Why Is LVP a Good Flooring for Bathrooms?
When renovating your bathroom, you want floors that look great, feel better, and last long. Many homeowners in Richmond love luxury vinyl, also called LVP or LVT (luxury vinyl plank, luxury vinyl tile), because it’s impressively durable and waterproof.
These are some top reasons why vinyl is a perfect choice for the bathroom:
Luxury Vinyl Flooring Is Waterproof
Let’s talk about your old laminate floors for a second: Laminate floors have water resistance, which means they have a strong coating that seals them in and protects their inner wood-based core. However, if the seal breaks and the core encounters water, it will swell and cause the floor to warp.
That's why you might want vinyl flooring in the bathroom instead.
Vinyl has a fully synthetic core, so even if the seal becomes damaged and water seeps in, you won’t have warped or water-damaged floors.
Vinyl Offers Comfortable Traction
When you’re stepping out of the shower, you want floors that you can comfortably stand on without slipping. Installing luxury vinyl tile in the bathroom gives you just that. With a textured surface or non-slip coating, vinyl is a safe option for the bathroom.
Best Vinyl Options for the Bathroom
Both luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are strong, waterproof floors that work well for bathrooms. Vinyl tile is a great choice if you like the look of stone or ceramic in your bathroom. If you prefer to style the bathroom in the look and texture of hardwood, you can choose vinyl plank.
