styles and colors. While hardwood has its charm, composite flooring provides superior performance for active households.
What maintenance does composite flooring require?
Composite flooring requires minimal maintenance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, simply use a damp mop with a mild cleaner specifically formulated for composite flooring. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steam mops. The wear layer protects against stains and fading, eliminating the need for waxing or polishing.

Additional Composite Flooring FAQs
Can composite flooring be installed over existing floors?
In most cases, yes. Composite flooring can be installed over existing hardwood, concrete, tile, or vinyl floors as long as the surface is clean, dry, and level (within 3/16" over 10 feet). We recommend using our premium underlayment for optimal sound absorption and minor surface irregularities.
Is composite flooring suitable for pets?
Absolutely. Composite flooring is an excellent choice for pet owners. The scratch-resistant surface stands up to claws, while the waterproof core prevents damage from accidents. Our specially formulated wear layer also resists staining from pet-related messes.
