Reinforce Your Entry With Hybrid Resilient Flooring

Muddy boots and paws are no match for LL Flooring's premier Duravana Hybrid Resilient collection. Stop dirt in its tracks and successfully protect the rest of your home by reinforcing your entryway with Duravana planks. Duravana is the future of hard-surface flooring, and it's built to withstand moisture, scratches and dents. It's also easy on the eyes and available in 22 unique patterns — nearly three times as many as the average laminate or vinyl. In turn, Duravana combines the best characteristics of traditional floorings and the latest technological innovations to create one premium performance base.

Protect Your Kitchen With Luxury Vinyl Plank

Spills and splatters happen, especially in the kitchen. Luckily, you can treat yourself to many easy clean-ups and ward off stains by investing in luxury vinyl plank flooring. This material is stronger than most, and it has the added benefit of being totally waterproof. (So if someone spills wine or knocks over the cranberry sauce, there's no harm, no foul.) You'll love the click-and-lock planks, too, which allow for a quick installation. When you're ready to shop, just know that LL Flooring has over 100 gorgeous luxury vinyl plank offerings for you to choose from.

Enhance Your Dining Room With Hardwood

Formal dining rooms are the heart of holiday celebrations. Give yours timeless appeal and longevity by outfitting the space with hardwood varieties such as solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. Solid hardwood is highly coveted because it's naturally beautiful, easy to maintain, and — with proper care — can truly last for decades. (So you won't have to replace those wood planks any time soon.)

And, LL Flooring's growing assortment of engineered hardwood boasts a dense, high-performance core topped with a layer of genuine hardwood to achieve near-identical results as its solid counterpart. We like it so much that LL Flooring's water-resistant engineered hardwood is featured throughout HGTV Dream Home 2023.

Here's the best part: LL Flooring has hundreds of solid and engineered hardwood varieties in stock, from airy white oak and warm hickory to chocolatey acacia wood.

Upgrade Your Laundry Room With Cork

Whether you're hosting overnight guests or cleaning up after everyone's come and gone, you need a laundry room that you can actually count on. And that starts with waterproof cork flooring. Because the material is made from the bark of cork oak trees — which can be safely stripped and regrow their bark as quickly as every nine years — cork is a sustainable option for your floors. For spaces like laundry rooms, mudrooms or bathrooms, make sure to pick up a waterproof variety of cork to protect from any leaks, spills or moisture. Featured in the laundry room of HGTV Dream Home 2023, LL Flooring's waterproof cork flooring is ideal for the space not only because of its waterproof technology but also because of its sound-dampening properties that help quiet those noisy washers and dryers.

Improve Your Bathroom With Tile

More visitors means more foot traffic in your bathroom or powder room. Ensure that the space feels warm and inviting to guests by upgrading to tile flooring. Tile is a smart choice for bathrooms because it can mimic the look of polished stone or wood, but it's totally waterproof. Subsequently, you'll never have to worry about ruining your floors if the sink leaks or the bathtub accidentally overflows. When you're ready to commit, check out LL Flooring's 120+ tile offerings.
