Looking for flooring that combines visual appeal with practical performance? Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring from Against the Grain Flooring in Nanaimo offers a smart, stylish solution for homes that see real life — and lots of foot traffic.
Made to resemble the look of natural wood or stone, LVP gives you the high-end finish you love with the durability your space demands. Whether you're renovating a busy family kitchen, refreshing your bathroom, or upgrading a basement, vinyl plank delivers on all fronts: style, strength, and easy upkeep.
Why Choose Vinyl Plank?
At Against the Grain Flooring, we’ve installed hundreds of LVP floors throughout Nanaimo and surrounding areas. We know what works — and we know how to install it right the first time. Luxury vinyl plank is:
Water-resistant, perfect for kitchens, baths, and basements
Tough enough for high-traffic zones
Quieter underfoot, thanks to its sound-absorbing core
Low-maintenance, needing just a quick sweep and occasional mop
Beautifully realistic, thanks to advanced design and textured finishes
Types of Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring
We offer three types of LVP to suit your space, lifestyle, and budget. Here’s a quick breakdown:
1. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
This is the classic vinyl plank flooring — durable, budget-conscious, and easy to install. It features multiple layers, including a tough wear layer and a high-definition print layer that mimics hardwood or stone. Ideal for anyone looking for quality flooring that doesn't break the bank.
2. Stone Plastic Composite (SPC)
Built with a rigid stone-based core, SPC flooring is incredibly strong and dimensionally stable. It resists dents, scratches, and temperature changes, making it the go-to choice for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas like kitchens, entryways, and basements.
3. Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)
WPC blends wood fibers and plastic for a softer, more cushioned feel underfoot. It’s warm, quiet, and easy to live on — especially great for living rooms, bedrooms, and family spaces where comfort matters most.
What Makes Vinyl Plank Flooring a Great Choice?
Here’s why more and more Nanaimo homeowners are turning to luxury vinyl plank flooring:
✔ Easy to Install & Care For
Our team makes the installation process smooth and efficient, but vinyl plank’s click-lock system also allows for faster installs. Cleaning? Just sweep regularly and mop as needed.
✔ Natural Looks Without the Fuss
LVP mimics the detail and texture of wood or stone, giving you a high-end look without the maintenance demands of real hardwood or tile.
✔ Quiet & Comfortable
Thanks to its multi-layered construction, vinyl plank flooring absorbs sound and adds comfort underfoot — no more echoey footsteps or chilly toes.
✔ Water-Resistant
From bathroom splashes to kitchen spills, vinyl plank stands up to moisture. No warping, no swelling — just reliable performance.
