Foot traffic probably isn’t a big deal unless you have a big family. But during the holidays, this can be more of a problem than usual.

Floating floors

Another option is to choose a floating hardwood instead. What separates this technique from others is that it is not anchored to the subfloor. Hardwood floors should be attached to your home’s subfloor, but not floating hardwood. You have another decision to make here, though.

Acrylic hardwood

Acrylic hardwood is something you may not have heard of before. Indeed, this flooring is much more commonly used in commercial buildings than in residential dwellings. Acrylic materials are injected directly into the wood, which is a process called impregnation. The parquet then becomes even more durable than before. This way, hallways inside your home or commercial building can be protected from high levels of foot traffic.
