Default Warning about LVP

LVP is more popular than laminate but both have their pros and cons.

If you go with LVP sure you get a 20mil or greater wear layer. Preferably 28 mil.

I have heard reports that some the new homes are having to replace their floor within a couple of years.

The SVP layer should be 7mm or greater IMO. The thicker it is the less it feels like walking on concrete.

Before you buy, become on expert on flooring or you will risk being ripped off or being stuck with a floor that is incompatible with your home environment.
