Modern LVP and laminate are floating floors: planks click together over an underlayment pad rather than being glued or nailed down, letting the floor move slightly with temperature changes.

Why Homeowners Choose It

The real advantages of LVP & laminate

1

Genuinely waterproof

Top-tier SPC/WPC vinyl plank handles kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, even basements without warping — something hardwood and traditional laminate can't do.

2

Serious dent & scratch resistance

Rigid SPC cores stand up to dog nails, dropped pans, and moved furniture better than most other flooring.

3

A high-end look at a fraction of the cost

Convincing wood or stone visuals without the price tag of the real material.

4

Fast, low-mess installation

Floating click-lock systems often install over your existing floor — less demo, less downtime in your home.

5

Genuinely low maintenance

No waxing, no refinishing, no grout to scrub — sweep and mop, and it stays looking new.

The Install Process

What actually happens during an LVP or laminate install

Laminate is a photographic wood or stone image fused under a clear wear layer, over a dense fiberboard core. Luxury vinyl plank swaps that core for a waterproof composite instead — SPC (stone plastic composite) is completely rigid and the toughest option against dents and water, while WPC (wood plastic composite) trades a bit of that rigidity for a softer feel underfoot.

Nearly all modern laminate and LVP are floating floors — planks click together edge-to-edge over an underlayment, with no nails or glue holding them to the subfloor. That's what lets the floor move slightly with temperature changes instead of buckling. We check wear-layer thickness before recommending a product (12–20 mil is our target for a busy household) and install to NALFA specifications for subfloor prep and expansion gaps.
