The most requested flooring in Rockford

Luxury vinyl plank is now the top-selling flooring category in North America, and it's easy to see why once you've lived with it - 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, kid- and pet-proof, and close enough to real hardwood that most guests need to bend down and touch it to tell the difference.

Flooring Trends stocks LVP from several major manufacturers, including rigid-core SPC and WPC products, and every install is handled by our own employees rather than a subcontracted crew. That consistency is part of why we're sitting at a 5.0 rating across [57 Google reviews](/reviews).

How to choose the right LVP

Three numbers tell you almost everything about an LVP product: wear layer, core construction, and total thickness. We'll walk you through what they mean during your free in-home consultation, samples in hand.

  • Wear layer 12-20 mil - residential, light traffic (rentals, bedrooms)
  • Wear layer 22 mil - residential whole-home (most popular)
  • Wear layer 28-30 mil - heavy residential and commercial
  • SPC core (stone polymer composite) - rigid, won't telegraph subfloor imperfections
  • WPC core (wood polymer composite) - softer underfoot, warmer feel
  • Total thickness 5mm-8mm - thicker is quieter and more forgiving

Click-lock vs. glue-down installation

Click-lock LVP floats over the subfloor, installs fast, and is easy to repair. Glue-down LVP feels more solid underfoot, is quieter, and is the better choice for very large open areas and high-traffic commercial spaces - see our [commercial flooring](/commercial-flooring) page if that's your project. We'll recommend the right method based on your subfloor and room layout, and we install both.

Installation from our own Rockford crew

The difference between a great LVP install and a bad one is in the subfloor. We level every dip, fill every low spot, and use the manufacturer-required underlayment. Our team also handles [stair nosings](/vinyl-flooring-stairs) (custom-milled to match when factory nosings aren't available), baseboard removal/reinstall, and full disposal of your existing floor.

Luxury Vinyl Plank - frequently asked questions

Yes - LVP is one of the best basement flooring options. It's waterproof, handles concrete subfloors without acclimation issues, and feels far warmer than tile.

The top wear layer is highly scratch-resistant, but it isn't indestructible. Dog claws and heavy furniture being dragged across it can scuff cheaper LVP. We recommend a 20+ mil wear layer for households with large dogs.

Quality LVP with a 22+ mil wear layer lasts 20-25 years in a typical home. Commercial-rated LVP can go 25-30 years.

Reputable brands are FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and CARB Phase II compliant for formaldehyde. The LVP we sell is safe to install in nurseries and homes with sensitivities.
