Hardwood vs. LVP floors: Which is right for your home? 🏡

It’s one of the most common questions we get, so let’s break it down 👇

💰 Cost
Hardwood: can be more expensive
LVP: more budget friendly

🐾 Durability
Hardwood: natural material, can scratch/dent
LVP: luxury vinyl plank- more scratch resistant, great for pets & high traffic

🌳 Material
Hardwood: 100% natural wood
LVP: man-made vinyl

🎨 Style Variety
LVP: endless style & color variation
Hardwood: multiple species & tones (oak, pine, walnut, etc.)

📏 Customization
LVP: choose your wear layer & thickness (6-22 mil wear layer, 2mm-6mm thickness)
Tip: the higher # = more durable
Hardwood: choose your finish seal/coating for added protection

✨ At the end of the day, there’s no “wrong” answer — it’s about what fits YOUR lifestyle, budget, and home goals.
