FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is vinyl plank flooring really waterproof?
Quality LVP and SPC vinyl are 100% waterproof, which is why they’re ideal for basements, kitchens, and bathrooms. Laminate is water-resistant but not fully waterproof — we’ll help you pick the right product for the room.
What’s the difference between laminate and vinyl plank?
Laminate has a wood-based core with a printed wear layer and is very budget-friendly; vinyl plank has a waterproof plastic core. Both look like wood — vinyl wins in wet areas, laminate often wins on price.
