Pet Owners – Luxury Vinyl Planks is the perfect flooring for your home! It’s waterproof, resistant to surface damage and it’s easy to clean. I have 2 dogs that love to go swimming in the creek on our property and then roll around the yard. When they come in they leave puddles of water and sand.
All but 2 rooms in our home have the original, wide plank, pine floors. This soft wood has been easy to clean but easy to dent and scratch. I’ve been looking for a plank finish that would match the knotty, yellow, pine floors, honey oak trim and the weathered, grey, barn board siding throughout our home. Not easy to blend all theses colors thanks to the strong “gray” palette trends the last few years. I finally found a style that combines all three of the colors.
If you own a decent table saw, you can easily install this flooring yourself. The planks have a tongue and groove like system that clicks into place. If your floors aren’t even or perfectly flat there will be some challenges but it still works. The planks also come with the underlayer built in so it installs on top of the subfloor or over old, vinyl flooring without additional steps. There is no adhesive required either. After it is all laid out with a 1/4″ space around the edge of the room, you will need to install some molding strips to keep it secure.
