The '1-3 rule' for flooring in Wisconsin typically refers to expansion gaps for wood products. It suggests a gap of approximately 1/32 inch for every linear foot of flooring width. This is crucial to manage Wisconsin's seasonal humidity changes and prevent buckling. Proper gapping ensures floor stability.
In Wisconsin's climate, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) often surpasses laminate due to its superior water resistance. While laminate is a budget-friendly option, LVP's ability to handle moisture makes it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
