Pro Tip from Mini Eric
Look for LVP with a rigid core (like COREtec) rather than flexible vinyl. It's more stable, hides subfloor imperfections better, and feels more like real hardwood!
Common Questions About Luxury Vinyl
Is luxury vinyl really waterproof?
Yes! Today's quality LVP and LVT are 100% waterproof. You can install them in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and mudrooms without worrying about water damage.
How does LVP compare to real hardwood?
LVP offers similar aesthetics at a lower price point. It's more durable, waterproof, and easier to maintain. Hardwood can increase home value more and can be refinished, but LVP is the practical choice for busy households.
Can luxury vinyl go over existing flooring?
In many cases, yes. LVP can often be installed over existing hard surfaces like tile or vinyl. Visit our showroom and we'll help assess your specific situation.
How long does luxury vinyl last?
Quality luxury vinyl typically lasts 15-25 years with proper care. The wear layer thickness is key—look for 12mil or higher for residential use, 20mil+ for commercial durability.
