LVP flooring
LVP is short for luxury vinyl plank flooring. Though it’s made from vinyl and not wood, it still comes with the nice warm look of a real wood floor. LVP is a great choice when you want a great-looking, durable floor at an affordable price. Other benefits include:
- Water resistant — LVP floors are installed with multiple waterproof layers to prevent mold and mildew. This water resistance just adds to the durability LVP floors are known for. When thinking about your specific needs, LVP is a great option for kitchens, bathrooms and other moisture-prone areas.
- Easy to clean — LVP floors are easy to clean, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas and homes with children and pets. The antimicrobial properties of LVP floors also help block the growth of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
- Visually versatile — LVP floors come in a variety of colors and patterns. When considering LVP vs. engineered hardwood, you may want to think about the appearance you’re going for. While both flooring types can be beautiful, LVP offers an especially large range of options.
In addition to these points, LVP flooring has other significant benefits. Some LVP floors, for example, come with acoustic layers and soft cores. These can bring extra comfort and noise reduction to your space.
Engineered hardwood flooring
Another popular alternative to traditional solid wood flooring is engineered hardwood. The material comes pre-finished for convenience. Engineered hardwood is a great choice for homeowners looking for easy installation and high resistance, while still retaining the natural beauty of hardwood flooring.
- Natural looking — This material is made of real hardwood veneer combined with multiple core layers of plywood or MDF (medium-density fiberboard) core planks. This real hardwood material gives the flooring a natural beauty.
- Comfortable — Engineered hardwood flooring provides stable underfoot rigidity that makes walking feel good. This makes it a good material for rooms frequently walked through by children and visitors.
- Stable — Hardwood is among the longest-lasting flooring materials on the market. One of these floors should show minimal signs of wear over the years, ensuring comfort and beauty for the long run.
