• Emerging Competition from Alternative Flooring Options Limits the Usage of Wood Engineered Floors

Alternative flooring options includes substitutes such as luxury vinyl tile (LVT), laminate flooring, and eco-friendly options such as bamboo flooring. These alternatives offer comparable aesthetics, durability, and ease of installation at competitive price points, eroding the market share of wood engineered floors. Additionally, advancements in manufacturing technologies and design innovations in alternative flooring segments pose a threat.

For instance,

Ceramic and porcelain tile flooring remain popular choices in areas with high moisture or heavy foot traffic due to their water resistance and durability. These tile options pose competition to wood engineered flooring in spaces such as bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial environments. Porcelain tile is highly durable, resistant to wear, scratching, chipping, and cracking, making it suitable for high-traffic areas and commercial use. It is also completely waterproof, which makes it an exceptional flooring for areas prone to getting wet, such as bathrooms and kitchens. Ceramic tile, while less water-resistant than porcelain, is still resistant to moisture and is a good choice for areas with moderate moisture levels. In comparison, wood engineered flooring may show quicker signs of wear in high-traffic areas and may not be as water-resistant as tile flooring.
