Budget-Friendly Flooring: Luxury Vinyl Plank Over Existing Floors
Renovating on a budget? Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring could be the perfect choice. Not only does it offer a luxurious look at a lower cost, but it also provides the option to install it over your existing floors, provided they’re in good condition.
When Can You Install LVP Over Existing Floors?
If your current flooring is solid and level, LVP can be installed right on top, which eliminates the need for demolition and saves on labor costs. However, if the existing floor is a floating floor or has significant damage, removing it will be necessary before LVP installation to ensure a stable base.
Cost-Effective and Durable
LVP is typically about 50% cheaper to install than tile, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious homeowners. It’s also incredibly durable, resistant to scratches, and available in a variety of styles and textures to mimic hardwood or stone. By avoiding demolition and going with LVP, you can cut costs while achieving a stylish, high-end look.
In short, LVP over existing floors offers a practical, affordable, and attractive solution for any space—without sacrificing quality or appearance.
