Denver, Colorado Jan 25, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - CMC Flooring, LLC, a Denver-based flooring installation company, has released information on how flooring material selection affects home insulation and heating efficiency as Colorado residents navigate winter utility costs and evaluate long-term home improvements. The guidance addresses thermal performance characteristics of carpet and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring.
According to the company, flooring materials contribute measurably to a home's heat retention, with carpet providing superior insulation value compared to hard-surface options. This factor becomes particularly relevant for Colorado homeowners managing heating costs during winter months while also considering materials that maintain resale appeal.
"People don't always think about flooring in terms of insulation, but it makes a difference—especially in Colorado where basements and lower levels stay cold," said Christian Martinez, owner of CMC Flooring, LLC. "Carpet has natural R-value that helps keep heat from escaping through the floor. LVP doesn't insulate the same way, but with proper underlayment, you can reduce the cold floor issue while getting the durability and water resistance that makes sense for certain spaces."
CMC Flooring has served the Denver metro area for more than five years, providing LVP, hardwood, and carpet installation across Denver, Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Castle Rock, Centennial, Commerce City, Highlands Ranch, and Lakewood. The company reports increased inquiries from homeowners evaluating both comfort factors and property value considerations when selecting flooring materials.
Carpet provides thermal resistance through its fiber construction and padding, creating a barrier that reduces heat transfer through floors. LVP, while lacking inherent insulation properties, can be paired with cork or foam underlayment to minimize cold surface contact and improve comfort underfoot. Both materials offer distinct advantages: carpet for thermal efficiency and comfort in bedrooms and living areas, LVP for moisture resistance and durability in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Martinez notes that flooring decisions increasingly balance multiple factors—insulation performance, maintenance requirements, moisture concerns, and resale market preferences. The company's consultations include discussions of how different materials perform in Colorado's climate and which combinations optimize both immediate comfort and long-term home value.
