What types of flooring do you specialize in?
We offer a diverse selection of high-quality materials to meet every style and performance need, including Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), Engineered Hardwood, Laminate, Carpet, and specialized Waterproof and Epoxy Flooring solutions.
What is Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), and is it truly waterproof?
LVP is a highly durable, multi-layer flooring designed to realistically replicate the look of natural wood. It is a waterproof option, making it ideal for high-moisture areas like kitchens, basements, and bathrooms. It offers excellent style, performance, and easy maintenance.
Is hardwood flooring a good long-term investment?
Absolutely. Modern, professionally installed hardwood adds significant value to your home. Depending on your choice, materials like refinishable hardwood are backed by residential warranties ranging up to 50+ years, making it a multi-decade investment.
What is the difference between Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Laminate?
While both are durable and cost-effective alternatives to hardwood, LVP is made primarily of PVC composites, giving it superior waterproof capabilities. Laminate is wood-based and generally offers excellent durability and scratch resistance but is typically not considered waterproof.
