3 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing New Floors
(And how we make it easy to get it right)
Choosing new flooring is a big decision. It’s not something you do every day — but it is something you live with every day. That’s why it pays to get it right the first time. At Wood Floor Store, Ireland’s leading wooden flooring shop, we make the process easy and ensure you find a floor that’s stylish, durable and perfect for your home.
Here are some common mistakes and how to avoid them:
Mistake #1: Underestimating Wear and Tear
Daily life can be tough on floors. Muddy shoes, pets, toy trucks and spills all take their toll. Many homeowners underestimate just how much traffic their floors will face. At Wood Floor Store, we only stock AC4 and AC5-rated laminate and wood flooring — the highest durability grades in Europe. That means every floor you buy from us is built to handle busy family life, heavy use, and even commercial spaces across Dublin and Ireland.
Mistake #2: Not Getting Expert Guidance
With so many choices available — laminate, SPC, engineered wood, herringbone — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Choosing the wrong floor can mean disappointment and unnecessary expense. Our expert team at Wood Floor Store guides you through the process, asking the right questions about your lifestyle, room type and budget. This ensures you don’t just buy any floor — you buy the right floor for your home. That’s why we’re trusted as the best flooring shop in Dublin and across Ireland.
Mistake #3: Ignoring the Importance of Underlay
Too often, people focus only on how a floor looks and forget about what goes underneath. The right underlay makes all the difference, adding warmth, comfort, sound insulation and extending the life of your floor. At Wood Floor Store, we make sure every installation is matched with the correct underlay so you get maximum performance and durability from your new floor.
