what is lvp

LVP stands for Luxury Vinyl Plank, which is a type of vinyl flooring that comes in individual planks. LVP is a composite product made of several layers, each working together to create a resilient, low-maintenance flooring. The bottom layer is a flexible base made of PVC for stability, and the central core provides the strength for the flooring, making it water-resistant rather than waterproof. LVP is a more flexible product than some of the other vinyl products on the market, but its strength is aided by the fact that it is a glue-down flooring, permanently affixed to the subfloor with adhesive. LVP has near-infinite options for looks mimicking other materials like wood and stone and can add splashes of color or patterns/grains to match any décor. LVP is durable, waterproof, and low-maintenance, making it an ideal choice for areas prone to spills, moisture, or humidity, like the kitchen or the bathroom.
