Choosing the Right LVP for Your Home
When picking LVP flooring for your home, think about these things:
Room Use
Different rooms need different floors
Foot Traffic
Busy areas need tougher floors
Style
Match floors to your home's look
Cost
Prices can be very different
Room Use: Each room needs different flooring. For example, bathroom floors should resist water, while living room floors should be comfy and look nice.
Foot Traffic: Busy areas like entryways need tougher floors with thicker wear layers. LVP products have features with different durability limits and lifespans, so choose the right one.
Style: Pick flooring that matches your home's look. There's an LVP option for every style, whether you like modern, traditional, or mixed looks.
Cost: LVP comes at different prices. A cheap Chinese thin plank and 6 mil vinyl floor won't last long. Try to aim for a thicker planka and 12 mil wear layer or higher when deciding on what floor to buy.
Installing and Flooring Care
Most LVP is easy to install yourself. To keep your LVP looking good:
- Sweep or vacuum often to remove dirt
- Use a damp mop with mild soap for deeper cleaning
- Don't use harsh cleaners or rough scrubbers
- Put pads under furniture to prevent scratches
- Use doormats to keep dirt off the floor
