Do you love the look of hardwood but can’t afford the price tag? Luxury vinyl planks (LVP) are a fantastic alternative to hardwood with some added benefits as well. Product lines like Shaw Floorte Largo have some advantages that make LVP a perfect option for your home.
LVP Basics
LVP is made with PVC, and utilizes different layers to create a resilient floor that’s durable and water resistant. LVP also contains an ultra-realistic design layer that closely mimics different types and finishes of hardwood.
Water Resistance
Perhaps the biggest advantage of Floorte LVP by Shaw is its waterproof qualities. Since it’s made mostly of PVC, water doesn’t absorb, and the click design installation method keeps water from penetrating underneath the planks.
Durability
In addition to being waterproof, Floorte Largo flooring is extremely resistant to scratches and dents. It stands up well to high traffic, whether it’s used in a residential or commercial setting. This line of flooring is stronger and more resistant to temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it’s easy to maintain and keep clean, even if you have children and pets in the home.
Appearance
Another advantage of Shaw Floorte Largo LVP is the numerous design options. The photo design layer comes in numerous hardwood finishes, so you can choose flooring that looks nearly identical to hardwood, without worrying about the maintenance of hardwood. This LVP is available in colors ranging from light to dark, and is even available in contemporary, multi-tonal finishes.
Comfort and Quiet
Shaw Floorte Largo floors include options with a thicker profile, which makes the floor more comfortable with added sound dampening. A foam, waterproof core not only makes it practical for waterproof purposes, but it’s soft and quiet underfoot, making it a great choice for upstairs areas that would benefit from sound absorption.
