Westhampton’s coastal location means higher humidity levels and seasonal temperature changes that can affect certain flooring materials. We typically recommend engineered hardwood over solid hardwood because it’s more stable in these conditions and less likely to expand, contract, or warp.
Luxury vinyl plank is another excellent choice for Hamptons homes. It’s completely waterproof, handles humidity beautifully, and today’s options look incredibly realistic—many of our customers can’t tell the difference from real hardwood. For areas prone to moisture like bathrooms, mudrooms, or basement spaces, waterproof luxury vinyl or ceramic tile are your best bets.
We’ve been working in this area since 1988, so we understand exactly which products perform well in our local climate and which ones to avoid.
