You will seldom find a room with carpeted floors featured in design magazines. At least for now, carpet is out and hard floors are in!
Hardwood and flooring that looks similar to hardwood are among the most popular types of flooring. But, solid wood floors require a lot of care and don’t fare well in humid environments. And, engineered wood floors show age but can’t be refinished like solid wood.
The solution: luxury vinyl plank (LVP), which has the look of wood with the benefits of vinyl.
4 Advantages of LVP Flooring
Water Resistance
Unlike real wood flooring, LVP is water resistant. This makes it ideal for use in rooms such as bathrooms and basements and humid areas like Florida.
2. Durability
LVP is ideal for families and pet owners because it is resistant to scratches and damage.
3. Low Maintenance
There is no need to bother with recoating and refinishing. Caring for LVP flooring simply requires sweeping and mopping with a mild cleaner.
4. Elevated Style
Some homeowners choose flooring that has the look of wood but requires grout. Real wood floors don’t have grout lines and are a dead giveaway that you have a fake. Karndean LVP is a hand-scraped wood product that we regularly install in high-end, luxury homes.
With LVP, you can have the best of both worlds: flooring that is both beautiful and functional.
