Frequently asked questions
Does LVP look cheap?+
Modern semi-custom LVP with subway-pattern or stone-look panels is hard to distinguish from tile at a few feet away. The look has improved a lot in the last decade.
Does tile hold up in humid Florida rooms?+
Tile is fine in humid climates when waterproofing is done correctly, sheet or liquid membrane behind the tile, not just thinset. The risk isn't tile failing; it's grout staining faster than in drier climates. Plan on resealing grout more often or pick LVP if low maintenance matters.
