Tag Vinyl

In our tech-oriented world of the 21st century, acronyms are everywhere – and it’s perfectly OK not to know what the heck they stand for! With respect to flooring, LVP is one of those acronyms that isn’t immediately obvious: Luxury Vinyl Plank. There are other acronyms for the same basic thing, including VPF (vinyl plank flooring) and LVT (luxury vinyl tile) to name a few. But generally speaking, these are all talking about the same type of flooring. So what is LVP flooring? Simply put, a vinyl floor product that takes a beating while maintaining its luster!

LVP – Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring

This vinyl product isn’t like your granddad’s vinyl floor. It doesn’t come on a roll. This flooring comes in planks that fit together seamlessly, with authentic wood look finishes that resist moisture and stand up to high traffic. Most of these products are multi-layered and consist of a strong core, built to last, topped with a damage-resistant finish that will last a long time under abusive foot traffic, even from pets and toddlers. They are also very low maintenance; just sweep and mop like you would any floor and they will continue to look fabulous.

Valued for its moisture resistance, LVP vinyl plank flooring is a mainstay for bathroom and kitchen updates. Wood laminates simply don’t hold up to wet conditions of a bathroom or kitchen area. LVP flooring installations are straightforward and the product tailor-made for wet-area usage. Luxury vinyl plank is a smart, sensible solution for quick bath and kitchen updates.

But as with all flooring, there are decisions to make and lots of factors to consider. Brands vary in things like core strength, water resistance, ease of installation, authenticity of the finish (weather it really looks like the material it’s supposed to look like), and cost. You can easily get a professional opinion and estimate for re-flooring areas of your home or business using LVP. Just fill out our form and request an estimate.
