Summer flooring care looks different than the rest of the year. Rising humidity, pool days, sandy shoes, and long hours of direct sunlight all put extra stress on your floors, whether you have hardwood, carpet, tile, or luxury vinyl underfoot.

Modular flooring is having a moment. A new report from MarketsandMarkets projects the global modular flooring market will grow from $14.01 billion in 2026 to $16.48 billion by 2031. That's steady growth driven largely by commercial construction, but the ripple effects reach far beyond office buildings and hospitals.

Hardwood flooring is having a complicated year. New industry data reveals a striking split in the market, and it says a lot about what homeowners truly value today. Overall wood flooring sales dipped in 2025, yet the story behind the numbers tells a different tale. Premium hardwood is holding strong, even thriving, while budget options lose ground to alternatives like luxury vinyl plank and laminate.
