Engineered hardwood features multiple wood layers with a hardwood veneer on top, making it more stable and moisture-resistant than solid hardwood. Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood and can be sanded more times over its lifespan. At Sasser Flooring and Design, we install pre-finished engineered and sanded hardwood from brands like Bruce, Mohawk, and Somerset.

LVP and LVT flooring is highly water-resistant, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where moisture is common. Quality brands like COREtec, Shaw Floors, and Mohawk offer products that resist warping and damage from spills. At Sasser Flooring and Design, we install trusted water-resistant luxury vinyl options throughout Mebane and the Triangle area.

In Mebane's humid climate, engineered hardwood, LVP, LVT, and tile flooring perform best due to their moisture stability. Solid hardwood can expand or contract with humidity changes, while vinyl and tile resist moisture damage effectively. We help homeowners select climate-appropriate materials that will last in North Carolina's seasonal conditions.

Epoxy flooring typically lasts 10 to 20 years or more with proper maintenance, depending on traffic levels and usage. The resin-based coating creates a durable, stain-resistant surface ideal for garages, basements, and commercial spaces. At Sasser Flooring and Design, we offer single-quartz and double-quartz epoxy options with concrete grinding and sealing for long-lasting results.

Yes, tile is an excellent choice for custom showers due to its water resistance and design versatility. Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles can be arranged in various patterns and layouts to create personalized shower spaces. Sasser Flooring and Design specializes in custom tile showers as part of bathroom remodels throughout the Triangle area.

Hardwood installation cost depends on wood species, finish type, subfloor condition, room layout, and square footage. Pre-finished engineered hardwood generally installs faster than solid hardwood that requires sanding and finishing on-site. Additional factors include removal of old flooring, floor preparation, and brand selection from trusted manufacturers like Bruce and Somerset.

Waterproof laminate flooring features a sealed core that resists water penetration, making it suitable for moisture-prone areas. Traditional laminate can swell if water seeps into seams, but newer waterproof options offer improved protection. At Sasser Flooring and Design, we install waterproof laminate in wood-look and tile-look styles for durability and peace of mind.

The biggest mistake is selecting flooring based on appearance alone without considering durability and maintenance needs for high-traffic areas. Commercial spaces like retail stores, offices, and restaurants require flooring that withstands heavy use and frequent cleaning. Sasser Flooring and Design recommends LVP, carpet tile, epoxy, or commercial-grade tile depending on your business type and foot traffic.

Proper tile installation requires a clean, level, and structurally sound subfloor free of cracks or movement. The surface is typically prepared with underlayment or mortar bed, followed by thinset application for tile bonding. At Sasser Flooring and Design, we assess subfloor condition and complete all necessary prep work for lasting tile floors and backsplashes.

Yes, isolated damage like scratches, gouges, or water stains can often be repaired by sanding, refinishing, or replacing individual boards. Extensive damage across large areas may require full replacement for a uniform appearance. Sasser Flooring and Design offers comprehensive flooring repair and replacement services with disposal of old materials included.
