Get luxury vinyl plank flooring with Kuhn Flooring.
A new up and comer in the South Florida flooring industry is luxury plank vinyl. This flooring type has some great qualities that are making it the most popular choice right now. Believe it or not, at one point, home and business owners alike looked at the vinyl flooring world as one of the worst options available. However, a ton of science and engineering has gone into making luxury plank vinyl very realistic looking with more durability and longevity than even some standard hardwoods.
Plank vinyl flooring is also known as Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or Luxury Vinyl Floor (LVF). This type of flooring uses the same materials as typical vinyl flooring but comes in strips that are long and narrow opposed to the more common square vinyl tiles. These long boards help the flooring look more like authentic wood as well as make it easier to install because it takes fewer pieces to fill your space.
“… a ton of science and engineering has gone into making luxury plank vinyl very realistic looking with more durability and longevity than even some standard hardwoods.”
Three things increase the quality of luxury vinyl flooring: graphic designs, thickness, and embossed texture.
Luxury vinyl flooring is more affordable than many other flooring options on the market.
When most of us think of vinyl, we think of an affordable flooring option, and luxury plank vinyl is no exception. Homeowners often choose this type of flooring over traditional hardwood as it cost significantly less than other natural options. That being said, you will find that the higher the quality of the vinyl, the more costly the flooring will be per square foot. Typically, the costs of VPF is about the same as that of traditional tile, but you still come out ahead because you don’t have to buy thin set, grout, or mortar for the installation of luxury vinyl plank flooring. Also, due to time and ease of installation, the cost of the installation itself is generally more affordable than that of tile or hardwood. If price is a factor in your flooring consideration, it is critical to consider vinyl flooring an option as it has an over all lower cost when being compared to many other flooring types from start to installation.
The Pros of Luxury Plank Vinyl Flooring:
The Cons of Luxury Plank Vinyl Flooring:
When it comes to size of luxury plank vinyl:
There are two standard lengths and widths for LVF: 36 or 48 inches long and 6 to 7 ¾ inches wide. This differs from real wood significantly as you can purchase most natural woods in much longer lengths and almost any width. Though these are the standard installation plank sizes, some luxury planks will have different wood plank sizes printed on them, and the size of the plank itself will not necessarily denote the overall look of the wood size in your home.
When it comes to the different styles of luxury plank vinyl:
There are two common styles of plank graphics: first are single planks of vinyl which look like a single plank of wood, the second style is vinyl plank that looks like multiple pieces of wood. Typically, larger wood planks have more embossing and detail in the flooring. In contrast, planks that are designed to look like many different pieces of wood per each plank of vinyl have less room on each individual printed plank for as much detail. When considering which of these two flooring style options to go with, you should remember that larger planks can look more elegant but can also make a space look smaller. In contrast the smaller planks can help a room look larger and homier. It all depends what kind of feel you are looking for in your house.
“One of the benefits of choosing vinyl over natural wood is that you can select colors and styles that might not be easy to obtain… most styles or shades of vinyl cost the same.”
When it comes to your customization of luxury plank vinyl:
One of the benefits of choosing vinyl over natural wood is that you can select colors and styles that might not be easy to obtain. Buying certain types of wood might be more expensive than more common woods; however, most styles or shades of vinyl cost the same.
For example, the distinctive color and beautiful grain of mahogany is a favorite of many; however, it is a rarer wood and therefore more expensive. Compare that to luxury vinyl flooring that looks like mahogany, which would likely cost you no more than that which looks like oak.
