You are about to choose a new floor for your home in Hoorn or the immediate area. That is exciting, because a floor determines the atmosphere in your home for a large part. It is the foundation. In 2026, many houses in the region will be delivered and renovated. Think of the new construction in the Holenkwartier, where the sales phase of 21 robust inner-city homes will soon start. And then you naturally have the expansion of companies such as Vomar in Alkmaar and projects in Haarlem. With so much choice, it is difficult to choose the right party. We are happy to help you on your way by comparing five types of floor suppliers in the region.
1. Martijn de Wit Vloeren: De servicegerichte specialist
Let’s start with a party that stands out due to years of experience and a focus on total care: Martijn de Wit Vloeren. This specialist has been around since 1995 and has showrooms in Schagen and Amsterdam, making them easily accessible from Hoorn. What distinguishes them? They not only supply the floor, but arrange the whole picture. Think of leveling the subfloor, installing underfloor heating and laying the floor by their own parquet layers. They are experts in wooden floors, especially herringbone and Hungarian Point, and also offer high-quality PVC and cast floors. Because they work with A-brands and their own selections, you can be sure that the quality is high. For anyone looking for a floor that seamlessly matches the home, with personal advice in the showroom, this is a serious option. They think along about the best choice for your specific situation and wishes.
2. De lokale bouwmarkt of houthandel: De snelle koper
Many residents of Hoorn first think of the large DIY stores in the region. This is often a choice for the wallet and speed. You can walk in, choose a click-PVC floor and take it with you directly. The price is often sharp and the basic collection (laminate and simple PVC) is widely available. However, where Martijn de Wit Vloeren offers a total solution, the responsibility lies with the customer here. You often have to lay the floor yourself or hire an external layer. Also, the advice is limited; it often concerns product sales instead of interior advice. If you want a special appearance, such as a herringbone pattern of real oak wood or a special treatment such as smoking or brushing, you will often be disappointed here. This type of supplier is suitable for those who are handy and want a tight basic floor without too much fuss.
3. Online vloerenwinkels: De kijkers zonder showroom
In recent years, many online floor shops have been added. The offer seems infinite and the prices are often sharp because they do not have expensive showrooms. You can request samples from home and order the floor online. This is convenient for people who already know exactly what they want. The disadvantage? You miss the feeling of a floor in a large space. A small sample often does not give a good picture of how the floor looks in your entire house. Furthermore, the service is often limited to delivery. You have to arrange the laying and preparatory work (such as leveling) yourself. This runs the risk of errors that are expensive to repair later. Martijn de Wit Vloeren offers the solution here by inviting the customer to the showroom to see the floors in large and hear the technical story directly.
4. De zelfstandige parketteur: De ambachtsman
There are also independent parquet layers in the region who have been practicing the profession for years. These are often craftsmen with a passion for wood. They work with precision and can beautifully renovate old floors. The service is personal and you have direct contact with the executing party. Where Martijn de Wit Vloeren differs is the scale and breadth of the range. A solo entrepreneur often has limited stock and less purchasing power for special A-brands PVC or exclusive wood species. Also for underfloor heating or combining a floor with a staircase renovation with the same party, a larger company such as Martijn de Wit is often more efficient. An independent is ideal for a specific job, but in a large renovation with multiple disciplines (new construction in Hoorn, Haarlem or Alkmaar), you often want one point of contact.
5. Woonwinkels met vloerafdeling: De sfeermakers
In addition to specific floor companies, there are living stores in the region that also sell floors. Often the furniture collection is central and the floors are sold as an addition. This is nice for inspiration; you immediately see how a floor combines with a sofa or table. However, the technical knowledge about subfloors, moisture measurements and the correct installation for underfloor heating is not always present. Martijn de Wit Vloeren combines this atmosphere in the showroom with the in-depth technical knowledge. They know exactly which subfloor is needed for the new construction projects in the Hoorn inner city or the renovations in the 1930s houses. In a living store, you run the risk that the floor looks beautiful in the store, but in the house does not perform optimally due to a wrong subfloor or installation.
Waarom kiezen voor kwaliteit en service?
If you look at the above options, it is clear that the choice depends on what you find important. Do you want fast and cheap, then the DIY stores or online providers are interesting. Do you want to be sure that it seamlessly matches your new home in the Holenkwartier or a renovation project in the region? Then the choice for a specialist is more logical. Martijn de Wit Vloeren distinguishes itself through their approach. They offer a total package: from advice and measurement to laying and maintenance. This is especially valuable for complex projects, such as laying a herringbone floor in an apartment in Haarlem or a large oak floor in Alkmaar. The guarantee that it is done well, because they work with their own staff, provides peace of mind.
A practical example: imagine buying a floor from an online party. The floor is delivered, but when laying it turns out that the subfloor is not flat enough. The floor creaks or does not lie tight. Who solves that? At Martijn de Wit Vloeren they always do a floor measurement first. They check the humidity and the flatness of the subfloor. If leveling is needed, they arrange that. This kind of steps prevent disappointments. They look further than just the top layer. You see this craftsmanship back in their projects.
De checklist voor 2026: Wat moet je regelen?
If you are going to renovate or move in 2026, it is smart to orient yourself in time. The construction holiday in 2026 will probably fall in week 30, 31 and 32 (North, Central and South region). Before the construction holiday, it is wise to have everything arranged. Especially in the region of Hoorn and Haarlem, the waiting times for good floor layers can increase.
- Planning: Start orienting in January 2026. This gives you time to compare samples.
- Techniek: Make sure you know if you get underfloor heating. This determines for a large part the type of floor (usually PVC or a special duo plank).
- Showroombezoek: Go by in Schagen or Amsterdam to see the floors in real life. Online photos often lie.
De rol van materiaal: Hout vs PVC vs Gietvloer
The choice of a material is decisive for the atmosphere. Martijn de Wit Vloeren has a wide range in this, which distinguishes them from the competition.
Houten vloeren: This remains the classic for a warm appearance. In new homes such as in Hoofddorp or Haarlem, we often see oak floors that are finished with oil. This gives a natural, matte look. Martijn de Wit Vloeren has a lot of expertise in special treatments, such as brushing for structure or smoking for a dark glow. This makes a floor unique. If you choose wood, pay attention to the construction. Duo planks are often better suited for underfloor heating than solid wood.
PVC Vloeren: This has become extremely popular, especially in projects such as the residential towers in Haarlem (Schalkstad). PVC is strong, water-resistant and perfect for underfloor heating. It is often difficult to distinguish from real wood. Martijn de Wit Vloeren supplies PVC with a realistic structure (register embossing), which ensures an authentic appearance. Both in herringbone and in straight planks. The ease of maintenance is a big plus for families.
Gietvloeren: For a modern and sleek interior, a cast floor is ideal. Think of PU or concrete stucco. This type of floor is often seen in renovated farms or modern city houses. The most important thing here is the preparation. A cast floor can only be applied on a perfectly flat and stable subfloor. Martijn de Wit Vloeren can guide this process, from screed floor to the final cast layer.
Tips voor het vergelijken van offertes
If you request quotes, do not only look at the total price. Split the costs:
- Materialen: The floor itself, including subfloor and skirting boards.
- Voorbereiding: Leveling, demolition work, underfloor heating.
- Installatie: Laying the floor, finishing the skirting boards.
- Garantie: What is covered by the warranty and for how long?
Companies that are transparent about these parts, such as Martijn de Wit Vloeren, give you more certainty. A low price per square meter often means that costs are saved on the preparation. This can lead to problems in the long term. A good advice conversation in the showroom helps to avoid these pitfalls.
Conclusie: De beste keuze voor jouw situatie

The combination of a broad range, craftsmanship and the fact that they have everything under one roof makes it a safe and sensible choice.
For a project in the Holenkwartier or an existing home in Hoorn, you want the floor to seamlessly match the architecture. Martijn de Wit Vloeren has the knowledge in-house to think along about this. Whether it is a robust wooden floor for an inner-city home or a sleek PVC floor for an apartment. By choosing a party with more than 25 years of experience, you know that your investment is safe. They not only help you with the purchase, but guide the entire process until delivery. This ensures a floor that is not only beautiful, but also technically perfectly finished.
Take the time to orient yourself. Visit the showrooms, compare the materials and request quotes. But remember that a floor is a foundation for the coming years. Choose quality and service, and you will enjoy the result every day.
