LVP vs. RevWood: Which Flooring Option Is Right For Your Home?
Looking to instantly transform the look of your entire home? Two words–NEW FLOORING!
The floor is the largest space in your house, so you’ll want an option that fits your style without busting your budget. And though 20 years ago most homeowners would have simply settled for carpet, that’s certainly not the case today.
Today’s savvy homeowners are looking for options that are more durable than carpet and more affordable than true hardwood. They want flooring that can withstand damage to typical high-traffic areas. Scratch-resistant materials? They want it. Waterproof flooring options? That’s on the list, too. What about a flooring product that comes with a pet warranty? If it’s going in their home, you better bet they want it to be pet-friendly.
But let’s be real, does such a unicorn product even exist? You bet it does. In fact, there are quite a few to choose from.
From the popular Luxury Vinyl Plank to Mohawk’s new RevWood flooring products, recent advances in design, technology, and durability provide homeowners with ultimate flooring solutions unlike any we’ve ever seen before.
So how do you know which option is right for your home?
Our trusty flooring experts at Pool Brothers are sharing the inside scoop on both products to help you decide.
LVP Flooring
Your heart is set on wood floors. Your pockets on the other hand–not so much. In recent years, LVP (or Luxury Vinyl Plank) flooring has picked up steam due to being a cost-effective alternative to wood floors. This 100% waterproof flooring option has the same look and feel as real wood, but without the same level of maintenance required.
LVP may be a good option for your home if:
You need flooring for high-traffic areas that’s capable of withstanding the test of time.
You prefer colors and design options that aren’t available for hardwood floors.
Your top priority is flooring that’s resistant to scuffs, scratches, and other damage.
A low-maintenance flooring option sounds like a dream.
Mohawk’s RevWood Flooring
Laminate flooring, which is composed of very thin materials meshed together, was not typically known for its durability. However, flooring manufacturer Mohawk recently released a line of laminate flooring that is a step above the rest. Pool Brothers started offering Mohawk's RevWood flooring to give homeowners a laminate option that is not only durable but also truly gives the appearance of real wood floors.
RevWood may be a good option for your home if:
You’re looking for flooring that comes with a great warranty, including a pet warranty.
Just the thought of potential scratches on your new floor makes you break into a cold sweat.
You’re installing flooring in a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or another room that could be prone to water damage.
You prefer colors and styles that aren’t available with real hardwood flooring options.
The Real Difference Between LVP & RevWood Flooring
Both LVP and RevWood offer homeowners the look of real wood floors and the peace of mind that comes with damage-resistant solutions. The main difference between the two is the material each is made of. LVP is made of vinyl, while RevWood is a laminate flooring product. Additionally, both products have varying design options due to their differences in material.
