What’s your thoughts on Luxury Vinyl Plank?
Posted on 8/31/19 at 2:35 pm

Building a new house and I’m looking into flooring for most of the house. Bathrooms will be tile but bedroom, laundry room, closets and common areas will be hardwood, tile that looks like wood or luxury vinyl.
I would just go with a wood but I have two Great Danes and they will destroy a would floor with scratches so I’m looking for something that will be nice and durable. I also don’t want anything that will be dated in 5 years if I can help it.

The new luxury vinyl plank is amazing flooring. Especially if you have small children or dogs

Things get popular and then they go away, for a reason
Laminate, vinyl, peel and stick
the classics never go away though

I'd just be careful about scratches.
Several years back it scratched very easy.
Not sure about the new products.

It’s vinyl floor, doesn’t matter what adjective they use to describe it.

You don’t want that in a brand new house. With dogs, put down tile.

It’s shite waste of money if you planning on moving and selling your home you will not recoup any money spent on it. If you stay and like it then bobs your uncle

LVP + Great Danes = scratches.
Go with the wood look tile.

I would never install tile again.

A higher quality LVP is really nice stuff and is extremely durable. Should a section get damaged it’s easy to replace. It’s about the same cost as S&F floors for the quality of LVP you would want.
Completely agree with everyone on tile being hard and cold and not a good choice other than bath/mud/laundry rooms.

We have installed it many times. (client's choice) Product has seemed to be fine over the last 4 years. I would go with ceramic tile before luxury vinyl considering the dogs.

I built 2 years ago and went with LVP because my home is elevated and I didn't want ceramic cracking up. I'm impressed with the durability so far. I have 2 dogs and 2 kids under 6. There is no comparison to laminate flooring. We wet mop frequently, kids have left leaking drinks overnight, spills, etc have left no buckling, and I don't have a single scratch from an 80 pound dog's nails. The only thing that has scratched it so far is a nail head sticking out of the bottom of a piece of heavy furniture being dragged across it.

we put in @ 1000 s/f of it earlier in the year and love it. We have a dog that slides all over it and it has no damage. Looks great, too. Unless you just really like the look of another floor, I can't see a reason to go with anything else.

I do my personal residence with hardwood and my rent houses with VP. I don't like the "fake", even if it looks real.
