While solid hardwood planks are nailed to a wood subfloor, thin and flexible LVP flooring is designed to float above the subfloor. Planks connect with a click and lock design, so floors can be installed over existing hard surface flooring as well as radiant heat systems. High-density foam underlayment adds cushioning underfoot as well as sound and thermal insulation. It's important to add vapor barrier underlayment when installing planks on a concrete slab where moisture is always present. Keep in mind that it is easy to replace a plank that becomes damaged in future years, which adds to the floor's lifespan.
The toughest LVP brands are designed with pets in mind, and these brands are perfect for active households too. Adura Max by Mannington features an innovative thick and rigid HydroLoc waterproof core that stands up well to pet accidents as well as spilled water bowls. Because of Scratch Resist, a premium scratch resistant surface protector, pet claws do not damage the floor. COREtec also offers pet-friendly, 100% waterproof LVP brands that feature patented WPC core technology and extra thick wear layers that resist scratches.
