Luxury Vinyl Plank Sales & Installation

WPC luxury vinyl plank

WPC is luxury vinyl plank built on a wood-plastic composite core, and it is what we recommend for homes in East Tennessee. That includes homes with wood subfloors and prepared concrete slabs. The core is the thick middle of the plank, and WPC's version has a little give underfoot.

Our region swings from humid summers to dry winter heat. We've watched WPC hold up through those changing seasons, and that experience is why we start with it for a home. We also prefer its warmer, quieter feel when you are standing in the kitchen or walking through the house. Compare samples underfoot as well as by color.

For the full cross-section, our article What Is LVP Made Of? walks through every layer, from the surface you walk on to the pad underneath.

SPC luxury vinyl plank

SPC is luxury vinyl plank built on a stone-plastic composite core. It is denser, harder and more rigid than WPC. Its main place for us is commercial work, installed glue-down, where rolling loads and constant traffic are part of the decision.

SPC also has an honest place in rentals, flips and tighter budgets. WPC generally runs more per square foot, and the more expensive choice is not automatically the right purchase. Tell us how the rooms will be used and what you want to spend. We will compare appropriate products, including the less expensive choice when it fits the job.

Can you put LVP on a concrete slab?

Yes, when the slab is suitable for the selected floor. The subfloor is the surface underneath the new flooring, and flatness matters for both WPC and SPC. A click-together plank cannot correct an uneven slab. Preparation belongs in the estimate before the new floor goes down.

Our pick for a home is still WPC, including over a slab. Ask us about underlayment when we assess a concrete floor. The right choice depends on the plank and the room, so bring the product name before buying an extra layer. If you are weighing plank against wood, our hardwood page covers that choice.

What do we look for in an LVP floor?

For most homes, we recommend a WPC plank with at least a 20 mil wear layer. The wear layer is the clear layer over the printed design, measured in mils (thousandths of an inch). It is one of the first things we compare when choosing a floor for daily use.

That is our home recommendation, not a description of every product we sell. The right choice for a commercial space or a rental may be different. Choose the floor for the room before you choose the color.

Can I buy LVP without installation?

Yes. We sell LVP as materials only, with no trade account required. Bring your measurements and the product name if you have already chosen a floor. We will help you work out the order and confirm availability before you plan pickup or installation.

Shopping by brand? Explore COREtec luxury vinyl flooring or Shaw luxury vinyl before visiting the Madisonville showroom. Our flooring brands page explains material-only buying. A sample on display does not mean the selected floor is ready to take home that day.

What goes into an LVP installation estimate?

The plank is one part of the installed price. Room layout, old flooring removal, preparation, transitions to adjoining floors, trim and furniture arrangements can change the work. Tell us what is in place now and which rooms are changing so we can discuss the complete scope.

We confirm the proposed work, material availability and schedule with you. Our installation carries a two-year workmanship warranty. The manufacturer's product warranty is separate and depends on the floor you choose.
