Luxury Vinyl Plank FAQ:
•What is luxury vinyl plank (LVP)? Luxury vinyl plank is a vinyl flooring that looks like wood. It is waterproof, which makes it ideal for installing in kitchens and bathrooms.
•Is vinyl plank better than laminate? There are pros and cons for each, but, in my opinion, the pros of vinyl plank make it better than laminate. Laminate may look ever so slightly more realistic, but vinyl plank’s waterproof attributes and scratch resistant wear layer make it a better option for me.
•How much does it cost to install vinyl plank flooring?
How much vinyl plank flooring installation costs will depend how it’s installed and where you are located. The most common type of LVP clicks together like laminate. If you doing a floating installation (vs glue down), expect to pay around $1-$3 a square foot for install. We live in California, and got it installed for $2.00/sf. That was the best price we found
•Can you install vinyl plank flooring in the bathroom?
Yes! One of the best things about vinyl plank flooring is that it’s waterproof! You can install it in the bathroom and kitchen without having to worry about it getting a little wet. Make sure to clean up spills and accidents quickly (I have little kids), and don’t use any harsh chemicals on the floor.
•Can you put heavy furniture on vinyl plank flooring?
Yes, you can put heavy furniture on vinyl plank flooring. You do, however, need to take measures to protect your flooring from damage. Use felt pads under furniture legs, especially under chairs. If you have a piano, or anything heavy on casters (wheels), you’ll want to use caster cups to distribute the weight.

•Does vinyl plank flooring scratch easily?
This is, again, going to depend on the type of vinyl plank flooring that you get. Scratch resistance will likely be determined by the wear layer on the flooring. If you are worried about scratching, I’d get something with a 20mil wear layer
•Can you put rugs on vinyl plank flooring?
Yes, you can put rugs on vinyl plank flooring, but you need to make sure it’s the right kind. You don’t want anything that has a rubber backing unless it specifically says it’s safe for vinyl flooring. The same goes for rug pads. The chemicals can react with the vinyl flooring and turn it yellow. Use non-staining mats only.

•Does luxury vinyl plank decrease home value?
This is a tough question because home value (at least here in California) is determined by an appraiser, that might have their own opinions about what things are worth. I can tell you that when we sold our previous home, we didn’t get any positive or negative value on the appraisal for having LVP when compared to other homes. If you are very concerned about this, I recommend talking to a local appraiser. They would be able to give you the most timely and accurate answer.
•Do vinyl floors look cheap?
If you’re talking about sheet vinyl that has to be cut in sections and glued down, then yes, I’d say that is probably a cheaper-looking floor. Luxury vinyl plank is definitely a far cry from sheet vinyl though. With realistic textures and patterns, I don’t think you’ll be able to tell the difference between a good LVP and laminate flooring. Get some samples and test it out for yourself! I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
