What Is LVP?

LVP stands for "Luxury Vinyl Plank," which is exactly what it sounds like -- vinyl that is cut into plank strips and then mounted onto boards to mimic the look of real wood. Next, the "image layer" is added, which is created with high definition photography, so you can see every knot, raised grain, and swirl in the photograph.

Embossing adds texturing to the final "wear layer" that gives additional depth and dimension. Your floor can look hand-scraped, wire-brushed, antiqued or distressed.

While both LVP (plank) and LVT (tile) can also be made to mimic stone, many opt for plank as it has a larger format and fewer seams.

Will I Get That Highly Designed, Glossy Look With LVP?

Yes, LVP is available in both matte and gloss finishes. With it, you can have that glossy wooden floor appearance that you see in all the design magazines at a fraction of the cost. LVP is a popular choice for homeowners and businesses seeking a durable, lowmaintenance flooring option without the high cost or maintenance requirements.
