Kansas homeowners face unique weather conditions that influence flooring performance. From humid summers to cold winters, flooring must handle expansion, contraction, moisture, and heavy foot traffic. Here’s how to choose the right flooring for Kansas conditions.
- Consider Seasonal Humidity
Kansas humidity can cause hardwood to expand and contract. Engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank (LVP) offer better stability. - High-Traffic Flooring Needs
Families with active lifestyles, pets, or children benefit from durable flooring like LVP, laminate, tile, or stain-resistant carpet. - Basement Flooring Choices
Basements often face moisture issues. Waterproof LVP, tile, sealed concrete, or engineered wood are the most suitable choices. - Carpet for Warmth in Winter
Carpet provides warmth during Kansas winters and is ideal for bedrooms and family spaces. - Moisture-Resistant Options for Entryways
Entryways see wet shoes, snow, and mud. Porcelain tile and LVP are ideal here. The Tile Council of North America (https://www.tcnatile.com/) provides insights into proper tile selection.
