Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Yes, LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) is indeed waterproof! While the performance can vary between brands, we have meticulously selected only high-quality products for our offerings. We have years of experience installing LVP in bathrooms, and our clients consistently report no issues with water damage. You can shop with confidence, knowing that our LVP selections are designed to withstand moisture.

Absolutely! Many LVP manufacturers permit installations over existing tile. To ensure a seamless surface, we fill in the grout joints, allowing us to lay the new flooring directly on top. It’s essential, however, to assess potential height differences between rooms. If part of your space features tile and another part has carpet, removing the carpet would result in uneven flooring levels. Our team is here to provide guidance on the most cost-effective and suitable installation approach for your home, ensuring a seamless finish.

While LVP is exceptionally durable and resistant to scratches, it is important to note that it is not entirely scratch-proof. It stands up well to everyday wear and tear, making it an excellent choice for homes. However, sharp or abrasive objects, such as heavy furniture or appliances, can potentially cause damage. If you have pets and are concerned about longevity, we recommend selecting a product with a thicker wear layer for optimal performance.

The timeframe for installation can vary based on several factors, including the size of your home, its layout, the number of stories, and the type of flooring being removed. Generally, our crews can complete the installation of a full 2,000 to 3,000 square-foot house within a week or less. For smaller projects, we typically aim to finish in under a week, covering everything from the removal of the existing flooring to the final coat of paint on your new baseboards.

Quality is paramount! Lower-quality floors are often thin (around 5mm or less) and come with limited wear layers, leading to diminished durability under everyday use. Cheaper LVP products frequently struggle with water resistance, both from surface moisture and moisture that’s produced from the slab foundation. These inferior options may also experience failures in their locking systems, posing aesthetic and safety concerns. Additionally, investing in a higher-quality product not only enhances the floor's performance but also elevates its appearance, making it difficult to distinguish from real wood. Spending a little more for a thicker plank with a robust wear layer and superior locking system can significantly extend the life of your flooring—often lasting two to three times longer.
