How to Choose the Right Color and Style

  1. Consider Your Space
    Light tones like Yellow Wish work well in smaller or darker rooms to help make them feel open. Deeper shades like Burnt Sienna bring warmth to large, open areas.

  2. Think About Traffic
    If you have pets or kids, a mid-toned floor like Fossil Gray can hide dirt and scuffs better than lighter options.

  3. Match Your Style
    Look at your walls, furniture, and cabinetry. These floors come in versatile tones that work with rustic, modern, and traditional interiors.

Myth 1: All LVP is the same
Not true. Founder’s Trace uses a durable SPC core and includes features like an attached pad and textured surface that low-cost vinyl doesn’t offer.

Myth 2: Vinyl isn’t durable
Founder’s Trace is designed to stand up to wear and tear, with resistance to scratches, dents, and moisture.

Myth 3: Vinyl looks fake
Each plank is made with high-definition visuals and realistic wood grain textures that look natural and feel authentic underfoot.
