Luxury Vinyl Plank is a water-resistant flooring that can be incredibly valuable for any heavily trafficked room in your home. Everyone makes messes so picking flooring that allows for easy clean-up is always a responsible choice. It is a great alternative to real hardwood that will still give you a beautiful look but in a more practical, often more affordable material.

In addition, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring is also very cost-effective. Market competition continues to drive prices down even as the look, design, functionality and more continue to improve in waterproof flooring across brands.

Waterproof

LVP flooring is a popular new alternation to traditional wood flooring because of its’ waterproof attributes. At Flooring Expo we offer a wide selection of waterproof flooring with a variety of waterproof core luxury vinyl tile  (WPC LVP), Water LVP or simply waterproof vinyl. LVP most often consists of 4 layers. To start there is a bottom backing layer. Then comes of the waterproof core (WPC) which will not warp or swell. The third is the printed vinyl layer with serves to add the real wood or stone look. Finally, there is a wear layer that acts as a protectant from dents, scuffs, stains and scratches. 

Durability 

The final layer of LVP that protects against scrapes and other damages works together to create a floor that is made to last. DuraLVP is more durable and comfortable than traditional hardwood.
