Parkay Floors

Is Parkay Floors in Style?

How Style Trends Shift in Flooring

• Neutral palettes remain dominant, but texture is the new focal point.
• Wide planks and large-format tiles reduce grout lines, creating a calm surface.
• Matte and low-sheen finishes help hide scuffs and fit today’s understated interiors.

Where They Stand Now

Signature Looks

• Victorian Ash by Parkay Floors brings a relaxed Australian hardwood vibe that pairs well with minimalist décor.
• Stone-inspired Parkay Flooring Tiles echo polished concrete—ideal for industrial lofts.

Formats That Match Modern Layouts

Under the Surface: XPS vs XPR

• XPS (extruded polystyrene): Lightweight core that improves thermal comfort—handy for basement remodels.
• XPR (rigid polymer composite): Added density resists dents; a smart pick for busy entryways.

Design Tips to Keep Your Flooring Current

1. Play with direction – Lay 7 x 60 planks parallel to the longest wall to stretch sight-lines.
2. Use transitions sparingly – Continuous flooring reads as bigger and more up-to-date.
3. Contrast with cabinetry – Pair warm Victorian Ash with cool gray cabinets for balanced warmth.
4. Mind the sheen – A low-gloss Parkay wood floor hides daily wear better than a high-shine finish.
