A Few Things to Consider Before Purchasing Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring 

–Texture-The surface contributes to the overall durability and makes the surface less slippery. 

–Waterproof or water resistant- Installation must be done properly, most water-resistant versions are great options for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, laundry rooms and high traffic areas. Water resistant styles also work well in high humidity regions of the country.  

–Layers of construction-The wear layer that is 5 mm thick or more works well in areas with high traffic. The higher the number the more durable the overall quality will be resulting in best wear and tear for the demands of the home or business.  

-Finish-Consider no wax finishes for areas with low traffic and low humidity. Enhanced urethane finishes provide a glossy look and are the most resistant to scratches and work well in high traffic areas.
