Install hardwood flooring in living areas and luxury vinyl plank flooring in high-moisture and high-traffic zones.
Background
The Williams family recently moved into a newly built modern home in Sacramento. While the layout was open and spacious, the builder-grade flooring felt generic and impractical for their lifestyle. With two young children and a dog, they needed floors that could handle spills, heavy foot traffic, and constant movement without sacrificing aesthetics.
They loved the warmth of hardwood but were concerned about moisture and wear in areas like the kitchen, entryway, and laundry room. After researching flooring options, they contacted Skyline Flooring to design a solution that blended natural beauty with everyday durability.
Challenges of Mixed Flooring Projects
Installing multiple flooring types within one home introduces specific challenges:
Height Differences: Hardwood and luxury vinyl often have different thicknesses.
Visual Consistency: Mismatched colors or grain patterns can disrupt flow.
Transition Points: Doorways and open-plan layouts require precise alignment.
Expansion Requirements: Each flooring type responds differently to temperature and humidity.
For this project, careful planning was essential to avoid visible breaks between rooms.
Baseboards were reinstalled and adjusted to account for new floor heights. Final cleaning and inspection ensured consistent spacing, alignment, and finish quality throughout the home.
