Reader Q & A: LVP Flooring

how to install LVP flooring

Our original plan was to gradually replace each bedroom’s carpet with oak hardwood flooring, but with several other home expenses that need our attention, we decided to go for Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring. Having installed it multiple times, we knew it would hold up well in our busy house. We are tackling all of your questions today about LVP!
