LVP Flooring FAQs
Get answers to some of the most common questions homeowners ask when considering LVP flooring.
What is the difference between LVP and traditional vinyl flooring?
LVP is the thicker and more durable version of traditional vinyl flooring. While traditional vinyl comes in a large roll that gets rolled out onto the floor and glued down, LVP floors come in individual planks, often designed to mimic hardwood, marble or stone.
Many modern options feature a multilayer design with a stone-plastic composite (SPC) or wood-plastic composite (WPC) core, which offers more cushion than the thinner, single-layer construction of traditional vinyl. LVP also features a protective top layer that provides added durability and scratch resistance.
Is LVP flooring waterproof?
Yes, LVP flooring is designed to be waterproof. Its core, whether SPC or WPC, resists moisture, making it a great option for spaces constantly exposed to moisture or humidity. The clear top layer also enhances moisture resistance. However, poor installation can create weaknesses for water infiltration. Seams between tiles and expansion gaps at the walls can create entry points for water, especially with consistent exposure.
Can LVP be installed over existing flooring?
Yes, LVP floors can be installed over your existing flooring, including concrete, hardwood and vinyl. LVP needs a smooth and stable surface to ensure durability, as it can easily contour dips and bumps in the subfloor. However, we suggest homeowners remove all carpeting before installation, as it can make it difficult for the LVP to lock.
When installing LVP over existing flooring, our installers assess the subflooring to ensure you get expert installation suited for your flooring type. If you need the existing floor to be removed, our professional installers handle every aspect of the job.
How do you repair damaged LVP?
If you have minor scratches or scuffs, a filler should do the trick. For more serious damage, the best option is to replace the affected plank. We have a wide range of flooring options, making it easier to find a match for your space.
Is LVP a good choice for homes with pets?
Yes. The floor's protective top layer helps it withstand scratches, so it can handle your pet's dents and claws. LVP is water-resistant, protecting it from everyday spills. These floors are also easy to clean, often requiring only a broom or vacuum.
How does LVP compare with hardwood flooring?
Hardwood flooring brings classic warmth and character to your home, while modern LVP flooring can also be engineered to mimic wood's warmth. Hardwood is sensitive to moisture and may need to be refurbished multiple times. LVP is moisture-resistant and doesn't need refurbishment.
