I can’t believe it’s already been a year with my luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors from Flooret! Before I get to my 1 year experience, let’s rewind a little. One of the most important factors in deciding what type of flooring we wanted was the fact that we have dogs. Big dogs lol. We knew we needed something very durable, easy to clean and waterproof for all their drool, but also very modern looking. The Flooret LVP was absolutely PERFECT.

When we first started looking at all of the selections that Flooret offered, it was super hard to decide, because they have so many good LVP plank collections. Understanding our lifestyle needs narrowed things down a bit. I knew we didn’t want dark floors because we have light colored hair dogs. And dark floors show everything. Knowing that I am always changing my wall colors lol, I wanted a floor that would complement a variety of paint colors as well. The great thing is that Flooret makes it super easy to order flooring samples (Click here to order samples)! After looking at a bunch of samples, I went with the Kingswood Signature. It has a tone that is modern, classic and warm, and still gives that hardwood look and doesn’t compete with the neighboring kitchen floor tile. The minimal knots and the larger plank size was also something that I liked, so that the floor will appear more seamless and modern.

These floors are super easy to DIY. We installed the floor ourselves over a weekend!

One of the cool things about LVP is that unlike hardwood floors, there’s no need for acclimation. So, we were able to get right to work when they arrived. After installing click and lock LVP at my sister’s hair salon, the hubs and I were confident about installation. This leads me to one of the BIGGEST selling points: These floors are super easy to DIY. We installed the floor ourselves over a weekend!

SO! The big test was how the 3 dogs would fare on our floors. It’s now a year later, and I cannot be any happier! Here’s why:

  • The scratch resistant nature of the floor has held up perfectly. It literally looks like no claws have touched it, let alone the claws of 3 playful dogs who couldn’t care less what they scratch up ha.
  • The floor has held up against all of their drool, water spills, and the construction messes of our DIY projects.
  • As mentioned, I change wall colors often ha. I totally redecorated our living room since installing the floor, and as I hoped the floor complements perfectly with the new brown wall color
  • Easy to clean! I’m able to use my 2-in-1 vacuum/mop to easily clean the floors of residue that accumulates over time.
  • It looks LIKE NEW even a whole year later and I expect it to look just as new 10 years from now. I’m confident that it will, because the Kingswood Signature has a wear layer that is amazing. How amazing you ask?? Well the industry standard wear layer is 7-Mil, and Kingswood Signature has a whopping 40-mil wear layer. So, it will hold its visual integrity for a long time to say the least.

At this point, it would take a ton of convincing to get me to ever do wood floors again. Our old wood floors were fading over time, scratched from the dogs and furniture being moved, and would easily chip. I know hardwood floors are classic, but I’m simply in love with my Flooret LVP which is now THE NEW CLASSIC. You have the very realistic look of wood but the durability of vinyl. We will continue installing the LVP throughout our home as we complete more projects. If you have any questions about installation or the Flooret LVP product, we can chat in the comments section.
