Luxury vinyl plank is the floor we install more than any other, and the reason is simple: it is the only surface that is genuinely waterproof, comfortable to stand on, convincing as wood, and affordable enough to run through an entire house. Those four things almost never appear together.

Genuinely waterproof, not water-resistant. A rigid-core LVP plank can sit in standing water without swelling. That is what makes it the correct specification for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements and anywhere a household with kids or pets lives.
Comfortable underfoot. Softer and warmer than tile, quieter than laminate with the right underlayment. In a kitchen, where you stand for hours, this is the difference people notice most after installation.
Convincing wood and stone visuals. Current LVP uses embossed-in-register texture, so the grain you see lines up with the texture you feel. Wide planks, matte finishes, varied plank faces.
One material, whole house. Because it works in wet rooms and dry rooms alike, LVP can run continuously through an entire floor with no transitions. That single detail makes homes feel larger and more considered than any other flooring decision.
Straightforward repairs. A damaged plank in a glue-down or click installation can usually be replaced without disturbing the surrounding floor.
A wide range of full-size samples and displays to see real finishes and textures in person.
Access to expert designers who provide personalized recommendations.
Side-by-side product comparisons to help you confidently select materials.
A seamless transition from inspiration to design to installation.
Type | Construction | Best for |
|---|---|---|
Rigid mineral core | The most dimensionally stable option — best over uneven subfloors, sunrooms, and anywhere with big temperature swings. See our SPC guide | |
WPC (wood plastic composite) | Rigid composite core | Softer and warmer underfoot than SPC, with more sound absorption — bedrooms, living areas |
Glue-down LVP / LVT | Flexible, adhered to substrate | Very high traffic and large open areas; requires the flattest subfloor |
Tile-format vinyl | Stone and ceramic looks without the cold or the grout. See LVP vs LVT |
The two specifications that determine how your floor ages are wear layer thickness and core type. A 12 mil wear layer is entry-level residential; 20 mil handles dogs, kids and high traffic and is what we recommend for most whole-home projects. Everything else — color, plank width, finish, texture — is design.
Our full walkthrough: How to choose vinyl plank flooring.
1 · In-home measure. We measure every room precisely and assess the subfloor, existing transitions, and any moisture or level issues before quoting.
2 · Design consultation. Choose materials in our showroom with a designer. We plan transitions, tone flow and room-by-room material selection together.
3 · Detailed quote and timeline. An itemized, fixed-price proposal with a firm schedule. You know what it costs and when it finishes before we start.
4 · Demolition and installation. We remove and haul away the old flooring, prep and level the subfloor, and install. Furniture moving and daily cleanup included.
5 · Final walkthrough. We inspect every transition, edge, threshold and reveal with you before we close the job out.
The step people underestimate with LVP is subfloor flatness. Rigid-core planks bridge dips rather than following them, which creates hollow spots and stresses the locking joints. Thin glue-down LVP does the opposite — it telegraphs every imperfection right through to the surface. Either way the floor is only as good as what is under it, so we level before we install.
