The Best Flooring Materials for Maine Homes: From Mud Season to Winter Warmth

Choosing the right flooring in Maine means balancing beauty, durability, and practicality. Our seasons can be tough on materials, so knowing what works well year-round is essential.

Vinyl Plank: Affordable and Durable

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is water-resistant, easy to clean, and withstands heavy foot traffic. It mimics the look of hardwood without the high cost or maintenance, making it perfect for homes with pets or kids.

Tile: Best for Bathrooms and Mudrooms

Porcelain or ceramic tile stands up well to water and mud, making it ideal for entryways and bathrooms. Heated tile floors also help combat Maine's cold winters.

Hardwood: Classic and Warm (with Maintenance)

Hardwood adds value and beauty but does require more upkeep. In high-traffic or moisture-prone areas, consider engineered hardwood or use rugs for protection.
