Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury vinyl Plank, or LVP, is vinyl flooring made to mimic the look of natural wood, stone, or porcelain tile, and because of this it’s available in a wide variety of colors and styles.
It comes in tiles or planks, to reinforce the look of whatever material it is replicating. The manufacturing processes have become so sophisticated that they’re able to perfectly replicate the natural grains in wood and the texture of tiles all while offering the same advantages of vinyl flooring. LVP can even be installed with real grouting to make it appear even more realistic. In terms of cost, LVP is less expensive than traditional hard flooring options, while still giving the same look that they offer. You can find the LVP flooring that is perfect for your home at Designer’s Magic Carpet and Flooring in San Clemente, California.
Homeowners are able to get the rich look of wood, stone or tile at a lower price. In certain instances as well, LVP has an advantage over sheet vinyl in that the waste factor can be lower. With sheet vinyl, there will oftentimes be a large segment not used, depending on the dimensions of the room being installed. With LVP the amount of material needed is able to be more precise since it’s in smaller segments, thus reducing the amount of material waste. One of LVP’s biggest advantages is it’s water resistant properties, which make it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, places where there is a lot of moisture and a higher probability of flooding.
LVP makes it possible for homeowners to have the look of wood in these areas without the consequences of water damage. Another advantage is its durability. LVP is favored by interior designers and commercial builders for both its style and its ability to withstand heavy traffic. Since most LVPs are commercially rated, that makes them especially good options for residential applications as well. LVP have specially developed wear layers to provide scuff and dest resistance, as well as a urethane coating for added durability. LVP and vinyl flooring in general is mostly maintenance free, a simple damp mopping is usually sufficient. Special cleaning products exist for LVP and those are good to use as well, however traditional cleaning products should be avoided because they may affect the finish. The manufacturer’s warranty should provide more information on the proper cleaning procedures.
