When you’re building a new home, flooring might not be the first thing on your mind. However, that changes quickly once you attend your first design appointment at Interior Surfaces. From muddy shoes to spilled snacks, your floors will take on lot. That is why we put so much thought into our standard flooring options that don’t just look good but truly work for real life.
Every flooring type in our homes has a job to do. From moisture-resistant sheet vinyl to durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and comfort-focused carpet, each selection is intentional.
Luxury LVP Flooring, Made Standard
One of our standard flooring selections is the Mohawk PureTech Select LVP, a choice that was once considered an upgrade. Over time, homeowners consistently gravitated toward this option because of its durability, style, and ease of maintenance. And since we believe quality should be the starting point, not an add-on, we made it a standard feature in all of our Designer Collection homes!
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP/LVT) flooring is designed with modern households in mind. It offers:
- Exceptional durability for high-traffic areas
- Resistance to moisture and everyday spills
- Easy cleaning and low maintenance
- A timeless wood-look design that doesn’t overpower your space
The Avery Grove series shown here strikes a perfect balance. It feels warm and inviting while remaining neutral enough to work with a wide range of cabinetry, wall colors, and décor styles. Additionally, it does an excellent job of hiding everyday wear — making it ideal for families, pets, and open floor plans.
Smart, Practical Sheet Vinyl Where it Matters
Not every space in a home needs the same type of flooring — and that’s intentional. In areas where moisture, messes, and frequent cleanups are part of daily life, we use durable sheet vinyl as a standard option. You’ll typically find sheet vinyl in bathrooms and laundry rooms.
This flooring choice offers:
- Water resistance for peace of mind
- Easy cleanup for everyday messes
- A smooth, seamless surface
- Long-lasting performance in hardworking spaces
By placing sheet vinyl in the areas that need it most, we prioritize function without sacrificing style.
Comfort Focused Carpet
Bedrooms should feel calm, comfortable, and inviting. For that reason, we include quality carpet as a standard flooring option in spaces designed for rest and relaxation.
Our standard carpet offers:
- A warm surface underfoot
- Added comfort for bedrooms and private spaces
- Sound absorption for a quieter home environment
- A neutral foundation that works with many décor styles
Carpet isn’t about trend — it’s about comfort. By thoughtfully placing it where it makes the most sense, we help create spaces that feel cozy, personal, and welcoming from day one.

When browsing our floor plans online, you’ll notice different colors or patterns used throughout. These colors aren’t decorative; they’re there to help you understand the type of flooring that comes standard in each area of the home.
Here is a quick guide:
- Sheet vinyl: Typically shown in spaces such as laundry rooms and bathrooms.
- LVP/LVT: Used in main living areas like kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, and living spaces
- Carpet: Found in bedrooms and other areas designed for added comfort.
This visual system helps you quickly see how each space is designed to function — even before you step inside the home.
Flooring Chosen with Purpose
We don’t treat flooring as an afterthought. Every selection is made with long-term livability in mind – how it looks on move-in day, how it holds up years later, and how it supports the way people actually live in their homes. By choosing quality flooring as our standard, we’re making a simple promise: your home is built to support everyday life beautifully.
