Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is an increasingly popular surface for homeowners who desire the durability and appearance of natural hardwood, stone and ceramic tiles at an affordable value. LVP was designed to mimic the look of natural materials and, through modern manufacturing processes, often rivals the real thing. LVP is softer and warmer underfoot than tile, adding an extra layer of comfort to floors. LVP withstands spills better than hardwood due to its water resistant properties. It is also thinner than hardwood and tile, and can be glued or "floated," making it easier to match existing flooring levels and hide minor subfloor imperfections during remodeling projects. LVP is a cost-effective floor covering available in a variety of rich colors, textures and sizes.
