Straight answers about floors in this climate
Concrete slabs, high humidity, seasonal homes, and storms make Florida different. Here’s how we build floors that last here.
Can you install hardwood floors on a concrete slab in Florida?
Yes — in Florida, hardwood is installed on a concrete slab by using engineered hardwood glued down over a tested, moisture-controlled slab, not solid ¾" wood.
Read the answer →Should I choose solid or engineered hardwood in Florida?
In Florida, engineered hardwood is usually the right choice because its layered core stays stable over concrete slabs and through high humidity, where solid hardwood tends to cup and gap.
Read the answer →What happens to hardwood floors in a seasonal home left empty in Florida?
A hardwood floor in a seasonal Florida home can cup, gap, or move if the house is closed up without humidity control, so leave the air conditioning or a dehumidifier running while you’re away.
Read the answer →Hardwood or luxury vinyl (LVP) — which is better in the Florida climate?
In the Florida climate, engineered hardwood offers real-wood beauty and long-term value, while luxury vinyl (LVP) offers full waterproofing — the right choice depends on whether the space sees standing water or heavy rental use.
