When you need flooring that can handle spills, foot traffic, and moisture without constant upkeep, luxury vinyl plank offers a practical solution. Homeowners in Springfield use LVP in kitchens, basements, mudrooms, and other areas where traditional hardwood is not ideal. The material looks like wood but performs like vinyl, which means it holds up in spaces where durability matters more than anything else.

Cruz Flooring installs luxury vinyl plank flooring in residential and commercial properties throughout Springfield. The planks are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and available in a wide selection of wood-look and modern styles. Installation is efficient and causes minimal disruption, which makes this a good option when you need a floor that can be used quickly after the work is done. LVP works well in high-traffic areas, rooms with pets or children, and spaces where water exposure is common.

If you are comparing flooring options for a kitchen, basement, or commercial space in Springfield, Cruz Flooring can walk you through the differences between LVP and other materials during a consultation.

How LVP Installation Works in Your Space

The installation begins with preparing the subfloor to ensure it is clean, level, and dry. In Springfield homes, this often involves removing old flooring and checking for moisture issues, especially in basements. Once the subfloor is ready, the LVP planks are laid using either a click-lock system or adhesive depending on the product and the room layout.

After installation, the floor will feel stable underfoot and resist water penetration, which means spills can be wiped up without causing damage. The surface is easy to sweep and mop, and it does not require sealing or refinishing. LVP is also quieter than tile and more forgiving on joints than concrete or stone.

Cruz Flooring installs LVP in rooms of all sizes and can work around built-in fixtures, cabinetry, and irregular layouts. Most installations are completed in one to two days depending on square footage and whether the old floor needs to be removed first. The planks can be walked on immediately after installation, which makes this a practical choice when you need to use the space right away.

These are the details people want to confirm

Homeowners want to know how LVP compares to hardwood, how it performs in wet areas, and what the installation timeline looks like. These questions help clarify whether this material fits your needs.

What makes LVP different from laminate or hardwood?
LVP is fully waterproof, which makes it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where laminate or hardwood would warp. It is also more scratch-resistant than laminate and requires less maintenance than real wood.
How long does LVP last in high-traffic areas?
Quality LVP can last 15 to 20 years or more in residential settings with proper care. In commercial spaces with heavy foot traffic, the lifespan may be shorter depending on wear patterns and maintenance routines.
Can LVP be installed over existing flooring?
In some cases, yes, as long as the existing floor is smooth, level, and securely attached. Cruz Flooring will assess the condition of your current floor during the consultation to determine whether removal is necessary.
Is LVP slippery when wet?
Most LVP products have textured surfaces that provide traction even when wet, which makes them safer than tile or polished stone in kitchens and bathrooms. The level of slip resistance varies by product, so you can choose based on the room's use.
What kind of maintenance does LVP require?
LVP should be swept or vacuumed regularly to remove dirt and debris that can dull the surface. Use a damp mop with a mild cleaner designed for vinyl, and avoid abrasive scrubbers. The floor does not need waxing or refinishing.
