The floor most East Texas homeowners choose

Luxury vinyl plank has become the top-selling flooring category in the country, and it's easy to see why once you've walked on it. It's fully waterproof, scratch-resistant, holds up to kids and dogs, looks nearly identical to real hardwood, and installs for roughly half the cost.

East Texas Floor Source stocks LVP from Shaw, Mohawk, Mannington, and Quick-Step, including the rigid SPC and WPC core products that hold up especially well over a concrete slab, which is how most homes in Wood County are built.

How to pick the right LVP for your home

Three numbers tell you almost everything about an LVP product: wear layer, core construction, and total thickness. We'll walk through what each one means for your specific rooms during the consultation.

  • Wear layer 12-20 mil - light residential traffic (rentals, guest bedrooms)
  • Wear layer 22 mil - full residential use (our most common recommendation)
  • Wear layer 28-30 mil - heavy residential and light commercial use
  • SPC core (stone polymer composite) - rigid, won't telegraph subfloor imperfections
  • WPC core (wood polymer composite) - softer and warmer underfoot
  • Total thickness 5mm-8mm - thicker planks are quieter and more forgiving over an imperfect subfloor

Click-lock or glue-down installation

Click-lock LVP floats over the subfloor, goes in fast, and is easy to repair down the road. Glue-down LVP feels more solid underfoot, runs quieter, and is the better call for large open floor plans and small commercial spaces. We'll recommend the right method for your subfloor and layout, and our crew installs both.

How we install LVP

The real difference between a great LVP job and a mediocre one is in the subfloor prep. We level every dip, fill every low spot, and use the underlayment the manufacturer specifies. Our crew also handles stair nosings (milled in-house to match when a factory nosing isn't available), baseboard removal and reinstall, and hauling off your old floor.

Luxury Vinyl Plank - frequently asked questions

Very well - it's one of the best choices for a slab foundation, which most homes around here have. It's waterproof, doesn't need the acclimation time hardwood does over concrete, and feels considerably warmer underfoot than tile.

The wear layer resists scratching well, but it isn't indestructible. Dog claws and furniture dragged across cheaper LVP can leave marks, which is why we recommend a 20-mil or thicker wear layer for households with larger dogs.

Quality LVP with a 22-mil or thicker wear layer usually lasts 20-25 years in a home. Commercial-rated product can go 25-30 years even under heavier use.

The brands we carry are FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and meet CARB Phase II formaldehyde standards, so it's safe to install in nurseries or homes with someone sensitive to fumes.
