Common Questions About LVP
Q What exactly is LVP flooring?
LVP stands for Luxury Vinyl Plank. It's a durable, waterproof flooring that looks just like real hardwood. Each plank has a realistic wood-grain texture and layered construction that makes it strong enough for everyday wear and tear.
Q Is LVP really waterproof?
Yes, it can be up to 100% waterproof depending on the flooring chosen. That's one of the main reasons people in Hampton Roads love it. With our coastal humidity and the occasional water spill, waterproof flooring just makes life easier.
Q How long does LVP flooring last?
Good quality LVP can last 15-25 years depending on the wear layer and how it's maintained. The thicker the wear layer, the longer it holds up even in high-traffic areas.
Q Can LVP be installed in kitchens and bathrooms?
Absolutely. LVP is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements because it handles moisture without swelling or warping like wood would.
Q What does LVP flooring cost in Hampton Roads?
Pricing depends on brand, thickness, and installation needs, but most homeowners spend between $3 and $8 per square foot installed. We offer free estimates so you know exactly what your project will cost.
Q Does LVP need an underlayment?
Some types come with an attached pad, others don't. We'll help you choose what's best for your home based on your subfloor, noise reduction needs, and comfort preferences.
Q Can I install LVP over my existing floor?
Often, yes. As long as your current floor is level and in good condition, LVP can be floated right over top with no major demolition needed.
Q Is LVP safe for homes with pets?
Yes. It's scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and doesn't absorb odors like carpet. Pet owners love it because it's durable and still looks good after years of use.
Q How do I clean LVP flooring?
Just sweep or vacuum regularly and use a damp mop with a vinyl-safe cleaner. Avoid waxes or harsh chemicals as they can dull the finish.
