Vinyl Plank was first introduced in the 1930's and in that time it has made leaps and bounds in terms of effectively imitating the look and feel of hardwood flooring. It is now available in hundreds of different styles and colors that fit any design scheme and can be installed on almost any flat surface. What people might not know is the numerous advantages that Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Engineered Vinyl Plank (EVP) have over traditional hardwood and other flooring options.
