Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring has become a popular choice for homeowners in recent years, and for good reason. LVP offers a number of benefits over traditional hardwood flooring, making it a better choice for many homeowners. At Refloor, we understand the dilemma homeowners face when choosing flooring. LVP and hardwood have their qualities, so it’s crucial to make an informed decision that will coordinate with your lifestyle and budget. Let’s get started.

What is Luxury Vinyl Plank?

Luxury Vinyl Plank is a type of flooring that homeowners and designers love. It is made up of individual planks that click or lock together. LVP creates a seamless floor that looks like real wood or stone and has several advantages over other flooring options.

LVP and Durability

One of the biggest advantages of LVP over other flooring is its durability. LVP is made of vinyl, which is a very tough and resilient material. Refloor’s LVP is built with a ridged stone core or wood-plastic composite core, along with a 20-mil or 30-mil wear layer for dependable wear. LVP is resistant to scratches, scuffs, and dents, which makes it ideal for households with pets, children, or areas of high foot traffic. Hardwood, on the other hand, is prone to scratches and dents and can be easily damaged by water or moisture.

Luxury Vinyl Plank & Maintenance

Hardwood floors, although beautiful, need a lot of maintenance and care. LVP is much easier to maintain, and since it is highly resistant to dents, scratches, and moisture damage, its care is practically effortless. Hardwood floors will require regular sanding and refinishing to maintain its beauty, which can be time-consuming and expensive. LVP, on the other hand, can be easily cleaned with a damp mop or cloth and does not require any special chemicals, tools, or professional refinishers.

Cost Factors for LVP vs. Hardwood

In addition, professional installation often comes with a guarantee. This means that if anything goes wrong with the installation, you can have it fixed at no additional cost. This can provide peace of mind, especially if you’re spending a significant amount of money on new flooring.

Which is Better for the Environment, LVP or Hardwood?

LVP is made from recycled materials and can be recycled at the end of its lifespan, making it a more sustainable choice than hardwood. One of the biggest concerns with using hardwood is the need to cut down trees to make it, and some hardwoods, such as redwood, is in limited supply.

Design Qualities of LVP

At Refloor, we’re partial to professionally installed flooring! However, that doesn’t mean that we don’t see the benefits of doing it yourself. Let’s look at the advantages of DIY flooring.

Soundproofing and Comfort

Ask anyone who spends time in the basement of a home how loud hardwood floors can be. LVP offers better soundproofing, making it ideal for active households. In addition, LVP feels softer and warmer underfoot, enhancing the comfort level of any living space.

Choose Refloor Luxury Vinyl Plank

Overall, we think LVP is a superior choice to hardwood for many homeowners. Its durability, low maintenance requirements, cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and design versatility make it a great option for any home. LVP also holds its value well and can be easily updated or replaced, offering flexibility that hardwood floors may not provide.

In conclusion, while hardwood floors have their charm and value, LVP offers a range of benefits that make it a strong contender for your flooring needs. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of LVP and Refloor’s money-back guarantee and all-inclusive pricing.

One of the main downsides is that it can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Installing new flooring is not a small project, and it can be physically demanding, especially if you’re not used to this kind of work. This can be especially challenging if you have a large home or are working with complicated materials.
