The growing popularity of LVP flooring is not just about the low cost and easy installation—the floors themselves are beautiful! High-quality LVP can resemble authentic hardwood down to the coloration, knotting, and grain patterns with embossed-in-register technology and an advanced printing process. Some products are so good at mimicking the look and feel of natural wood flooring in planks of varying colors and thicknesses that your friends might not believe that your LVP floors are actually luxury vinyl!
All luxury vinyl plank floors are water-resistant to some extent but even better, most LVP floors on the marketplace are waterproof, meaning they can withstand small floods and household spills. This makes them a great addition to your busy household. LVP floors are perfect for the whole house, especially kitchens, entryways, basements, or any room with high foot traffic that is prone to moisture, leaks, or spills. Another bonus of LVP floors? They’re easy to clean! You only need to regularly sweep or dry mop and avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar to ensure their beauty for the long haul.
One of the most popular aspects of luxury vinyl planks is their ability to hold up well in crowded spots, thanks to their incredible wear layer. This product is an excellent option for homes with small children and pets running underfoot, as the rigid core floors are constructed out of plastic composite with various strengthening agents that can hold up against messy shoes and pet accidents.
LVP flooring is also a great buy because of the cushion and insulation that this type of flooring provides. Unlike cheap, glue-down vinyl floors, LVP flooring would not curl up over time. And because of the thickness of luxury vinyl planks, there is more protection offered by your home’s subfloor. If cheap vinyl is layered on a concrete subfloor, for example, the top of the floor is bound to be much colder. With LVP flooring, your feet are more cushioned—and warm!
LVP floors have a simple click-lock system that makes these floors easy for professionals to install. The benefit of having luxury vinyl planks that click together, as opposed to one large sheet of vinyl, is that they can better lock out moisture. Repairs to a floor with planks (versus one large sheet that would have to be ripped up) are more accessible, too.
So, what do luxury vinyl planks cost, you might be wondering? Often, upgrading your floors sounds like a great idea in theory, but it might not be within your budget. Luckily, LVP floors are an excellent choice for those looking for affordable options! LVP floors are not as expensive as natural hardwood floors or ceramic tile, and, once installed, they require very little upkeep to keep them looking new for years to come.
