Catlin Court and Old Towne: Flooring a Century-Old Home
Glendale was founded in 1892 and now has ten National Register historic districts. Catlin Court alone, platted in 1914, still holds close to 90 original buildings, roughly half of them Craftsman bungalows built between 1914 and 1942.
Flooring these homes comes with its own checklist:
- Check subfloor moisture and level first. In a century-old house, this is the single most common reason a new floor fails early, and it's cheap to test compared to the cost of pulling everything up.
- Narrower engineered hardwood planks suit original room proportions and door clearances better than wide-plank modern styles, which can overwhelm a small bungalow room.
- Tile in original kitchens and bathrooms usually needs to be reset over a fresh moisture barrier rather than laid over old, uneven substrate.
- Think about how the new floor meets existing trim, doors, and cabinets before you order. Older homes were built around materials with different thicknesses.
Engineered hardwood is the usual answer here because it keeps the warmth of a traditional wood floor while handling the dry air far better than solid planks. Tile works too when durability matters more than matching an original wood surface.
Arrowhead and North Glendale: Open Plans Need Continuous Floors
Newer Glendale homes have the opposite problem. Planned communities like Arrowhead Ranch were designed around large, interconnected living spaces, and breaking those up with three different flooring materials makes the whole house feel smaller.
Running one floor continuously through the kitchen, dining, hallway, and main living area is what makes an open plan read as open. Wide-plank engineered hardwood does this with real wood character, waterproof luxury vinyl does it with less maintenance and better spill tolerance, and large-format porcelain does it with a surface that stays cool through July. All three come in wide enough runs to cover a great room without a transition strip in sight.
Homes Near Luke Air Force Base Have an Extra Consideration
Luke Air Force Base sits on Glendale's west side, and Arizona law directs cities near military airports to adopt ordinances requiring new residential construction inside the base's 65-decibel noise contour to hit a maximum interior noise level of 45 decibels. Those requirements fall on walls, windows, doors, and ventilation, not floors.
Flooring carries no legal STC requirement, but it does affect how a room sounds:
- Luxury vinyl with acoustic underlayment handles both airborne and impact noise better than any rigid floor.
- Engineered hardwood over a sound-rated underlayment gets you close, without giving up the look of real wood.
- Large-format tile is durable and cool, but it reflects sound rather than absorbing it, which is worth thinking about in a bedroom or home office under the flight path.
If you're building, remodeling, or buying a resale home in West Glendale, it's worth finding out which contour your address falls in before you finalize a flooring plan. Ask us, and we'll point you toward products with the acoustic specs your project needs.
Westgate and State Farm Stadium Bring Commercial-Grade Demand
The Westgate Entertainment District packs retail, restaurants, hotels, offices, and housing next to State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena. Game nights and concert nights put more traffic across those floors in six hours than a family home sees in a month, and that calls for a different spec entirely:
- Commercial-grade rigid-core luxury vinyl for restaurants and retail that face dropped trays and nightly deep cleaning
- Durable laminate for short-term rentals near the stadium, where fast turnaround between guests matters as much as looks
- Large-format porcelain for lobbies and entries taking the full weight of event-night traffic
For contractors and property managers, ordering in volume does more than lower the price. It keeps product matched across units and rooms, which is the thing that quietly costs you money when a floor needs patching two years later. If you're specifying for a commercial space, our guide to durable flooring for high-traffic areas covers the wear ratings worth insisting on.
Which Brands Suit Which Glendale Project
Every brand we carry earns its place, but they solve different problems:
- Restoring in Catlin Court or Old Towne: Garrison and Provenza for character-grade engineered hardwood, with Hallmark and Legante Hawkins Bay covering the mid-range. These are the lines with the narrower profiles and period-appropriate finishes a bungalow actually needs.
- Building or remodeling in Arrowhead and north Glendale: COREtec sets the standard for rigid-core waterproof vinyl and still leads on wear resistance, while Karndean brings the widest range of realistic wood and stone visuals when the floor has to carry the room.
- Rentals and investment properties: Reward Flooring and Lux Flooring deliver waterproof performance at a price that works across multiple units, and a damaged plank can be swapped individually instead of replacing a room.
- Commercial and mixed-use near Westgate: Shaw Floors spans vinyl, laminate, and hardwood under one manufacturer, which simplifies specifying a whole property, and Opulux covers design-led spaces that still need commercial durability.
