Luxury. Vinyl. Plank. It’s all the rage and for good reason. There are so many reasons it’s awesome. LVP is more affordable, it’s easy to install, and it’s durable. You can update all of your floors easily with click and lock LVP. My primary bedroom still had the orange toned laminate from the old owners. It was finally time to update the floors to match the rest of the house.

Orange Floors No More!

I pulled up the old floors and got ready to lay the new ones. The new floors were ordered from DuraDecor in the color Bungalow Beige. I have installed these floors in the rest of my house and love them because they are SO EASY to install. Once the old floors were pulled up and the subfloor was cleaned up I got started installing. I began with the line from the hallway since the hallway already has new floors. These floors really are as easy as click and lock. I take the plank and click the tongue on one side into the groove on the other side of previous line, lay it flat, and use the mallet to get the plank locked into place. Then I continue step by step throughout the room.

If I need to make a cut to resize the plank to fit a space, that is as easy as cut and snap. When I need to cut a plank I turn it around 180 degrees so the tongue and grooves are on opposite sides. This is because the groove that the tongue locks into is on one end of the plank. You have to rotate it to get the measurement correct on the end of the board that you need to use. Measure and use a straight line to cut. After you cut, snap the plank to get your correct length. With all of the cuts done and all of the planks locked into place the whole thing goes quickly.

Easy to Install Click and Lock LVP

LVP is so durable, it’s also warmer and a little easier on the feet and back than tile and wood. It is simple to install and is just as simple to maintain. My kids have spilled so many things on the LVP in our house and it all cleans right up. Even paint!
