Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is completely waterproof and softer underfoot, making it perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and those basement spaces common in Commack homes. It mimics wood or stone incredibly well and handles moisture, pets, and heavy traffic without breaking a sweat.
Laminate feels more like real wood and often costs less, but water can damage it if moisture gets between planks. Great for living areas and bedrooms where spills aren’t a daily concern. Both install quickly and need minimal maintenance compared to traditional hardwood.
