Flooring Types & Materials

Welcome to the Home Floorings Pros resource section covering all the different types of flooring and flooring materials for your home remodeling project.

Each flooring material or type has an overview article which is a complete guide to the main things you need to know. We then look at other more detailed aspects of each flooring, such as hardwood species or carpet pile, to help you reach a decision about the flooring you want.

There’s also links to other parts of our site that are relevant to each type of flooring, such as brand reports, cleaning and maintenance articles, installation tips, design ideas and trends.

Click on the flooring type you’re interested in to get started on your flooring project!
