The most popular flooring in Greater Columbus
Luxury vinyl plank is one of the top-selling flooring categories in North America, and it's not hard to see why. It's 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, kid- and pet-proof, looks indistinguishable from hardwood, and typically costs less installed than solid or engineered hardwood.
Ohio Carpet and Flooring stocks LVP from Shaw, Armstrong, Karndean, Mannington, Centura, Kraus, and Harbinger, including the rigid-core SPC and WPC products designers specify on luxury renovations.
How to choose the right LVP
Three numbers tell you almost everything about an LVP product: wear layer, core construction, and total thickness. We'll walk you through what they mean during the consultation.
- Wear layer 12-20 mil, residential, light traffic (rentals, bedrooms)
- Wear layer 22 mil, residential whole-home (most popular)
- Wear layer 28-30 mil, heavy residential and commercial
- SPC core (stone polymer composite), rigid, won't telegraph subfloor imperfections
- WPC core (wood polymer composite), softer underfoot, warmer feel
- Total thickness 5mm-8mm, thicker is quieter and more forgiving
Click-lock vs. glue-down installation
Click-lock LVP floats over the subfloor, installs fast, and is easy to repair. Glue-down LVP feels more solid underfoot, is quieter, and is the better choice for very large open areas and high-traffic commercial spaces. We'll recommend the right method based on your subfloor and room layout, and we install both. Basement and slab-on-grade rooms, so common in Central Ohio homes, are where LVP tends to make the most sense over solid wood.
Professional LVP installation
The difference between a great LVP install and a bad one is in the subfloor. We level every dip, fill every low spot, and use the manufacturer-required underlayment. Our crews also handle stair nosings (custom-milled to match when factory nosings aren't available), baseboard removal/reinstall, and full disposal of your existing floor.

Luxury Vinyl Plank - frequently asked questions
Yes, LVP is one of the best basement flooring options, and a common choice for the finished basements found across Greater Columbus. It's waterproof, handles concrete subfloors without acclimation issues, and feels far warmer than tile.
The top wear layer is highly scratch-resistant, but it isn't indestructible. Dog claws and heavy furniture being dragged across it can scuff cheaper LVP. We recommend a 20+ mil wear layer for households with large dogs.
Quality LVP with a 22+ mil wear layer lasts 20-25 years in a typical home. Commercial-rated LVP can go 25-30 years.
Reputable brands are FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and CARB Phase II compliant for formaldehyde. The LVP we sell is safe to install in nurseries and homes with sensitivities. Our vinyl flooring page covers the other vinyl formats if plank isn't the right fit for every room.
