What’s the Difference?
Laminate Flooring
Laminate is made from compressed fiberboard with a photographic image of wood on top. It’s tough, affordable, and offers good scratch resistance—perfect for dry areas like bedrooms and living rooms.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
LVP mimics the look of hardwood but is fully waterproof. It’s ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where spills or humidity are common—especially in older Easley homes with subfloor moisture.
Which Is Best for You?
For Pet Owners in Greer:
There are great options in both LVP and Laminate—both easy to clean and resists damage from claws and accidents. Our top picks would be Mohawks Revwood line of Laminate, or Karndeans LVP products.
For Budget-Conscious Easley Homeowners:
Laminate and LVP offer great value without sacrificing style. For budget conscious homeowners, we recommend our engineered floors laminate line or our Mohawk Puretech RPC (similar to LVP)
For Busy Households:
Both options are low-maintenance, but LVP wins for waterproofing and quiet underfoot feel. To get the best look and feel of Hardwood, we recommend going with a laminate.
