When it comes to upgrading your home, flooring is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. The right flooring can enhance your space’s beauty, improve home value, and make your life easier. At Stover’s Liquidation, we specialize in offering high quality tile, hardwood, and vinyl flooring at the best prices you'll find anywhere.

But which flooring type is best for your home? Let’s break down the pros and cons of tile, hardwood, and vinyl flooring so you can make an informed choice.

Tile Flooring

✅ Pros:

Durability: Tile is one of the most durable flooring options. Perfect for high traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.

Water Resistant: Ceramic and porcelain tiles are highly water resistant, making them ideal for wet areas.

Easy to Clean: Just sweep and mop, tile resists stains and holds up well over time.

Style Options: Available in countless designs, colors, and textures, including wood look tile.

❌ Cons:

Cold Underfoot: Tile can feel cold, especially in the winter, unless you install heated flooring underneath.

Hard Surface: Not as comfortable underfoot, especially if you stand a lot while cooking or working.

Installation Cost: While tile itself can be affordable (especially from Stover’s), professional installation can be labor intensive and pricey.

Hardwood Flooring

✅ Pros:

Timeless Appeal: Hardwood offers natural beauty and warmth that never goes out of style.

Increased Home Value: Real wood floors are a strong selling point in any home.

Long Lifespan: With proper care, hardwood floors can last decades.

Refinishing Options: You can sand and refinish hardwood to restore its look or change its color.

❌ Cons:

Cost: Real hardwood is often the most expensive flooring upfront.

Moisture Sensitivity: Hardwood is not ideal for humid or wet areas, it can warp or stain.

Scratches & Dents: Pets, furniture, and high heels can easily scratch the surface.

Vinyl Flooring

✅ Pros:

Budget Friendly: Vinyl is one of the most affordable flooring options, especially at liquidation prices.

Waterproof Options: Modern luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and vinyl tile (LVT) are waterproof and great for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

DIY Friendly: Vinyl is lightweight and often comes in peel and stick or click lock formats, making installation easy for beginners.

Variety of Styles: Mimics the look of wood, tile, or stone at a fraction of the cost.

❌ Cons:

Shorter Lifespan: While durable, vinyl won’t last as long as tile or solid hardwood.

Lower Resale Value: Doesn’t add as much value to a home as real hardwood or tile.

Environmental Concerns: Vinyl is a synthetic material, which may not be ideal for eco conscious buyers.

So, Which Flooring is Best for You?
Choose tile if you want durability and water resistance in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor areas.

Choose hardwood for classic beauty and long-term value in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas.

Choose vinyl for cost effective, waterproof, and easy to install solutions, perfect for families, rentals, or quick makeovers.
