Basements are susceptible to moisture so choosing flooring is one of the most important decisions when renovating. Luxury vinyl planks (LVP) have become a popular choice due to their combination of style, durability and moisture resistance in one package.
Unlike traditional hardwood LVP is made from synthetic materials that don’t warp and swell when in contact with water. This makes it ideal for damp basement conditions, where other flooring options do not work well. Its layered construction also makes it more stable, so that it can withstand changes in temperature and humidity without cracking.
Luxury vinyl planks are available in a large range of colours, textures, and patterns, which mimic natural wood or stone. This gives homeowners the opportunity to do high-end aesthetics without sacrificing durability. LVP can be installed directly over concrete or existing subfloors, making the process of renovating the facility a simple task, while also providing an additional moisture-resistant layer when used in conjunction with underlayment.
Maintenance is easy, too. LVP is resistant to stains, scratches and general wear, so it makes sense in high-traffic areas such as the basement living room, playroom or office. With proper installation, it is both comforting and long lasting.
Conclusion
Luxury vinyl planks are the ideal combination of beauty and durability for basement floors. Their ability to resist moisture, be flexible, and look stylish make them a top choice during any type of basement renovation. Choosing LVP will ensure that your basement remains dry, safe and gorgeous for years to come.
