Frequently asked questions
Does LVP look cheap?+
Modern LVP with stone-look or wood-look finishes is hard to distinguish from tile at a few feet away. The look has improved a lot in the last decade.
How bad is hard water on a new tile floor in Phoenix?+
Valley water is hard enough that any grout will mineralize without a routine. Re-sealing grout every 1–2 years keeps a tile floor looking new. LVP forgives skipped maintenance more.
