Avoid installing laminate in high-moisture or water-prone areas like basements, kitchens, or bathrooms. While laminate is comparable to vinyl sheets in terms of cost, it’s is not as durable as vinyl, shouldn’t be exposed to heat, is not waterproof, and lasts only 10 years. Laminate is made up of a composite of materials and mimics the look of hardwood or stone, thanks to a photographic image that’s embossed on its surface.
Price, on average, not including installation, starts at $1.39 per square foot and increases from there depending on thickness, quality, and manufacturer guarantees.
Installation is generally easy to tackle, even for those who may be new to home improvement projects.Ĭost: Prices vary and will depend on whether you choose an engineered vinyl plank (EVP), luxury vinyl plank (LVP), waterproof vinyl plank (WVP), or rigid core vinyl plank (SVP), which is a stone composite version-ideal for high-traffic areas. Vinyl planks can be glued down or installed with a peel-and-stick, or click-and-lock system. And unlike sheet vinyl, planks come in small sizes, making the entire installation process easier. If you’re looking for a realistic hardwood or stone alternative, plank vinyl is the cheapest choice for rivaling the look of pricier flooring.
