Choosing new flooring is a big decision that impacts the look, feel, and functionality of your space. If you're weighing the benefits of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) against traditional hardwood, this guide will help you make an informed decision based on lifestyle, maintenance needs, and long-term value.

Hardwood flooring is known for its timeless beauty and natural warmth. It can be refinished to extend its lifespan but may be more vulnerable to moisture and scratches. On the other hand, LVP is engineered to handle high-traffic areas, resist water damage, and stand up to pets, kids, and daily wear without losing its appeal.

Hardwood floors require regular cleaning and occasional refinishing to maintain their look. LVP is low maintenance, usually needing just a sweep and damp mop to keep it looking fresh. If easy upkeep is a priority, LVP may be the more practical choice.

Both flooring types come in a variety of styles and colors. Hardwood offers rich grain patterns and classic charm, while LVP mimics the look of natural wood and stone with a wide range of design options. It's often hard to tell the difference without a close look.

LVP can typically be installed quickly, with options for floating, glue-down, or click-lock methods. Hardwood installation may take longer and is often better handled by professionals. If you’re a DIY enthusiast, LVP may offer a simpler path.

If you’re ready to move forward, we keep a variety of popular LVP styles in stock and ready for pickup or installation. Our showroom team can help you find the right option to match your space.
