Luxury vinyl plank flooring
design talk with coles fine flooring
The warmth and natural beauty of hardwood is an easy selling point, but wood isn’t always the best choice. Wood and water don’t mix. Moisture-prone rooms like bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms usually end up with vinyl or tile to protect against moisture. But Luxury Vinyl Plank blends the beauty of wood with the water resistance of vinyl allowing you to put the realistic look of wood anywhere in your home—even spaces that get wet or tend to have higher than normal humidity levels.
Superior durability
Vinyl planks capture the natural grain patterns and wood tones of real wood planks, but are designed to withstand the traffic and wear of a busy household. Now, you can enjoy the natural beauty of wood without the maintenance that comes along with it. LVP’S protective top layer can withstand the elements, from food and drink spills to bath splashes and muddy footprints.
Realistic wood looks
Luxury Vinyl Plank is available in 48 inch long planks in varying widths, which create the most trueto-life hardwood visual. A wide variety of beautiful wood looks, including oak, walnut, and exotic species, plus features like beveled edges and textured surfaces, let you match you floor with your unique style.
Diy-friendly
Those with a limited budget will appreciate how easy and affordable LVP is to install, even if you plan to do it yourself. Interlocking edges join planks together easily with preapplied adhesive and minimal tools. And since the planks “float” over the subfloor, they are easy to replace if one gets damaged.
Easy maintenance
Sweeping or vacuuming regularly, and occasional damp mopping is all it takes to keep these floors shining. The resilient surface is soft underfoot and more comfortable to stand on than real hardwood, making it perfect for kitchens. Especially since any accidental spills wont damage the floor OR be hard to clean up! Visit your nearest Coles Fine Flooring showroom today to learn more about the versatility of LVP!
