Red Carpet Rollout

This Oscar season, we’re taking a look at our red-carpet favorites and making our predictions as to which nominees will be coming out on top. No, we’re not talking about our favorite movies of the year—what we’re most excited for are the newest and best in flooring releases that are driving both trends and technology in the coming year.

So without further ado, allow us to roll out the red carpet for some of LL’s brightest stars in the flooring space, from traditional hardwood to waterproof vinyl and everything in between. Here are your nominees:

Harmony Collection
With over 20 unique patterns per style, the Harmony Collection of vinyl floors provides a realistic, genuine hardwood look combined with waterproof resilience, granting the peace of mind that comes with having a stylish defense against unexpected accidents.

 

 

 

Duravana Collection

Designed to replicate the natural color, grain, and texture of hardwood, Duravana hybrid resilient flooring is a stylish, eco-friendly and entirely new category that combines the best characteristics of traditional flooring and the latest technological innovation to create unprecedented premium performance floors. This new eco-friendly flooring features extreme wear-and-dent resistance, plus advanced Dual Defense water protection that combines a waterproof plank with an innovative water-tight locking mechanism to prevent liquid from seeping between planks.

 

Era Collection

Offering the latest looks in European Oak, Era Collection engineered hardwoods feature ultra-wide and ultra-long planks that create an open, stylish look in any room. The expansive planks allow for the trend-setting style of European Oak to take center stage.

 

 

 

Dream Home Waterproof Laminate

Introduced for the first time at LL Flooring, the Dream Home waterproof laminate assortment offers great value, style and performance. Laminate flooring is easy to install, easy to maintain, and designed to replicate the natural color, grain, and texture of real hardwood. In addition to being remarkably realistic, laminate flooring is exceptionally durable-resistant to staining, scratches, wear, and fading.

 

 

 

 

 

Hydrocork Collection

An optimal choice for any space, Hydrocork is a premium waterproof flooring solution that combines extreme performance with the sustainability and comfort of cork. A waterproof core made of composite cork protects from spills and splashes while providing natural thermal and noise insulation.

 

 

 

 

 

And the Winner Is…

With its combination of performance, beauty, and durability, Duravana takes the award for new flooring releases in the past year. In addition to its premium qualities, Duravana is designed to replicate the natural color, grain and texture of real hardwood, presenting true hardwood looks with fewer pattern repeats than traditional vinyl plank or laminate.

LL’s Floor of the Year selection was awarded to the Duravana Bay Bridge Oak, which contains a neutral timber coloring and a gentle, golden nuance that displays wavy grain and knots, for a fashionable, modern stage that suits any design.
