Picking the Right Flooring for Michigan's Climate
Michigan has a humid continental climate with average humidity around 73%, about 37 inches of annual precipitation, and roughly 140 days at or below freezing each year. That combination of seasonal humidity swings and real winters means flooring that handles both expansion in humid summers and contraction in heated dry winters performs best. Engineered hardwood and luxury vinyl plank are both well-suited to Kalamazoo's conditions. Solid hardwood works in above-grade spaces with good climate control, but needs time to acclimate before installation. Tile is reliable anywhere moisture is a concern.Flooring Types and Services Available in Kalamazoo
