Flooring Options for New Build Homes

 

Here’s our guide to some of the best flooring options for new build homes, designed to complement modern lifestyles beautifully. Give us a ring or pop into our showroom if you’d like to find out more.

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) – Modern, Stylish, and Practical

If you’re after the look of real wood or stone without the price tag or maintenance, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) are hard to beat. They’re one of the most popular choices for new builds today and for good reason.

LVT combine durability, style, and comfort in a way few other materials can. They’re waterproof, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways, and extremely easy to clean. They’re also softer underfoot than traditional tile or wood, which is ideal for busy family homes.

At GOFLOORIT, we supply and fit two premium LVT brands – Brampton Chase and Karndean. Both ranges offer beautifully realistic finishes and come in a wide choice of colours and patterns. Whether you prefer warm oak tones, elegant grey planks, or contemporary stone effects, there’s something to suit every interior style.

Tip: If your new build home has underfloor heating, luxury vinyl tiles work perfectly with it giving you warm, stylish floors all year round.

Engineered Wood Flooring – A Classic with Modern Strength

For many homeowners, nothing compares to the look of real wood, though. The good news is that engineered wood flooring gives you all the natural beauty of hardwood with extra stability and moisture resistance built in.

Each plank is made from multiple layers of wood bonded together, topped with a solid hardwood layer such as oak, walnut, or maple. This creates a floor that looks every bit as luxurious as solid wood but is much better suited to modern homes making it a great flooring option for new build homes.

Engineered wood brings timeless warmth and sophistication to any space. From open-plan living areas to cosy bedrooms. And because it’s available in different finishes and plank widths, it can complement both contemporary and classic interiors.

Tip: When choosing engineered wood for a new build home, consider wider planks for open-plan spaces – they create a seamless, contemporary look that enhances the feeling of space. If your home has underfloor heating, make sure to confirm compatibility, as engineered wood performs beautifully with it when correctly installed.

Laminate & Click-Fit Flooring – Affordable Style Made Easy

If you love the look of natural materials but need a practical, budget-friendly option, laminate or click-fit flooring is an ideal flooring option for your new build. Both offer the perfect balance of style, performance, and ease of installation making them great for first-time homeowners or DIY enthusiasts.

Laminate flooring is known for its realistic finishes, whether you’re after rustic wood grains or sleek stone looks. It’s also scratch-resistant, low-maintenance, and affordable, which makes it a smart choice for high-traffic areas.

Click-fit flooring, on the other hand, takes convenience to the next level. Its clever interlocking design allows for fast, glue-free installation, so you can enjoy your new floors sooner. It’s also easy to replace or extend in the future, giving you flexibility as your home evolves.

Tip: Click-fit flooring is especially useful in open-plan spaces or multi-purpose rooms where you want a consistent look that flows seamlessly from one area to another. This open-plan style is typical of new build homes which makes it a top contender when considering your flooring.

Carpet – Comfort, Warmth, and a Homely Touch

While hard flooring dominates modern design trends, carpet still has a well-deserved place when considering flooring options for new build homes. Capet is particularly used in bedrooms, lounges, and stairways where comfort matters most.

Carpet adds warmth and sound insulation, making it ideal for modern open-plan homes where acoustics can otherwise be an issue. And with stain-resistant ranges available, it’s also a great choice for families and pet owners.

At GOFLOORIT, we stock an impressive range of high-quality British and European carpets, including trusted names like Victoria Carpets, Cormar, Abingdon, Ulster, Penthouse, Lano, and Manx Tomkinson. Whether you want a soft, deep pile for your bedroom, a durable twist for your hallway, or a patterned wool for your stairs, you’ll find something to love.

Tip: Pair your carpet with a quality underlay. It not only feels more luxurious underfoot but also improves insulation, extends carpet life, and enhances appearance retention. Get this right from the beginning with flooring from your new build and you’ll extend your carpets life by years.

Underlay & Professional Fitting – The Finishing Touch That Makes the Difference

Every beautiful floor deserves the right foundation. Quality underlay improves underfoot comfort, reduces wear, and helps smooth out minor sub-floor imperfections ensuring a flawless finish. It also provides extra warmth and sound insulation, which makes a noticeable difference in energy efficiency and comfort.

And just as important as the materials themselves is the installation. At GOFLOORIT, our own team of experienced fitters handles every project with care and precision. Whether it’s a supply-and-fit service or a supply-only order, we make sure your flooring is prepared to the highest standard.

Tip: Even if you’ve taken your own measurements, our experts are always happy to check details or offer advice before you order saving you time, money, and potential headaches later on.
