Traditional Flooring FAQ

What type of flooring is best for kids?

Luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring is ideal for homes with kids, as it’s durable, resistant to scratches and dents, and easy to clean. Hybrid flooring is another great option, as it’s designed for everyday living and equally as durable. Plus, it’s easy to maintain and will last for many years to come.

How do you childproof a floor?

Besides having child friendly flooring installed, the best way to childproof a floor is to ensure it’s free of slip and trip hazards. You can also install non-slip mats to prevent falls in wet areas. Cleaning regularly is also important as dirt, dust and allergens could otherwise build up.

Is vinyl flooring safe for kids?

Vinyl flooring is safe for kids, as its smooth and low-maintenance surface makes it easy to keep your home hygienic. It’s also softer than materials like concrete or tile, making it ideal for young children who are prone to accidents.
