What’s the Best Flooring for Your New Plano Area Home?

Because temperatures ranging between 30 and 105 degrees and high humidity are both factors for North Texas homes, there are a few clear choices for the best flooring materials.

These are:

  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP): Durable, waterproof, and doesn’t warp or expand in the Texas heat and humidity
  • Tile: Resistant to moisture and mold in the humid environment, naturally cool underfoot
  • Engineered hardwood: More resistant to humidity than solid hardwood and less likely to warp in the North Texas climate
  • Solid hardwood: Most susceptible to humidity, so it must be installed with the proper moisture barriers and requires slab moisture testing. We are experts in doing this correctly, so you have beautiful wood floors for decades.

No matter what you choose, you’ll be able to blend luxury and durability throughout your new home. It’s also easy to find styles you love among these incredibly versatile options, so you never have to sacrifice looks for function.

Popular Texas Design Trends

When you’re designing your new home build, flooring material is just the first question. You’ll also need to figure out what color and style you want your floors to be! While there’s no one right answer, most popular flooring color in new homes in Texas include:

  • Warm, neutral tones for a cozy and welcoming feel that matches many Texas interior designs
  • Brunette tones for an elegant, timeless vibe that never goes out of style
  • Greige (a blend of gray and beige) tones that allow for the most flexibility with your décor choices

Whether you’re looking for something that fits your personal style or you want to go for the widest appeal for future resale value, your Design Associate will match you with the right option.
