The cost of luxury vinyl flooring is approximately $5-$12 per square foot, with additional charges for installation. Expect to pay an additional cost of $5-$10 per square foot to cover installation costs and transition or trim pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comparison:  LVT\/LVP and Laminate are EVEN with the cost category<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mixed-vinyl-plank.jpg\" alt=\"pros and cons of vinyl plank flooring\" class=\"wp-image-4482\" width=\"403\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mixed-vinyl-plank.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mixed-vinyl-plank-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/mixed-vinyl-plank-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-performance\"><small>Performance<\/small><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flooring manufacturers use high-density fiberboard (a combination of resin and wood byproducts) to create the core of laminate. Then, they attach a photo of real wood covered with a wear layer.  Lastly, they add a coating of aluminum oxide for protection. Laminate is popular with many homeowners because it is scratch-resistant and cost-efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a wood-based product, laminate flooring is not recommended for areas of the home with excessive moisture or humidity. Over time, high humidity is likely to cause buckling or gapping in laminate floors. If you need flooring that can withstand heavy foot traffic laminate flooring may suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luxury vinyl is available in two styles: tile, better known as LVT; and plank, better known as LVP. LVT mimics the appearance of stone, marble, and slate. Whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/vinyl\/vinyl-plank-flooring\/\">luxury vinyl plank<\/a> mimics the appearance of hardwood. Depending on the style and product you choose, there are two methods for installing luxury vinyl products. The &#8220;floating method&#8221; is when the planks or tiles interlock but do not attach to the subfloor. There is also the &#8220;glue-down method&#8221; which is when the product is glued to the substrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luxury vinyl\u2019s molecular structure makes it durable, dimensionally stable, and impervious to moisture. If you need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/basement-flooring\/\">new flooring in your basement<\/a>, bathroom, or kitchen, luxury vinyl is a smart choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comparison:  Luxury Vinyl wins performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wood-flooring-in-mezzanine.jpg\" alt=\"premium vinyl flooring\" class=\"wp-image-4483\" width=\"450\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wood-flooring-in-mezzanine.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wood-flooring-in-mezzanine-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wood-flooring-in-mezzanine-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ease-of-maintenance\"><small>Ease of Maintenance<\/small><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/resources\/vinyl-vs-laminate-flooring\/\">Laminate and luxury vinyl<\/a> flooring\u2019s smooth surface makes it easy to clean. A microfiber duster or a broom is sufficient to remove any crumbs, dirt, or dust. Unfortunately, using a wet mop on laminate flooring will eventually lead to buckling, swelling, and chipping of the planks. Luxury vinyl flooring takes the lead in this category of our comparison because of its moisture-resistant properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comparison: Luxury Vinyl wins ease of maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in Southeast Michigan and would like additional information on luxury vinyl, laminate, hardwood, or carpet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/schedule\/\">schedule a free in-home estimate<\/a> from The Carpet Guys.
