I often have clients that would love to put hardwood throughout their entire house, including their bath, laundry, kithen and foyer. Hardwood is beautiful, but not recommended in high moisture areas, so what to do?
When I show my clients samples of such realistic looking vinyl flooring as Karndean's Da Vinci Plank or Armstrong's Luxe Plank, they're amazed it's not hardwood. It looks and feels that realistic!
What I love about Karndean's product in particular, is that you can integrate such high-end details as the mitered double border shown here.
Karndean makes a luxury vinyl tile, as well as plank. This allows you to mix and match different looks without having to worry about height differences. For example, I will sometimes use a Karndean tile in the kitchen and foyer, bordered by a Karndean woodplank. I then carry that same wood plank into the living and dining areas, for a cohesive and ultra elegant look.
Armstrong's Luxe Plank doesn't allow for this type of design versatility, but it has the advantage of being easier for the homeowner to install than Karndean. This is because it does not have to be adhered to the subfloor, but is glued together with self adhesive tabs.
Luxury vinyl plank flooring now comes with a protective topcoat that doesn't require polish. You simply use a PH balanced cleaner for regular maintenance. It's that easy!
If you would like to see a beautiful example of Karndean, take a look at this year's PNE Prize Home, where it was used throughout the entire main floor!
