Denver Vinyl Flooring Experts
Knots Flooring is Colorado’s trusted choice for LVP flooring, combining style with durability.
LVP Flooring
Knots Flooring installs luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors for homes and commercial spaces across the Denver area. LVP is chosen for practical reasons: it handles moisture, temperature changes, and daily wear better than many traditional materials, and it does so without the need for significant upkeep. At Knots, our role is to make sure the LVP in our collection is carefully selected and correctly installed so it performs as intended over time.
Luxury vinyl plank is built in layers, each serving a purpose. A stable core resists movement, a wear layer protects against scratches and scuffs, and the surface pattern replicates wood grain with surprising accuracy. When installed properly, LVP can perform exceptionally in kitchens, basements, entryways, and commercial interiors where real wood might struggle.
We work with LVP flooring designed for real use, not products that look good for a year or two but begin to deteriorate shortly thereafter. Thickness, locking systems, and wear-layer ratings are all reviewed before a recommendation is made. A plank that looks good on day one but fails under foot traffic or moisture exposure is not acceptable.
Installation that starts below the surface
LVP installation depends heavily on what lies underneath. We inspect the subfloor to confirm it is level, dry, and structurally sound before any planks are laid. Uneven surfaces are corrected, and transitions are planned so the finished floor meets walls, doorways, and adjoining materials with clean edges.
The layout of the planks is planned before installation begins – this includes direction, stagger patterns, and cut placement. When finished, the floor sits flush, feels solid underfoot, and holds uniform expansion gaps across the entire area.
A practical alternative to wood
Many clients choose LVP when they want the look of wood without the sensitivity that comes with it. Vinyl flooring does not expand and contract in the same way hardwood does, which makes them more forgiving in areas with changing humidity or slab foundations. Cleaning is simple, and maintenance does not require refinishing or specialized treatments.
That does not mean all LVP is equal. Lower-quality planks can sound hollow, wear unevenly, or fail at the joints. We steer clients toward materials proven to perform under the demands of their space, rather than products that only look good in photos.
Residential and commercial applications
In homes, LVP is often used in high-traffic areas, open floor plans, and lower levels where moisture resistance is important. In commercial settings, it performs well in offices, retail spaces, and other environments where durability and consistent appearance matter.
We plan installations around how the space functions day to day. That includes scheduling work to reduce disruption and selecting materials rated for the level of traffic the floor will see over time. No matter if we’re working on a small residential job or a big commercial project, we’ll put in the exact same level of care through every phase of planning, install, and aftercare.
Choosing the Right LVP
Plank thickness, wear-layer depth, and core construction all affect how LVP performs over time. Thicker planks provide more rigidity and help mask minor subfloor variation, which makes them a better fit for larger rooms or areas with existing floors beneath. A deeper wear layer improves resistance to scuffs and surface abrasion, which matters in entries, kitchens, and other high-traffic zones.
Core type plays a major role in stability. Rigid core LVP performs well in spaces with temperature swings or direct sunlight, where expansion and contraction can become an issue. Flexible core products work best in controlled environments with flat substrates. Wider planks alter the visual rhythm of a room and can make open layouts feel calmer, while narrower boards suit smaller spaces or older, more traditional homes.
Finish and texture affect both appearance and function. Matte finishes reduce glare and hide scratches more effectively. Embossed textures add realism and also improve traction underfoot, great for areas where moisture or spills are more common. Browse our wide selection of vinyl floors below.

Frequently asked questions about LVP
How does luxury vinyl plank compare to hardwood in day-to-day use?
Vinyl plank is a very resilient flooring. It offers better resistance to moisture and surface wear than hardwood, making it a smart choice for busy spaces. It delivers a wood-look surface without the upkeep requirements of natural wood.
What’s the difference between LVP and laminate?
Laminate has a wood‑based core with a scratch‑resistant surface, making it ideal for dry areas. LVP is fully synthetic and waterproof, so it holds up to moisture and heavy use in kitchens, bathrooms, and high‑traffic spaces. Laminate works well in general living areas, while LVP offers more versatility across homes and commercial spaces.
Is LVP cheaper than hardwood?
Yes, pretty much always! LVP typically costs less than hardwood when you look at materials, the time it takes to install, and long-term upkeep. If you’re looking to install a new floor and worried about financing, LVP is almost certainly the best option – it offers the look of wood with both lower upfront costs and fewer maintenance expenses.
Can I see your current collection before installing?
Yes. We’ll go over flooring samples with you so you can review all the available styles, colors, and finishes during your estimate. This allows you to make a decision with the vinyl samples in the context of lighting, layout, and surrounding materials rather than from a catalog alone.
Is LVP a good option for waterproof flooring?
LVP is a fantastic waterproof flooring and performs well in areas exposed to spills or humidity when installed correctly. Proper subfloor preparation and seam integrity matter just as much as the product itself.
Do I need to visit your shop to get started?
No, you get to skip the trip out to the flooring shop when you choose our services. Most clients begin with an on-site visit where measurements are taken and options are reviewed directly in the space where the floor will be installed.
Can LVP be installed in a single room without replacing the rest of the floor?
Yes. LVP works well for targeted updates and can be installed in individual rooms as long as transitions and height differences are planned properly.
How does LVP compare to tile in kitchens or entryways?
LVP offers a warmer feel underfoot and quieter performance than tile while still handling moisture and traffic. It can be a practical alternative where tile feels too hard or cold.
