Flooring to use in Nova Scotia beach house with no heat in winter?
Purchases old ocean front house in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. Plan on renovating and using seasonally. Will be winterized with plumbing antifreeze and no heat or electric in Winter.

Hello. I would think a hard pine flooring, or tile would be the best.
Looks amazing ! I used a textured peel and stick wood look vinyl planking. It looks great and was super inexpensive. It's waterproof and very easy to put down, I don't see why it would lift in cold temperatures.
Bernadette, I can tell you don't use vinyl plank. It has extreme expansion/contraction ratios in an unconditioned area. Engineered hardwood is extremely stable in temperature swings.
Maybe landscap ties they are pretty durable or railroad ties
I would use artificial pvc planking from menards. It wont warp or expand
It looks real and is relatively cheap. I think they call it deck planking
