Intro to Luxury Vinyl

When deciding on installing new luxury vinyl floors, it’s important to consider all of your options. There are multiple different types of LV that can be matched to your needs and lifestyle. For example, there are traditional planks that are made up of vinyl instead of wood (LVP), or peel and stick vinyl plank look-alikes. While these two are similar, LVP is more durable and tends to be easier to install. Another benefit of luxury vinyl floors is that they are stain resistant and dampen noise better than traditional hardwood floors, making them great for households with pets and children. LV floors create a sleek and attractive surface for your space, making it easy to keep your home beautiful and clean. To complete your space you can add transitions, mouldings, or additional trim pieces.
