Luxury Vinyl Plank Installation in New York, NY
Luxury vinyl plank is the fastest-growing floor in the country and the one most often mis-specified, because the number that decides how long it lasts is not the one most sellers lead with. It is wear layer, measured in mils.
Twelve mil is fine for a bedroom or a low-traffic room. Twenty mil is what stands up to dogs, children and an entry hall. A thick plank with a thin wear layer feels substantial in the hand and scratches within a year, which is the complaint that follows almost every cheap LVP quote.
Core construction is the second decision. Rigid SPC handles an imperfect subfloor better than flexible WPC, and that matters more than people expect, because very few subfloors are genuinely flat.
Hardline Surface Co. measures in the home across New York, NY, checks the subfloor while we are there, and specifies to how the room is actually used rather than to a price point.
Ask for the wear layer in mils and the warranty in writing. If the seller talks about total thickness instead, they are avoiding the question.
