WHAT IS LVP FLOORING?

It’s waterproof. Scratch-proof. Stain-proof. That’s already a lot of proof as to why Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring is a top player in the flooring game. But when you add in its ability to fight moisture, withstand high temps, and thwart everyday wear from stampedes of tiny feet and mischievous paws, it’s clear why LVP flooring is the MVP of many homes around the country.

We all know vinyl flooring to be that thin & flexible material often used as an affordable alternative to the hardwoods & tiles we love. But what sets luxury vinyl, or LVP, apart is its thick, durable layer on top. This hero layer is made up of multiple other layers consisting of a hearty back, a stylish top (with the wood or stone looks we crave), and then a double-duty protective coating that keeps scratches and wear away. It all adds up to exceptionally well-made material that is undeniably gorgeous, durable, and affordable.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LVP FLOORING?

Now that we know what LVP is, what makes it so superior? For starters, a lot of things! Here are just a few of the benefits of LVP flooring:

  • Great look, great value: If it looks and feels like wood or stone, it must be wood or stone. With LVP, you get the same great look and texture, but at an affordable price. Plus, with LVP’s durability and versatility, it’s perfect for all rooms in the home, including bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Easy Installation: Designed to be as quick and turnkey as possible, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring is among the easiest to install. With USA Flooring’s expert team, installation of your LVP floor will be an absolute breeze!
  • Durable & Pet-friendly: With LVP’s hero top layer, even the most rambunctious kids and pets will be no match for LVP’s scratch-scuff-stain-water-resistant shield. It’s the kind of durability you’ll continue to thank for years to come.
  • Effortless: Easy installation, easy maintenance, easy on the pocketbook, and easy on the eyes. Let’s face it, people love Luxury Vinyl Plank because it’s just plain easy!
