Frequently Asked Questions

Is laminate or LVP better for homes with pets?

Both laminate and luxury vinyl plank are excellent options for homes with pets, but LVP is usually the better choice. This is because LVP is fully waterproof and extremely resilient against pet accidents, water bowls, and spills. It also maintains its shape and appearance even in high humidity, which is common during North Richland Hills summers. Laminate is very durable and scratch resistant, but it can swell if exposed to water for long periods. For pet owners who want the least maintenance and highest durability, LVP is generally the preferred flooring material. Homes with multiple dogs or active pets tend to see the best long term performance from LVP.

How long does installation take?

Laminate and LVP installation is one of the fastest flooring upgrades available. Most projects take one to two days depending on the size of the space, removal of previous flooring, type of subfloor preparation needed, and the layout of your home. Simple, open floor plans install quickly, while homes with multiple hallways, small rooms, or unique cuts may take slightly longer. If we are removing carpet, tile, or old laminate, the preparation process may add a few hours. In most cases, homeowners can walk on the new flooring immediately after installation because no drying, curing, or finishing time is required.

Can laminate or LVP be installed over tile?

Yes. Laminate and luxury vinyl plank can often be installed directly over existing tile as long as the tile is level, stable, and free of cracks or hollow areas. Installing over tile saves time and money because it avoids demolition costs. Before installation, we check the tile for loose sections, high spots, or uneven areas. If the tile is uneven, we use leveling compounds to create a smooth surface. If the tile is severely damaged or extremely uneven, removal may be recommended. When conditions are right, floating laminate and click lock LVP install beautifully over tile and provide a long lasting, stable floor.

Is LVP completely waterproof?

Yes. Luxury vinyl plank is fully waterproof which means it can handle spills, moisture, and humidity without warping, swelling, or losing stability. This makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and any area in your home where water exposure is possible. LVP’s waterproof core and tightly locked seams prevent moisture from penetrating the planks. This is especially beneficial in Texas where weather changes and humidity can cause issues with other flooring types. Even in homes with pets, children, or frequent spills, LVP maintains its appearance and structural integrity.

Does laminate flooring swell with water?

Laminate flooring is highly resistant to scratches and daily wear but is more sensitive to water compared to LVP. Traditional laminate can swell, bubble, or warp if water sits on the surface for an extended period. Modern water resistant laminate can handle small spills and light moisture better than older products, but it is still not fully waterproof. For homes where spills are common or where moisture is a concern, such as kitchens or bathrooms, LVP is usually the better choice. Laminate performs best in living rooms, bedrooms, and areas without frequent water exposure.

How long do laminate and LVP floors last?

Laminate flooring generally lasts 15 to 25 years depending on the thickness, wear layer, installation quality, and level of daily activity. LVP flooring typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more because it is more resistant to moisture, dents, and scratches. Homes with children and pets often prefer LVP because of its longevity and ability to withstand rough use. Both flooring types offer great value for the lifespan they provide, and proper maintenance such as regular cleaning and using felt pads under furniture can extend their lifespan significantly.
