Summers can be brutal, especially when the temperature is at its peak. All we wish to do is stay home and avoid the scorching sun. However, if you live in a city or have an apartment on the top floor, the house can get hot, so we discuss the best flooring to keep you cool in summer and fresh in this extreme weather.

1. Marble flooring

Marble flooring is a good option for people living in areas with crude summers. This type of flooring is widely considered due to its ease of maintenance, durability, and style. It helps preserve the energy within the house but can be used as an excellent option to keep the flooring intact. As a result, marble flooring has a good market.

2. Hardwood floors

Hardwood floors do not retain heat like other floors. However, if the wood flooring is not in direct sunlight, the wood can stay quite remarkable during warmer seasons. Also, the ability to pick lighter shades of wood, or stain them with a more golden color (or both!), will help deflect sunlight and keep the floor cool to the touch. Also, Hardwood floors appreciate the value of your home, and they look fantastic. A properly installed hardwood floor is also highly durable, requiring sweeping and an occasional wood cleaner.

3. Concrete flooring

If you care about being “green,” concrete is your flooring. Concrete is one of the most environmentally friendly types of flooring—it stays cool in the summer, retains heat in the winter, and can stand up to some of your biggest messes. So, install concrete in your home and watch those heating and air conditioning bills drop! 

4. Ceramic and porcelain tile

Ceramic and porcelain tile is a great option, especially if a room is not in direct sunlight. These tiles are also a good option compared to natural stone tiles as they tend to be more budget-friendly. In addition, ceramic and porcelain are water resistant, so they’ll be perfect throughout your home, including the bathroom. 

5. Luxury vinyl tiles/planks

Luxury vinyl flooring mimics a variety of popular floorings, such as tile and stone, without the hassle of fitting it or the expense. This particular choice is perfect for the summer months as it can cool underfoot and, similar to laminate, doesn’t hold heat.

6. Bamboo flooring 

Bamboo flooring is an excellent choice for both hot and cold seasons, as it helps heat your floors in winter and gives a cooling effect in the summer. It has a controlled moisture content, making it crack and split-resistant. In addition, it is relatively easy to maintain, durable, and affordable.

7. Hybrid flooring

Hybrid flooring is water resistant, and you can install it anywhere in your home—in the bathroom, kitchen, and foyer. Hybrid is a new category developing quickly, featuring unique designs including timber prints, stones, and exposed aggregate. This flooring effectively takes the best attributes of both laminate and vinyl tiles. It’s worth exploring.
