The Truth about Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Flooring!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Watch as Bryan explains what makes Luxury Vinyl Plank unique and such a great option to consider when looking for new flooring.
Luxury Vinyl Plank or LVP
1. All of them are water proof. - They do not make your sub-floor waterproof but LVP repels the water and does not allow water to reach your sub floor.
2. Vinyl Customized Look - finish actual can feel like a wood grain.
3. Wear layer rating protection rated from 6, 8, 12, 20 mil options. The higher the rating the more durable it is.
4. LVP is not scratch proof, but one of the greatest things with LVP is you can replace one small piece of LVP at a time. Not need to remove half your floor just to get to the damaged piece.
5. Two types of cores: Wood vs. Stone Both are very durable but the difference between the two is the pounds per square inch (psi) they can resist.
* Wood - Resists up to 400 psi. Be more flexible along your floor and relax against your floor.
* Stone - Resists up to 2000 psi. Is more stiff and if you do not have a smooth floor its possible that there could be some clapping when walking along the flooring.
6. Great for the DIY (do it yourself) flooring option. Its a floating floor and you do not glue it down. Easier Installation.
LVP can even be installed on top of Tile. Just make sure follow some specific guidelines to get the best results.

    Hello! Yes, a 12 mil. layer should hold up nicely for a family! Be sure to avoid dragging heavy furniture or anything else with sharp edges across your floor to avoid scratches.

    Hello! We are sorry to hear about the scratches on your floor. If you have a thinner wear layer (6 or 8) then scratches and scuffs are more likely to happen. If you have pets, children, or large families, we recommend getting LVP with a thicker wear layer (12 or 20).

    Ummm… balancing layer anyone? Umm stone polymer - calcium carbonate aka - chalk - not good with water - ummm wood polymer - aka plastic and “wood” not good with water - Product put in water is a nice trick but zero ambient conditions or alkalinity issues introduced You mentioned quarter inch gap Lol why? Exactly expansion and contraction - why is that ? Exactly Flood your house and see how that product reacts. You’re actually part of the misinformation problem on these products. Customers believe you. As an installer and moisture testing professional, I can tell you these products are a nightmare. I haven’t even got into the Sun coming in through your French doors and heating these products well over 100 degrees. By the way- zero warranty from the Sun Purchase at your own risk and buy a product with a balancing layer at a minimum
