LVP Benefits

When you’re in the midst of making a decision, a little pro-con list has been known as the go-to to help you land on your wisest choice. I’m sure we’ve all made one or two of these lists!

Well, if you make a pro-con list to help you make a decision about choosing LVP, we warn you that you might have an empty “con” side. Why? Well, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a reason why LVP isn’t the way to go.

Keep reading to see the top five benefits that come with LVP floors. You’ll get ideas of what you can add to your “pro” list when it comes to LVP!

Luxury Vinyl Plank Durability & Feel

LVP formulations on the market right now contain innovative additives that increase the hardness and durability of LVP products. Kids, pets, and heavy equipment don’t stand a chance to ding, dent, scuff, or scratch these floors!

All LVP products have a polyurethane wear layer which gives LVP the added benefit of anti-aging magic. Your LVP floors will look good for the long haul.

And just because they’re durable doesn’t mean LVP floors feel like your grandma’s sticky, clumpy laminate kitchen floors. LVP is smooth to glide upon and your back & feet will notice the benefit of the cushioned feel.

If you’d like to feel the grooves and wormholes in your wood mimicking LVP choice, there are products out there that can give you that feeling too.

LVP Style Variety

It’s common for customers to have a “look” in mind when they first start shopping for flooring options. One of the biggest benefits of LVP is that you are offered loads of options when it comes to how you want your LVP floors to look.

Upgrades in tech are responsible for the stellar imaging found on today’s LVP flooring. It’s made to look like an authentic version of whatever style you are going for: stone, wood, cement, etc.

Traditional aesthetic options can give you that classic feel of a hardwood floor and it can be tweaked to have a rustic vibe. And if you’re looking for a customizable design, LVP is the flooring option for you! Endless choices in shape, size, color, finish, and texture are out there. You can mix & match design styles too to create one-of-a-kind spaces.

LVP Water Resistant

People love to hear LVP is a waterproof product. Your bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room can say “hello!” to LVP floors without worrying about warping and other signs of water damage.

LVP can also be installed in areas that laminate flooring cannot because it has that waterproofing component. No need to worry about spills, pet accidents, or any other accidental water damage to your flooring!

LVP High Value & Low Maintenance

Great news – LVP gives you all the vibes of high-end, natural flooring but without the shocking price tag. Generally, you’ll see LVP products going between $2 and $5 per square foot. Compare that to the cost of hardwood which sometimes exceeds that cost by two or even three times! Ouch.

Another beauty of LVP is that the great price point comes with a limited care routine. You can sweep, mop, or vacuum any LVP floor. No wax is involved! If the floors need a bit of TLC, all you need to have is a bucket and warm soapy water.

There are even some LVP suppliers that have environmental certifications that you can count on to offer you a more eco-friendly LVP option.

LVP Installation Options

Glue-down, floating, and loose-lay are some of the ways LVP can be installed. You also have the option to lay LVP right over existing flooring or over an imperfect subfloor. How? It’s because of how LVP is constructed: it’s made to hide the unwanted parts of what it’s laid upon. LVP flooring is also a suitable flooring solution for installing over in-heat floors.

Another great part about LVP flooring is that most installation options come with varying degrees of easy plank replacement. The glue-down option offers the easiest plank replacement capability and while you need to be more skilled to replace parts of a floating or loose-lay install, it’s still possible to do without having to rip out the whole floor! We have that skill- give us a call!
