What is Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Want beautiful, long-lasting, and waterproof floors in your home without the cost of hardwood or stone? Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring is the solution for you. Unlike laminate, LVP is 100% impervious to water and features 6 to 8 layers, making it thicker and sturdier. With a top coat for shine, a wear layer for protection, a design layer with a printed image, a cushion foam layer for comfort, and strong backing layers, LVP looks excellent and feels like natural hardwood. It's perfect for busy areas and homes with kids and pets.
ACC Facility Services installs luxury vinyl plank flooring for commercial and residential properties in Atlanta. We check and prepare the substrate before any plank goes down, because that is where most floating floor problems start.
Suitable Floors For A Lot Of Foot Traffic!
Upgrade Your Space with Water-Resistant LVP Flooring in Atlanta
Waterproof vinyl plank suits the places where water is a real risk: entrances, fitness rooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements. Because the core is plastic rather than wood fiber, standing water will not swell it the way it swells a laminate plank. Wear layer thickness is the specification that matters most, and it is what separates a residential plank from one that will hold up in a shop or a clinic.
Stock sold for general retail is usually built to a residential wear layer, which is fine in a spare bedroom and short lived in a busy entry. We specify the plank for the room it is going into.
Subfloor preparation decides the result. Vinyl plank is thin and flexible, so it telegraphs whatever sits underneath it, and a slab that is not flat will show as dips and hollow spots underfoot once the floor is down.
Vinyl Plank Floor Benefits
Vinyl plank is a practical option for Atlanta homes and businesses, with a clean, modern look that carries from living areas and offices through to retail and light commercial spaces.
Durable & Waterproof
Vinyl Plank floor doesn’t scratch, indent or stain easily, which makes it kid and pet-friendly. Vinyl planks durable qualities allow you to install it virtually anywhere in your home.
The moisture resistance makes a vinyl plank floor a perfect choice for bathrooms, basements, mud rooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and more.
Easy to install
Vinyl plank is normally laid as a floating floor: the planks lock to each other and rest on the existing subfloor rather than being fixed down to it.
That is why the labor runs well below a nail-down hardwood floor, and why there is no adhesive or finish that has to cure before the room can be used.
Comfortable Underfoot
LVP has a softer feel than many other types of flooring. The under-layer attached to LVP absorbs some of the impacts of your footsteps. Some LVT also comes with extra sound-barrier backing to muffle footsteps. Extra underlayment can also be added to further enhance the soft, quiet character of LVP floors.
Easy to clean and maintain
The surface of vinyl plank flooring is easy to clean, only needing regular sweeping and mopping with a mild cleaner.
Vinyl Plank flooring doesn't need waxing, polishing, or sealing. It has a protective layer that keeps it shiny for a long time.
Realistic look
Vinyl plank comes in many finishes and colors. On better planks the embossing is registered to the printed grain, so the texture you feel lines up with the pattern you see, and that is what separates current LVP from the flat, obviously printed vinyl of twenty years ago.
Eco-Friendly
As LVP is extremely durable, it lasts a long time with no need for replacement, which in turn saves resources, too.
Many LVPs are also certified with FloorScore, GreenGuard Gold, and LEED. LVP has undergone extensive testing to ensure it produces minimal harmful chemicals that could impact indoor air quality.
