Within the past couple of years, luxury vinyl plank has become a popular choice for homeowners when it comes to flooring. You might be wondering, what is luxury vinyl plank? Luxury vinyl plank is a type of flooring that comes in strips (plank) that is meant to resemble what hardwood flooring would look like. It comes in many different styles and colors that resemble the various types of hardwood flooring.

There are multiple reasons why people decide to go with vinyl plank instead of hardwood flooring. Here are a few:

1. Installation is faster and easier than installing hardwood.

2. The cost to install vinyl plank into your home is more budget-friendly.

3. It holds up stronger against wear and tear in comparison to hardwood. This is great if you have smaller children or pets!

4. Objects are less likely to break when they fall onto vinyl plank.

5. You can add heated floors with some types – perfect for Midwest winters!

6. Simple to maintain – Just sweep and occasionally mop. If you need a deep clean, you can use a water and vinegar mixture!

7. Longer lasting (can last up to 20 years!).

8. The floors are water resistant, so it’s safe to install it in bathrooms.

9. Looks identical to hardwood.
