Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring
Flooring is one of the few renovation decisions that touches every buyer walkthrough, every tenant showing, and every day-to-day experience inside a property.
At Landes Properties LLC, we’ve built our flooring strategy around one material that consistently outperforms expectations, Luxury Vinyl Plank, or LVP.
Below, we break down why it works, how it compares to the alternatives, and what our installation process looks like from start to finish.
Engineered to Perform: The Anatomy of LVP:
LVP isn’t just a printed floor covering, it’s a layered, purpose-built system. A typical plank is constructed from four distinct layers working together:
Wear Layer: The top shield against scratches, stains, and UV fading.
Design Layer: A high-resolution print replicating hardwood, stone, or tile.
Core Layer: Rigid or flexible construction (SPC or WPC) that provides structural stability and, in most products, full waterproofing.
Backing Layer: Adds cushioning, sound dampening, and moisture protection from below.
This layered engineering is what separates LVP from laminate and allows it to perform in spaces where hardwood traditionally couldn’t, bathrooms, basements, kitchens, and entryways.
LVP vs. Traditional Flooring: A Side-by-Side Look:
Feature | LVP | Hardwood | Laminate | Tile |
Water Resistance | Excellent (often 100% waterproof) | Poor | Fair | Excellent |
Installation Speed | Fast | Slow | Fast | Slow |
Comfort Underfoot | High | Medium | Low | Low |
Maintenance | Low | High | Medium | Medium |
Lifespan | 15–25 years | 30+ years (with refinishing) | 10–20 years | 20+ years |
This comparison is exactly why LVP has become our go-to recommendation for both rental units and owner-occupied renovations, it delivers the highest overall value across the metrics that matter most to property owners.
Why Landes Properties LLC Recommends LVP:
- Built for Real Life: Resists scratches from pets, dents from furniture, and daily foot traffic.
- Waterproof Confidence: Ideal for high-moisture areas without risk of warping.
- Budget-Friendly Elegance: The look of premium materials at a fraction of the cost.
- Low-Maintenance Living: No sanding, sealing, or refinishing required.
- Tenant and Buyer Appeal: A modern aesthetic that photographs well and shows well in person.
Our Installation Process, Step by Step:
1. Subfloor Assessment
Every successful installation starts below the surface. Our team inspects for moisture, levelness, and structural integrity before a single plank is laid.
2. Material Acclimation
Planks rest on-site for 24–48 hours, allowing them to adjust to the room’s temperature and humidity and minimizing post-install shifting.
3. Layout & Design Planning
We map the plank direction, stagger pattern, and room flow to minimize waste and maximize visual impact.
4. Installation
Depending on the property and traffic level, we use either:
- Click-Lock (Floating Floor) faster installation, easier plank replacement
- Glue-Down a permanent bond suited for high-traffic or commercial spaces
5. Trim & Transitions
Baseboards, quarter-round, and transition strips are installed to conceal expansion gaps and deliver a seamless finish.
6. Final Quality Walkthrough
Every seam, edge, and transition is inspected before the space is considered move-in ready.
