What Is The Best Flooring To Add Value To Your Property?

Thinking of selling your home? If you want to ensure you are getting the best price, you will need to add on plenty of value.

There are a ton of ways you can do this, no matter what your budget. If you are looking to gain the biggest return on investment, upgrading your flooring is a great start. The question is, if you are looking to sell your house, which floors will add on the most value and get you your asking price?

To help narrow down your selection, we have compiled a list of the best floors to add value to your house. Discover our top picks below...

1. Solid wood flooring

If you want to add the most value to your property, solid wood flooring is the best choice. Although considered the most difficult type of flooring to maintain, buyers are quick to overlook this thanks to its sumptuous looks.

According to data from the National Wood Flooring Association, installing wood flooring can increase a property’s value anywhere from 1% to 10%. Compared to how much you spend on the floor, you could see an impressive return on investment.

2. Engineered wood flooring

Engineered wood flooring is a more affordable option to solid wood. It is also easier to maintain and can be installed with underfloor heating. This often makes it a more attractive option to potential buyers. It provides the real wood effect of hardwood flooring, with a more practical design.

If you install engineered wood flooring into the home, it won’t deliver the same value as solid wood flooring. However, it can still add on a healthy amount to the asking price. The difference in value between solid wood and engineered wood floors is not significant. This makes it a great choice for those looking to save on their budget.

Some of the leading engineered wood flooring brands to consider include:

Kahrs

Atkinson & Kirby

In terms of quality and ease of installation, Atkinson & Kirby engineered floors are some of the best. As well as traditional tongue and groove systems, you’ll also find floors with 4G and 5G click systems. You can select from a wide range of finishes and sizes, ensuring there is something to suit your preferences and interior.

3. Laminate

Laminate Floors are popular for their stylish looks and practicality. These days they feature highly realistic wood and stone effects, making them ideal for those on a budget. While these floors won’t add much onto the overall value of the home, they can still increase your return on investment. Due to laminate flooring being easily maintained, they are ideal for busy families.

You’ll also find laminate floors add more to the value of your property if they are replacing carpet or standard vinyl.

4. LVT flooring

LVT flooring will add the least amount of value onto your property. However, these floors are popular with buyers as they provide realistic wood and stone effects, alongside easy maintenance. The more luxurious the floor looks, the more appealing it will be to buyers.

Like laminate flooring, you’ll find these floors increase the value of your property if they are replacing carpet.
