To increase comfort in a sunroom, protect against the sun and various temperature changes, boost your home’s value, and add appeal, you should choose durable flooring. The materials used, expected foot traffic, longevity goals, and maintenance preferences may determine the type of flooring you prefer. Below are some of the best options to consider for an enclosed sunroom.
Tile
Tile resists fading, doesn’t warp from heat, and requires low maintenance year-round. With wood or laminated flooring, moisture and humidity are often an issue, causing it to buckle more under various conditions, such as spills and humidity. However, tile won’t experience these setbacks and maintains extreme durability regardless of heavy foot traffic, tracked-in dirt or mud, and regular furniture movement.
When spills, dirt, and dust appear, you can clean them up easily with a mop or broom. The versatile styles also make tile one of the best flooring options. You can choose from countless patterns, colors, textures, and styles to match your sunroom’s décor.Â
Hardwood
If you’re seeking elegance, natural appeal, warmth, and a traditional outdoor feel, hardwood should be at the top of your list. Its stability in humidity is another advantage, allowing it to maintain its durability regardless of temperature swings. Wood flooring can come in modern or rustic styles, with stains and grains based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and availability.
Remember to apply proper sealing to provide extra protection against fading, moisture damage, warping, and other issues. Properly installed and sealed hardwood flooring in the sunroom can keep it comfortable year-round.
Vinyl
Affordability and durability make vinyl a great flooring option. It can resist cracking, fading, and rotting, and it has great insulation. This makes it perfect for homeowners who want to maintain sunrooms with low maintenance, reduced energy bills, and high quality. Unlike other options, vinyl flooring doesn’t require painting but can still resist moisture and insects, making it an excellent choice for areas with a lot of sun exposure.
Customization is another advantage of vinyl flooring. The fit will be perfect for your sunroom, and you can choose a high glass-to-frame ratio for more versatile views. When compared to other flooring options, vinyl is more energy efficient, as it can block heat in the summer and properly retain it during the winter months, boosting comfort while lowering energy costs.
Tips to Consider
When selecting flooring, avoid products that fade quickly or significantly. Carpet traps moisture, which can lead to other problems and make maintenance more challenging.
Any materials that aren’t resistant to UV rays are more likely to fade and will discolor under constant sun exposure. You want extremely durable flooring that won’t swell or buckle in the humid, fluctuating temperatures of a sunroom.
