💎 Meet the Diamond Core Collection

Not all hard-surface flooring is built the same, and Diamond Core brings something a little different to the floor.

Designed with performance in mind, this collection uses a balanced core construction engineered to help handle the temperature and moisture changes that can put stress on a floor over time. It’s also approximately 20% lighter than traditional SPC or ABA constructions, while being designed to deliver serious everyday durability.

And when real life happens? That’s exactly what it was made for.

💧 Waterproof
🐾 Petproof
💅 Scratch resistant
☀️ Designed for improved stability
🏡 Made for busy, lived-in homes
✨ Beautiful wood looks without sacrificing performance

Diamond Core was developed to tackle some of the common problems seen with traditional rigid-core flooring, giving you another option when you want a floor that looks good and is built to work hard.

Come by DesignSouth Flooring & Interiors and take a look at the new Diamond Core display. We can show you the different options, explain how the construction works, and help you decide if it’s the right fit for your home.

Because pretty floors are great. Pretty floors that can handle real life are even better. 💎

Hardwood has a way of becoming part of the story of a home.

Its natural grain, rich tones and subtle variations bring character that manufactured looks simply can’t replicate. And as the years pass, hardwood develops a warmth and personality all its own.

Classic enough to outlast trends and versatile enough to work with almost any design style, it’s an investment you’ll appreciate for years to come.

Solid Hardwood vs. Engineered Hardwood: Which One Belongs in Your Home?

Both are real wood floors — but they're built differently, and that difference matters. Here's what to know before you decide!

1. Construction
• Solid hardwood is exactly what it sounds like: one solid piece of wood, top to bottom.
• Engineered hardwood has a real hardwood top layer bonded over several layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard.
• That layered core is what makes engineered wood more stable when temperature and humidity shift.

2. Where It Can Go
• Solid hardwood is sensitive to moisture, so it's best kept above grade — living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms.
• Engineered hardwood's stable core lets it handle basements, over concrete slabs, and even some kitchens without warping.
• If you've got a below-grade space you want in real wood, engineered is usually the way to go.

3. Lifespan & Refinishing
• Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times over decades — it's a true generational floor.
• Engineered hardwood can also be refinished, but only a limited number of times depending on how thick its top wear layer is.
• Both hold up well long-term when properly cared for; solid just has more refinishing room to work with.

4. Cost & Installation
• Solid hardwood typically costs more and is nailed or stapled down, which adds to labor time.
• Engineered hardwood is often more budget-friendly and can be glued, nailed, or floated — a good fit for faster installs.

Quick Rule of Thumb:
Above grade, staying long-term, want max refinishing life → Solid hardwood
Basements, over concrete, need moisture stability → Engineered hardwood
Tight budget or faster install timeline → Engineered hardwood

Does Plank Thickness Really Matter When You're Shopping for Floating Luxury Vinyl?

Short answer: yes! Here's what to know before you buy.

1. How Long It Lasts
The overall thickness (measured in millimeters) plays a big role in how the floor holds up over time, and it usually goes hand-in-hand with the wear layer on top.
• Thicker planks tend to pair with a heavier wear layer, so they shrug off scratches, dents, and everyday scuffs better.
• Thinner planks (around 2-4mm) work fine in guest rooms or low-traffic spots, while 5-8mm+ options are built for busy homes with kids, pets, and constant foot traffic.

2. How Solid It Feels
• Thicker vinyl is stiffer and does a better job masking small dips or minor imperfections in your subfloor. (Floor prep is still an essential step )
• It cuts down on noise and gives you that solid, hardwood-like feel when you walk across it.
• Thinner flooring can sound hollow or "clicky," especially if your subfloor isn't perfectly level.

3. How Comfortable It Is
• A beefier core means more cushion underfoot.
• If you spend a lot of time standing — think kitchens or living areas — that extra comfort adds up fast.

4. How It's Perceived
• Buyers and homeowners alike tend to see thicker vinyl as the higher-end option.
• A 6-8mm plank with a 20 mil wear layer simply reads as more premium than a basic 3mm product — and that can matter at resale.

Cheat Sheet:
4mm / 12 mil wear layer → Apartments and light-use spaces
5-6mm / 12-20 mil wear layer → The go-to for most homes
7-8mm / 20+ mil wear layer → High-traffic homes with kids and pets
