Types of Brands

Quality of LVP

Many people love having luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring in their homes. While its beauty is obviously a draw, its durability is also a massive perk. Some brands of LVP are waterproof, while others are water resistant, so it’s important to choose the option that is right for you. That's especially true if it's being installed in a high moisture area, like a laundry room, kitchen or bathroom.

LVP is also typically easy to keep clean, so make sure you’re cleaning it according to the instructions for your specific type. Typically, the vendor you buy it from will give you cleaning instructions with your purchase or, at the very least, give you tips if you ask. Follow the directions carefully, and you should have no problem keeping the flooring clean for years to come.

Another major benefit of LVP is the realistic details. When you choose a high-quality option, like Stonecreek SPC click flooring, it will look like genuine wood, making it an impressive replacement for hardwood.

Choosing a Vinyl Plank Flooring Brand

There are several ways to choose a vinyl plank flooring brand that meets your preferences and specifications. For starters, look at various brands' reputations and reviews. If a brand has a background filled with poor reviews, customer complaints, and negative client experiences, you may want to consider another option.

You’ll also want to look into the selection of vinyl plank flooring and its cost, then decide if the cost aligns with the quality of the products. The more features and benefits vinyl plank flooring has, the pricier it’s likely to be, but it’s important to look at it as an investment in your home. You don't want exceptionally cheap flooring that's going to scratch, dent and wear down with the slightest bit of use.

Make sure to also check out where you can get the products of the brand you want. Some brands are exclusives, which means they’re available only in certain places. See if you can get the products shipped to you or to the person installing your flooring or if you can get them in-store.
