When it is time for a homeowner to consider what type of flooring to install, they should look at 4 key benefits of luxury vinyl plank and put LVP at the top of the list.
Luxury vinyl plank is affordable.
Compared to hardwood LVP comes in well under budget. Compared to laminate it is slightly higher priced. Most importantly the value of LVP is higher than both hardwood and laminate flooring for the following reasons.
Luxury vinyl plank flooring is durable.
LVP’s top wear layer can hold up to busy high traffic areas of the home. LVP is pet friendly because most brands are either water resistant or 100% waterproof. It is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Many homeowners install LVP in every room in the house. Which minimizes the need for transition strips and contributes to the clean open look of a house.
Luxury vinyl plank is easy to install.
LVP can in some cases be placed over old flooring which eliminates the need to demolish and remove old flooring. The click and lock mechanism allow the flooring to be floated and held together with secure tongue and groove connections. That means no expensive glues are necessary and future changes to the flooring are much simpler.
Luxury vinyl plank is on trend.
LVP is popular with interior designers because of the economical way it gives the look and feel of hardwood. The savings can then be put into other interior design elements. This is especially important when the interior designer wants to use wide planks because 7-to-9-inch hardwood planks sell at premium prices.
The installation shown in these pictures are a good example of how luxury vinyl plank can quickly upgrade the look of a home.

It is a 9 inch wide plank that comes in 5 foot lengths which gives variety to the look and it fits well with the current design trend for wide plank flooring.
