Flooring Wars: Hardwood VS. Luxury Vinyl Plank

At KM BUILDERS, we only recommend the best products for our clients. We wouldn’t recommend anything that we wouldn’t use in our own homes or offices. 

When the time comes to select the new flooring for your home, most homeowners tend to lean towards hardwood floors. There’s something about the timeless and classic look it gives your home that everyone longs for. But what if there was a flooring material that was less than the cost of hardwood and still provided that timeless and classic look? At first, you may not think that the word “vinyl” would be in any of our best products list, but you would be wrong. Let us introduce you to Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring.

We recommend this material over hardwood floors time and time again because of its beauty and long-lasting durability. Luxury vinyl plank is impervious, meaning it will not scratch (which is fantastic for people with kids and pets) and is more durable than real hardwood floors. In addition to being scratch resistant, luxury vinyl plank floors are also water resistant! This is a critical factor for helping to keep the floors in excellent condition as the years go by because luxury vinyl plank requires less maintenance and up-keep than hardwood floors. By being both scratch resistant and water resistant, your luxury vinyl plank will outlast hardwood floors. 

Luxury vinyl plank also comes in a variety of styles and colors to fit your needs. Whether you are searching for the appearance of traditional oak, a blonde maple, or a rich Brazilian Cherry, you can find the style you want with a luxury vinyl plank! Luxury vinyl plank will help you attain the hardwood floor look that is on top of your wishlist with more benefits than you thought was ever possible! 

Now if you’re worried about luxury vinyl plank looking too much like a laminate and not a hardwood floor, let us put your worries at ease. Most people won’t even be able to tell the difference between hardwood to vinyl plank flooring, and you can have significant cost savings when you choose vinyl plank floors. Not only will you save on the cost of the flooring itself, but you’ll also gain savings on the installation. Installing luxury vinyl plank has little to no demolition because it can be installed over old material such as tile. So you can save more by not having the cost of demolition.
