The most-requested flooring in Lockport, IL
Luxury vinyl plank is the single most-installed flooring category we quote, and it's easy to see why. It's 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, looks close to indistinguishable from real wood.
Capital Flooring stocks LVP from Shaw, Armstrong, Karndean, Mannington, and Kraus, including rigid-core products built for busy family homes.
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 at your in-home visit.
- Wear layer 12-20 mil - residential, light traffic (rentals, bedrooms)
- Wear layer 22 mil - residential whole-home (our most-installed option)
- Wear layer 28-30 mil - heavy residential and light commercial use
- Rigid composite core - stiff, won't telegraph subfloor imperfections
- Flexible composite core - softer underfoot, a slightly warmer feel
- Total thickness 5mm-8mm - thicker planks are 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 and is quieter, and it's the better choice for large open areas and high-traffic spaces. We'll recommend the right method based on your subfloor and room layout - and we install both.
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 crew also handles stair nosings (custom-milled to match when factory nosings aren't available - see our vinyl stair page), baseboard removal and reinstall, and full disposal of your existing floor.
Luxury Vinyl Plank - frequently asked questions
Yes - LVP is one of the best basement flooring options. It's waterproof, handles concrete subfloors without acclimation issues, and feels warmer than most hard-surface alternatives.
The top wear layer is highly scratch-resistant, but not indestructible. Dog claws and heavy furniture dragged across it can scuff cheaper LVP, so 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.
Reputable brands are certified for indoor air quality and low formaldehyde emissions. The LVP we sell is safe to install in nurseries and homes with sensitivities. Ready to see samples? Book your free estimate.
