When building a new home, one of the biggest decisions comes when selecting flooring. It goes without saying you want your new flooring to reflect your personality and style while being both functional and easy to maintain. The solution? Luxury vinyl plank! Luxury vinyl plank, also referred to as LVP, is a type of flooring that mimics the look of hardwood or stone. With so many benefits, we just can’t get enough of this flooring! If you’ve been on the fence about what kind of flooring is right for you, luxury vinyl plank may be the perfect option! Here’s why:
Variety
Luxury vinyl plank is available in a wide range of colors and styles. Depending on the brand, planks are available in a variety of widths often ranging from five to seven inches across. If you prefer the look of tile, opt for a luxury vinyl tile which replicates the look of stone. The benefit of using a luxury vinyl tile is the added warmth and cushion from the cork backing.
Durability
Unlike traditional vinyl, luxury vinyl plank cannot be dented, punctured, or scratched. In addition, luxury vinyl plank is resistant to the extreme temperature changes and high humidity that can cause hardwood and laminate flooring to warp. These things, combined with the fact LVP is 100% waterproof make it perfect for use in commercial spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, as well as homes with active families and pets.
Easy to Install
Installing luxury vinyl plank is a breeze! There’s no need to remove existing flooring if the surface is relatively flat. LVP can be installed right over most subfloors including cement, tile, and laminate. Installing most luxury vinyl plank systems is as simple as “clicking” the planks together to lock them into place. Other options include gluing the planks down or loose laying them.
Low-Maintenance
Cleaning luxury vinyl plank is simple. All you need is a mop and soap and water! In between mopping, LVP can be swept or dusted using a dry mop. If you do decide to use a floor cleaner, look for one specially made for luxury vinyl planks like Bona.
