Flooring Types Can Help Retain Heat During Calgary’s Frigid Winters

How Specific Flooring Types Can Help Retain Heat During Calgary’s Frigid Winters

Winter can be harsh on our homes. From heavy snow affecting our roofs and foundations to the challenges of fluctuating temperatures, it’s crucial to be prepared. Even if you’re not in an area with severe winter conditions, keeping your home warm is essential to prevent issues like damaged flooring and frozen pipes.

When it comes to flooring, it’s essential to select a material that can handle the cold and temperature shifts. In this blog, Deerfoot Carpet, your top choice for flooring stores in Calgary, will delve into the best flooring options for winter.

Vinyl Plank & Tile Flooring

Vinyl plank flooring is an excellent choice for winter, mainly when used with a quality underlayment. Many vinyl options have an integrated pad for added warmth and sound absorption, eliminating the need for separate underlayment. They mimic hardwood’s look while offering warmth and easy maintenance, with many being water-resistant or waterproof.

For those in Calgary, it’s worth checking out vinyl plank options in Flooring Stores, especially for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is a prime choice for winter, particularly in regions experiencing significant temperature fluctuations. Like vinyl plank, many laminate options come with a built-in pad for enhanced warmth, removing the need for separate underlayment.

But its benefits extend beyond just warmth. Laminate is durable against scratches, easy on the wallet, and can be laid over various subfloors.

Furthermore, it’s a top pick for households with asthma or respiratory concerns, as it minimizes dust and other irritants. With a wide range of textures, thicknesses, and colours available at our Calgary flooring store, laminate ensures both functionality and style for your home.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood flooring stands out as one of the warmest options available, making it a top choice for those shopping at Flooring Stores in Calgary. Unlike its solid hardwood counterpart, engineered hardwood is more resilient in fluctuating humidity, eliminating common problems like buckling or cupping. This is due to its multi-layered construction, allowing it to perform well even in frigid climates and temperatures.

At Deerfoot Carpet and Flooring, we supply engineered hardwood flooring in Calgary from the following quality brands:

Cork Flooring

Cork flooring is an ideal choice for winter due to its natural thermal insulation properties, ensuring rooms stay warmer. Its honeycomb structure offers a warm and soft surface underfoot, making it comfortable during cold months. Additionally, cork’s moisture-resistant qualities prevent mould and mildew, and its eco-friendly nature makes it a sustainable option.

Stay Warm and Comfy This Winter: Choose Deerfoot Carpet

Your flooring choice can be pivotal in how warm your home feels during Calgary’s icy winters. By selecting the suitable material and using some additional warming techniques, homeowners can create a cozy environment, even when the outside world is frozen.
