Remodeling or Updating Your Desert Flooring?
Are you planning a new build or remodeling your home in the desert? Making a smart decision on products and materials for flooring that do well in your desert home is important both financially and aesthetically. You may find choosing new desert flooring for your home a little overwhelming when considering that what works well in one climate may not work well here in our sunny desert location.
Flooring products available in 2025 have evolved to combine climate-smart functionality with current styles and trends giving homeowners plenty of choices for both family and pet-friendly living, along with creating your desired visual appeal.
Large-Format Porcelain Tiles
For example, large-format porcelain tiles are a popular choice and are now made with finishes replicating much-loved natural materials such as wood, stone, or concrete. These tiles also offer a sleek look without sacrificing durability. Tile elements such as matte textures and earthy tones—such as sand, terracotta, and sun-washed beige—continue to be popular and blend beautifully with our desert landscape. Combined with the added bonus of reflecting heat, this flooring choice helps maintain a cool environment – a definite plus in southern Utah.
Concrete Flooring
Concrete flooring, stained or polished, is also on-trend and many who enjoy a minimalist aesthetic also appreciate the heat resistance and energy efficiency. This flooring option retains coolness and also works well with radiant heating systems for anywhere in your home. Other more traditional materials like patterned tiles allow homeowners to create unique designs or subtle geometric layouts or accents in entryways or bathrooms add your personality to a space without breaking the bank.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) continues to grow in popularity and provides homeowners with a softer yet still desert-appropriate functionality. It is also an excellent choice due to its ability to mimic wood without the risk of warping in our dry climate. Thanks to the water resistance and fade resistance of LPV, many desert homeowners now incorporate this material in their open, airy floor plans creating seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Sustainable Materials
Some homeowners choose sustainable materials, including recycled-content tiles and bamboo appealing to those eco-conscious consumers. These materials can pair well with modern desert aesthetics when used in certain spaces.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with choosing your next flooring whether for a full build, a large remodel, or any smaller space, let us at Red Rock Flooring help you find just the right product to help you create the perfect feel for your home here in our Southern Utah desert.
