Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is similar to LVT, but designed to mimic the look of hardwood flooring. It is typically made up of multiple layers, including a wear layer, a design layer, a vinyl core, and a backing layer. Some of the pros and cons of LVP include:
Pros:
- Highly durable and scratch-resistant
- Water-resistant and waterproof options available
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Provides the look of hardwood without the cost or maintenance
- Can be installed over a variety of subfloors
Cons:
- May not look as authentic as hardwood flooring
- May require professional installation
- Some types may be more expensive than other vinyl flooring options
- not as common to see this flooring type as an option. SPC and WPC rigid core dominate the market place now
