WHAT IS VINYL PLANK FLOORING (LVP)?
Vinyl plank flooring is a versatile, durable, and waterproof flooring option that mimics the natural look of hardwood while offering superior resistance to moisture and wear. Made from multiple layers of PVC with a rigid core, it provides a comfortable underfoot feel, making it ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.
​
Unlike traditional hardwood, vinyl plank flooring is scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and more affordable, making it a perfect choice for busy households, pet owners, and high-traffic areas.

LATEST FLOORS DEPOT REVIEWS
We required an emergency floor replacement due on very short notice. We called Alex at 4pm on Friday afternoon and he was there by 6. Within days our floor was replaced and we were able to move back in. Alex and his team did an outstanding job. Their customer service is excellent. Marjan and I highly recommend Floors Depot!

Kevin Day
Alex was a clear communicator. The job was done quickly and he was accommodating to our tight schedule. When some unforeseen challenges came up with the renovation (out of his control) he solved it and kept the project on schedule. Our floors look great, and the whole experience was stress free. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone!

VINYL FLOORING FAQ
What are luxury vinyl planks (LVP) made of?
Luxury vinyl planks are made of multiple layers, including a wear layer, a printed design layer, and a backing layer. The core layer, often made of PVC or SPC (Stone Plastic Composite), provides stability and durability.
Are luxury vinyl planks water-resistant?
Yes, luxury vinyl planks are highly water-resistant, making them suitable for moisture-prone areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Some types, like rigid core vinyl planks, offer enhanced water resistance.
How do I maintain luxury vinyl plank flooring?
Maintenance is simple. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping with a mild cleaner will keep your LVP looking new. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or steam mops.
Can luxury vinyl planks be installed over existing flooring?
Yes, luxury vinyl planks can often be installed over existing flooring as long as the surface is smooth, dry, and free of any damage. Click lock and loose lay installations are particularly suitable for this purpose.
What is the difference between rigid core and flexible core vinyl planks?
Rigid core vinyl planks have a solid, stable core that provides enhanced durability and impact resistance, making them suitable for high-traffic areas and uneven subfloors. Flexible core vinyl planks are more pliable and can conform to the shape of the subfloor.
How long does luxury vinyl plank flooring last?
With proper care and maintenance, luxury vinyl plank flooring can last 20 years or more. The longevity of the flooring depends on the quality of the product and the level of foot traffic it endures.
