What is the Best Flooring for Children?

There are a lot of boxes to check when it comes to finding the best flooring for kids. Your floor not only needs to be easy to care for and able to handle the daily deluge of spilled food, messy shoes, and crafts gone awry, but also needs to be safe and hypoallergenic. We carry an excellent range of family-friendly options for every taste, budget, and space, including top choices like carpet, luxury vinyl, and hardwood. No matter what type of surface you choose for your home, we have stylish products that are both beautiful and kid-friendly – so there’s no need to sacrifice aesthetics for function.

Carpet

Carpet is a soft, cozy, and warm kid-friendly flooring

choice. It offers more protection in a fall than hard-surface

floors, and it provides extra noise-absorption to promote a

quiet and calm environment to live and thrive in. We have

stain-resistant and even waterproof carpets that are easy

to clean and care for. We also have carpet tiles, which are

excellent for playrooms because each carpet square can

easily be replaced if it’s stained or damaged. Additionally,

both our wool and waterproof collections are

hypoallergenic as they inhibit the growth of allergens and

mildew.

Luxury Vinyl

Our luxury vinyl products gorgeously replicate the appearance of natural wood flooring, tile, and stone without the cost and upkeep. We offer both moisture-resistant and completely waterproof LV selections that are ultra stain-resistant and easy to care for. Luxury vinyl surfaces are inherently hypoallergenic, and we carry low VOC emitting products. You can also choose options that have a cushioned core or antimicrobial cork underlayment, which adds noise control, softness underfoot, and warmth.

Hardwood

Many families love the look of real hardwood in their

homes, but worry about stains, moisture-damage, and

daily wear and tear ruining their investment. We offer

several innovative, genuine hardwood products that are

perfect for active families with children and pets. This

includes our Hydrotek waterproof hardwood collection,

which features premium cuts of maple, hickory, oak,

walnut, and more, overlaying a waterproof vinyl sublayer.

We also have engineered hardwood, which is made from

laminated layers of 100% natural wood throughout. The

layered construction creates structural stability

and resists warping when exposed to humidity and spills – and you

can choose a stain-fighting, water-repellent finish on top.
