WHAT IS LUXURY VINYL PLANK (LVP) FLOORING?

Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring, also called LVP flooring is a top-tier form of vinyl flooring that comes in planks rather than a single large sheet or an array of many tiles. This innovative method of flooring is especially valuable for a few important reasons.

The popularity of the luxury vinyl flooring industry has risen to new heights because of the special benefits this impressive flooring provides to homeowners. Because of a remarkable capacity to withstand the attrition of floor traffic and other scratches, spills and stains, vinyl flooring is the very best thing for all types of situations and locations.

Furthermore, who wouldn’t want the beauty of rich mahogany in their home

But before you fall in love with an impressive form of flooring, wait until we get into the details of what makes this form of flooring especially beneficial.

Characteristics of Hardwood

LVP flooring is shooting to the top-seller list because it hits all the most important selling points. LVP is cost-effective, easy to install and absolutely gorgeous. Top-quality LVP can resemble hardwood floors so perfectly only an expert could tell the difference after a close inspection. All the original graining and beautiful textures. The very best options on the market are capable of creating a similitude so exact, that it could confuse a carpenter.

Easy to Install

LVP floors are especially simple to lay down, they have a click-lock system that makes them especially easy to lay down. The advantage of the click-lock system is that each individual plank will click into place with the others. This provides a better moisture barrier than the other options that exist in a single large piece. Because the process is so simple and painless, many homeowners with intermediate DIY skills will want to handle the task themselves and save some cash. Repair work is also very easy; just remove the damaged plank, slip the new piece into place and voila! — you’re done!

Waterproof

Vinyl has a reputation of being an especially water-resistant material, but LVP takes this advantage to a whole new level. LVP can withstand large spills and small floods, making them the perfect addition to a home. LVP is a great option for just about any room in the house including the entrance and living room, kitchen, basements and any other room that will possibly face a water mess. Another bonus of the impressive LVP floor, they are especially easy to clean.

Durable

Another good quality of the LVP floor is that this material is especially durable and can withstand the attrition of the most intense foot traffic. This makes it an especially good option for homes with small kids or large pets. The tough plastic composites and strengthening agents applied in the construction of a LVP floor will withstand the most intense attacks.

Low-Cost

With all these advantages, you may be wondering what the cost for such a fortuitous type of flooring is going to be. Upgrading a floor may seem like a smart idea in concept, but when it comes time to crunch the numbers, reality can bite real hard. The good news is that LVP and EVP floors are both cost-effective types of flooring. LVP has the beauty and durability of a hardwood floor at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, after they have been easily installed, they will last many years with minimal attention.

Wait, so what’s EVP then?

Engineer Vinyl Planks, or EVP, is a subcategory of LVP. EVP can also be made to look astonishingly like a hardwood floor. These are also an especially durable type of flooring materials and are constructed in several different layers fused together.

LVP vs. LVT

We have LVP and LVT, but what is the difference between the two? Luxury vinyl planks and Luxury vinyl tiles may seem similar but there are some differences. The two are quite different depending on what type of floor they are attempting to emulate. LVPs are constructed to look just like a hardwood floor, therefore they will be presented in long planks. LVTs on the other hand are designed to look like a tile floor and will therefore take on a tile shape and many of the colors, textures and styles of a tile floor.
