Is LVP a good choice for me?
You likely already know what LVP is if you’ve been reading up. If not, check out this article from last fall. LVP or Luxury Vinyl Plank is an exceptional alternative to expensive solid surface flooring and can be a great addition to your home. But how do you know if it’s right for your home? Read on, and we’ll tell you why this should be on your shortlist of flooring options.
Not your Grandmother’s Vinyl
Don’t be so quick to dismiss the “vinyl” part of LVP. This is light years beyond the linoleum flooring your parents or grandparents installed in the kitchen with a big roll and a staple gun. LVP is the latest iteration of a flooring product that is durable, easy to care for and looks great.
Installed in planks, much like a hardwood floor, LVP is available in contemporary colors and styles. And LVP can be installed over existing hard surfaces making installation almost as easy as rolling out linoleum – only it looks and feels better.
Are You Looking for a Durable Option?
Yes, LVP is an efficient option. But it’s also meant to stand up to wear and tear, making it a solid choice for homes with kids and pets. Most people replace their flooring due to the breakdown that comes with wear and tear over time. LVP is meant to last, so you’ll be able to enjoy it longer and save even more.
If your bustling house includes kids (and their friends) and pets, you should consider this for its ability to last even under years of soccer cleats, roller skates and years of muddy paws tracking the outdoors inside.
Can Flooring Be Safer?
Since LVP is a smooth, hard surface, it can be safer for many. If your home includes older folks with trouble walking, toddlers or anyone unsure of their footing, you should consider this. Area rugs and textured floors can present a unique challenge for some. And if your wall-to-wall carpet is older, it can pucker or bunch up in places, creating a trip hazard.
Luxury Vinyl Planking is smooth and can keep even the most highly trafficked areas seamless and safe.
Is LVP Affordable?
Most people don’t have an unlimited budget when it comes to flooring. And when shopping for flooring, many will limit their options based on price. Pricing on LVP can open up many more options and still include style and durably where other hard flooring options might not.
As you shop for flooring, add LVP to your list of considerations. It can meet a lot of needs in most homes. Shop through options anytime online at Sloane’s Carpet Secret or make an appointment, and our team would be thrilled to assist you.
