When it's time to upgrade your floors, the decision isn't always straightforward. You're probably looking at hardwood, laminate, carpet, and Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring - and you might be wondering why more homeowners from Denver to Fort Collins and down to Colorado Springs are choosing LVP. At On Top Flooring, LLC. in Denver, we've seen firsthand why this flooring option has become so popular along Colorado’s Front Range.
Let's break down exactly what makes LVP flooring stand apart and why it’s increasingly considered the best flooring option available today.
What Exactly is Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring is engineered specifically to offer the natural beauty of hardwood floors without the drawbacks like water sensitivity and high maintenance. Each plank consists of several important layers:
The top wear layer protects against scratches, scuffs, and everyday wear. Beneath it, the design layer is where the visual magic happens, showcasing ultra-realistic wood grain patterns. Under that, there's a sturdy, waterproof core layer, giving the flooring incredible stability. Lastly, the backing layer provides comfort, warmth, and excellent noise reduction.
This thoughtful design gives you flooring that's as practical as it is attractive.
Durability You Can Count On
If your household includes children, pets, or even just busy lifestyles, durability matters greatly. Traditional hardwood flooring looks beautiful but easily scratches, dents, or scuffs, especially in high-traffic areas. Carpet tends to wear down quickly, especially in busy rooms, requiring frequent replacements.
Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring solves this problem effortlessly. Its strong wear layer resists scratches, dents, and scuffs far better than hardwood or laminate. At On Top Flooring, we've installed LVP flooring in homes across Littleton, Aurora, and Boulder - and consistently, our customers are impressed with how well it holds up over the years.
With LVP flooring, you get beautiful floors that stay looking new, even in the busiest Colorado homes.
Completely Waterproof Flooring - Ideal for Colorado's Climate
One standout reason homeowners from Centennial to Parker choose LVP flooring is because it is 100% waterproof. While hardwood flooring is susceptible to water damage and laminate can warp if moisture seeps in, Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring is completely unaffected by water exposure.
In Colorado, where the weather changes quickly and wet boots or snowy gear are common, this feature alone is a game-changer. Kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, basements—you can confidently install LVP flooring anywhere in your home without worrying about water damage.
Comfortable and Quiet Underfoot
Another reason our customers at On Top Flooring appreciate Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring is its comfort and quietness. Hardwood and laminate floors, though beautiful, can feel hard underfoot and create echoey noise throughout your home. Carpet, while soft, can be challenging to keep clean and allergen-free.
LVP flooring strikes the perfect balance. Its cushioned backing provides comfort comparable to carpet, while dramatically reducing noise from footsteps and pets running across the floor. This feature is especially valuable in homes with multiple levels, making your home feel quieter and more peaceful.
Easy Maintenance for Busy Colorado Families
One of the most appealing aspects of LVP flooring for homeowners throughout Highlands Ranch, Westminster, and beyond is its easy maintenance. Hardwood floors need refinishing periodically, laminate can become dull over time, and carpets require regular vacuuming and professional deep cleaning.
Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring is refreshingly simple to care for. Sweeping and occasional damp mopping is all that's required. No polishing, waxing, or deep cleaning appointments necessary. This makes LVP flooring ideal for busy families or anyone who wants to spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying their home.
Cost-Effective Luxury for Any Budget
Budget considerations matter, whether you're renovating a single room or your entire home. Hardwood flooring is beautiful but often expensive, not just in materials but also in installation and long-term maintenance. Carpet may initially cost less, but regular replacement adds up over time.
Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring offers outstanding value. It mimics the look and feel of high-end hardwood floors at a significantly lower cost. At On Top Flooring, we help Colorado homeowners achieve beautiful floors without breaking their budget, from Lafayette and Broomfield down to Castle Rock.
A Healthier Flooring Option
If allergies or indoor air quality are important to your family, flooring matters significantly. Carpet easily traps allergens like dust, pet dander, and pollen, which can negatively impact your home's air quality. Hardwood and laminate floors are better, but allergens can still get caught in grooves and seams.
LVP flooring provides a smooth, hypoallergenic surface that doesn't trap dust or allergens. It's easy to clean thoroughly, improving indoor air quality dramatically. Homeowners across cities like Golden and Thornton choose LVP flooring from On Top Flooring specifically because it creates a healthier living environment for their families.
Quick and Simple Installation
Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring isn't just great for homeowners - it's also easy to install. Unlike hardwood, which requires precise cuts, sanding, finishing, or carpeting, which needs specialized equipment and installation, LVP flooring features a convenient click-and-lock system.
This easy installation method saves time and reduces labor costs. It's perfect whether you're a DIY enthusiast or prefer a quick, professional installation from our experienced team at On Top Flooring.
