- Watch as Bryan explains what makes Luxury Vinyl Plank unique and such a great option to consider when looking for new flooring.
Luxury Vinyl Plank or LVP
1. All of them are water proof. - They do not make your sub-floor waterproof but LVP repels the water and does not allow water to reach your sub floor.
2. Vinyl Customized Look - finish actual can feel like a wood grain.
3. Wear layer rating protection rated from 6, 8, 12, 20 mil options. The higher the rating the more durable it is.
4. LVP is not scratch proof, but one of the greatest things with LVP is you can replace one small piece of LVP at a time. Not need to remove half your floor just to get to the damaged piece.
5. Two types of cores: Wood vs. Stone Both are very durable but the difference between the two is the pounds per square inch (psi) they can resist.
* Wood - Resists up to 400 psi. Be more flexible along your floor and relax against your floor.
* Stone - Resists up to 2000 psi. Is more stiff and if you do not have a smooth floor its possible that there could be some clapping when walking along the flooring.
6. Great for the DIY (do it yourself) flooring option. Its a floating floor and you do not glue it down. Easier Installation.
LVP can even be installed on top of Tile. Just make sure follow some specific guidelines to get the best results.

My god finally a video that’s quick and packed with easily digestible information. Thank you SO much!
You're welcome! We are so glad you enjoyed it! Please let us know if there are any other questions we can answer for you.
Finally! The diamond in the rough. Spent hours this morning researching LVT. This was the most informative & easy to understand post. At least I know what to actually look for. Now I just have to find a quality retailer in my area. Thank you!!
We’ve had LVP for 11 years and it’s held up great. Most people haven’t been able to tell that it’s not wood.
Ummm… balancing layer anyone? Umm stone polymer - calcium carbonate aka - chalk - not good with water - ummm wood polymer - aka plastic and “wood” not good with water -
Product put in water is a nice trick but zero ambient conditions or alkalinity issues introduced
You mentioned quarter inch gap Lol why? Exactly expansion and contraction - why is that ? Exactly
Flood your house and see how that product reacts.
You’re actually part of the misinformation problem on these products. Customers believe you. As an installer and moisture testing professional, I can tell you these products are a nightmare.
I haven’t even got into the Sun coming in through your French doors and heating these products well over 100 degrees. By the way- zero warranty from the Sun
Purchase at your own risk and buy a product with a balancing layer at a minimum
The best information presented, that I have seen in years! Thank you.
Hi Douglas! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed our video. Thank you so much for watching. We hope it was educational. Please let us know if there are any other videos you'd like to see in the future! Have a great day!

?LVT is made from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. PVC is hazardous to both the environment and human health.
They don’t care. Money is the king
Is Luxury vinyl plank TOXIC?
No. Only bumans.
Nice explanations. You forgot to mention installing bull nose molding vs. taking out the molding and re-installing it. Also you did not mentions the strength and quality of the attaching mechanisms. A lot of mfg provide weak joints that can be snapped off easily.
Put felt pads on the legs of your furniture removed the plastic tips that are on the bottom this will help you out greatly
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Best combination of a wealth of information and to the point without making it a 30 minute or longer video like a lot of people do.
What is the manufacturer and product name of the stone polymer floor that you were demonstrating the 2000 psi rating on? That is the exact flooring, pattern and color I'm looking for

Wow!!! You did an awesome job!! This was what we were trying to find out from the retailer and internet! If you were in NJ, I’d buy right away from you! Thank you! You are an excellent teacher!
Scratches really easy ! Not for dogs . Picked up a Little Rock under my vacuum and scratched the crap out of it . Can’t use any cleaner has to be theirs because of Ph .
Hello! We are sorry to hear about the scratches on your floor. If you have a thinner wear layer (6 or 8) then scratches and scuffs are more likely to happen. If you have pets, children, or large families, we recommend getting LVP with a thicker wear layer (12 or 20).
Which LVP is good to for a sunroom that has no climate control?
Thanks for the great video. Does it do well with in floor heating? Should I go with the 20 as my apartment will be rented out on Airbnb?
Thank you 😊 what a load of fantastic info 👏 👍
Very good video. Clear and very informative.

You're welcome! Thank you for watching :)
Bought a house that had brand new LVP back door had a leak and buckled everything. Maybe it’s waterproof to a point but water destroyed my floor quick…
This kind of water leak kills any kind of floor. Even tile floor gets loose. Been there done that.
How do you repair or retouch a chipped wear layer?
Hello! LVP is easy to remove and reinstall. You'll have to cut out the damaged piece and replace it with a new piece.
Very informative!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much. 👍💝

What is the best brand you would suggest Vinyl
Amtico. They are widely used in dental offices due to superior durability compared to life proof and other brands of LVP
I ordered the Mowhawk LVT Grandwood planks which are 12mils wear layer will that hold up for a family??
Hello! Yes, a 12 mil. layer should hold up nicely for a family! Be sure to avoid dragging heavy furniture or anything else with sharp edges across your floor to avoid scratches.
Don’t do it ! Especially if your picking a dark color it will so defects over time
Good job.
Thank you for the explanation and features.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
More than ever! Its a top runner for my home
Great video
