Vinyl plank flooring is an excellent choice for homeowners who want a beautiful, durable floor without spending a premium. In many cases, that applies to families with pets and young children, as both can be rough on flooring.
Luxury vinyl plank flooring can stand up to paws and little feet. It’s easy to clean and often waterproof, so if one of life’s little messes happens, simply grab the mop and clean it in minutes.
Luxury Vinyl Planks(LVP) is a type of resilient flooring that replicates the appearance of natural materials, such as wood or stone, with a high level of realism. It has gained popularity for its durability, water resistance, and versatility in design.
LVP is made of multiple layers, typically including a wear layer, a printed design layer, a core layer, and a backing layer. These layers work together to provide strength, stability, and visual appeal.
Thanks to advanced printing technologies, luxury vinyl can closely mimic the look of hardwood, stone, or ceramic tiles. This allows for a wide range of design options.
LVP is known for its durability and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. The wear layer protects against scratches, stains, and fading, making it suitable for various spaces, including high-traffic areas.
Unlike some natural materials, luxury vinyl is highly resistant to water. This makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Luxury vinyl is warmer and more comfortable underfoot compared to materials like ceramic or stone. It also absorbs sound, reducing noise transmission.
LVP is available in various formats, including planks and tiles. It can be installed using different methods, such as glue-down, click-lock, or loose lay, providing flexibility in installation.
Maintaining luxury vinyl is relatively easy. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping are usually sufficient to keep it clean. Unlike natural materials, it doesn’t require sealing or refinishing.
Luxury vinyl is often more affordable than its natural counterparts, offering a cost-effective option for achieving the look of hardwood or stone.
It’s a very water-resistant flooring, and luxury vinyl is only growing in popularity in many residential households and commercial businesses. Of course, it’s also important to understand the downsides of vinyl flooring.
So, here’s a look at the pros and cons of luxury vinyl plank flooring.
By far the major advantage of luxury vinyl flooring is its affordability.
LVP tends to be anywhere from five to ten times less expensive than the genuine article. Ranging from $2 to $5 per square foot, luxury vinyl can be quite a bit more affordable than wood floors and even carpeting.
Add to that the fact that installation is much easier, and therefore much less costly, and you can see how LVP flooring is a bargain.
A worry-free and easy installation is one of the main selling points of vinyl composite flooring.
The best luxury vinyl plank flooring really has come a long way in recent years.
Nowadays, they come in a large assortment of interesting colors, patterns, and textures, designed to suit the tastes of the most discriminating customers. LVP flooring is definitely seen to be superior to sheet vinyl and laminate flooring, but without the price point of actual hardwood, stone, or tile flooring.
Plus, there are the intricate texture patterns that now exist. This is done to mimic the look and feel of the real thing, and more often than not it does a great job.
Vinyl flooring is very rugged and durable over the long term.
Now, that doesn’t mean you can slack off when it comes to cleaning it. But, with proper maintenance (see below), you really can look forward to enjoying your luxury vinyl plank flooring for many years.
Simply put: luxury vinyl floors are very easy to maintain and repair.
Cleaning these floors usually requires little more than regular sweeping, and a little weekly once-over with a damp mop or even a Swiffer. Anything more rigorous, such as a steam cleaning, is not recommended.
Repair, should it become necessary, is also relatively easier with luxury vinyl than with other types of flooring. When you install the floor, there’s usually a box of planks left over, which can be used to replace a damaged plank or planks.
Despite the emphasis on different textures and photorealistic surfaces, the quality of luxury vinyl can sometimes vary, even among the top brands.
That’s why it’s important to consider the construction and thickness of the product when choosing the best luxury vinyl plank. Thicker vinyl flooring is always best since it’s more durable and resilient. And look for rigid-core vinyl, with four layers of material for added strength.
Glue Down Installation: Once the flooring is down, it will be difficult to remove should you change your mind later on.
This is because the adhesive glue that affixes the planks to the subfloor is not easy to remove. Still, should it become necessary, removal is possible without professional help. But it’s going to be a lot of hard work.
If you go with some of the less expensive LVP brands, they might not have UV-resistant protective layers.
And this can mean fading to your floor in areas with excessive exposure to sunlight. This is why choosing the right brand of flooring is crucial.
