Laminate vs. LVP: Choosing the Right Flooring for Every Home
Carpet to Go Flooring provides an in-depth look at the distinctions between laminate and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring to help homeowners make well-informed decisions based on durability, cost, and maintenance needs. The full discussion is available at Carpet to Go Hardwood Products.
Both laminate and LVP are popular flooring materials, yet their compositions and performance vary significantly. Laminate flooring consists of recycled wood fibers with a high-density fiberboard core and a printed design layer that simulates natural materials. It offers an affordable alternative to hardwood but is susceptible to water damage. LVP, on the other hand, is made entirely from polyvinyl chloride and includes a wear-resistant top layer. Its waterproof qualities make it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other moisture-prone spaces.
In terms of durability, laminate performs well in low-traffic or dry areas, whereas LVP’s waterproof composition and scratch-resistant surface make it a more resilient choice, particularly for households with pets or children. When comparing costs, laminate remains the more budget-friendly option, priced around $1–$4 per square foot. LVP ranges from $2–$7 per square foot but compensates with enhanced water resistance and longer lifespan.
Maintenance is another deciding factor for homeowners. Laminate floors require sweeping and light damp mopping, but care must be taken to avoid excessive moisture. LVP offers easier upkeep—requiring only a wet mop and no specialized cleaners—making it ideal for those seeking low-maintenance solutions.
Ultimately, Carpet to Go Flooring highlights that the choice between laminate and LVP depends on each homeowner’s environment, lifestyle, and design goals. Laminate is well-suited for dry spaces such as bedrooms or offices, while LVP is preferred in high-traffic or moisture-heavy rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
