Flooring 101: Choosing the Right Option for Your Home

A CRW Guide to LVP, Tile & More

Picking new flooring shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or salesy. At Carolina Renovation Warehouse, we believe the best decisions happen when you actually understand your options. This guide breaks down the most popular flooring types we carry, where they work best, and why so many homeowners choose CRW for their projects.

Whether you’re updating a powder room, kitchen, or an entire home, this is your no-fluff, straight-talk flooring reference.

 

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

The most versatile option in the warehouse

LVP is one of the most common flooring choices we see—and for good reason. It gives you the look of hardwood with durability that fits real life.

Best for:

  • Kitchens

  • Living rooms

  • Basements

  • High-traffic areas

 

Why homeowners choose LVP:

  • Water-resistant (great for messy life moments)

  • Durable and scratch-resistant

  • Comfortable underfoot

  • Available in realistic wood looks

CRW carries top-brand LVP at warehouse pricing, so you’re not paying extra just for a name on the box.

 

Tile Flooring

Clean, classic, and built to last

Tile is a tried-and-true option for spaces that need durability and easy maintenance. From ceramic to porcelain, tile offers flexibility in both function and style.

Best for:

  • Powder rooms

  • Bathrooms

  • Kitchens

  • Laundry rooms

 

Why tile works:

  • Extremely durable

  • Easy to clean

  • Great for moisture-prone spaces

  • Endless design options

 

At CRW, you’ll find tile that works just as well for a quick powder room refresh as it does for a full kitchen renovation.

 

LVP vs. Tile: How to Decide

 

If you’re stuck between LVP and tile, ask yourself a few simple questions:

  • Is this space exposed to a lot of water? Tile usually wins.

  • Do you want warmth and comfort underfoot? LVP is often the better fit.

  • Is this a quick update or a long-term investment? Both options work—just in different ways.

 

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and that’s the point. The right flooring depends on how you live in your space.
