Laminate vs LVP. Same look, very different performance. Here's what actually separates them:
🪵 Laminate: Features a wood composite core. It looks beautiful and is budget-friendly, but it is NOT 100% waterproof. Standing water can cause edges to swell and warp over time.
💧 LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank): Built with a synthetic core, making it completely waterproof and a far better fit for mudrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
🦶 Feel Underfoot: LVP is slightly softer and quieter underfoot. Laminate can feel firmer, but can sound hollow without quality underlayment.
Neither is the wrong choice. It just depends on the room, your budget, and how your household lives.
