FAQ
Does luxury vinyl look like real wood?
Luxury vinyl plank flooring is engineered to replicate the look of authentic hardwood remarkably well. Using advanced photographic printing techniques, the vinyl surface is embossed with detailed wood textures and coated in layers of protection and UV-cured urethane finishes. This creates natural-looking variations, grains, knots, and even distressing for a convincingly real wood aesthetic. Premium quality luxury vinyl planks are virtually indistinguishable from real oak, maple, cherry, or exotic wood floors. The technology allows luxury vinyl to mimic wood with incredible realism while providing easy maintenance.
Can you put heavy furniture on vinyl plank flooring?
Vinyl plank flooring can withstand heavy furniture or appliances without damage when properly installed. However, furniture glides, pads, or protectors are recommended to avoid potential dents or surface scratches that could occur over time from shifting furniture. This helps maintain the floor's pristine appearance. Routinely moving extremely heavy objects across vinyl planks can also cause seams to weaken. Proper care when moving furniture and using protectors distributes weight and prevents indentation damage to your vinyl wood flooring.
Is vinyl wood flooring slippery?
Vinyl wood flooring typically has textured surfaces or embossed wood grain finishes that enhance traction and provide sufficient grip underfoot. This makes it less slippery than tile or sheet vinyl. However, slip resistance can vary slightly depending on the product. Rigid core vinyl planks often have less slip than soft, cushioned vinyl. Matte and brushed finishes tend to add more traction than glossy coatings as well. Overall, vinyl wood flooring is designed to mimic real wood, providing adequate slip resistance for safety, especially when properly cleaned.
Is vinyl wood flooring better value than laminate?
Both vinyl wood flooring and laminate offer value, but the choice depends on factors like durability, water resistance, and budget. Vinyl may excel in moisture-prone areas, while laminate might offer cost-effectiveness.
