Is luxury vinyl flooring cold underfoot?


One of the common misconceptions about luxury vinyl tile and plank is that it’s cold underfoot. Hard surface flooring is thought of this way, but there are some facts you should know about them.

These floors can be a fantastic choice, even on cold winter days. However, here are some things to consider regarding your floor's temperature.

Luxury vinyl underlayment


With the proper underlayment, you'll find these floors are warmer than you might think. Underlayment adds warmth, comfort, and a softer step wherever it's installed.

Some underlayments are attached to the flooring, so you don’t have to purchase a separate product for your LVP floors. But you also have good options for picking the specific materials you want.

Radiant heating and luxury vinyl


Another option for a warm, comfortable underfoot experience is radiant heating. With this heating method, the floor is warmed evenly, with outstanding results, even to the farthest corners of the room.

You'll never have to worry about a cold experience with the correct installation, even in winter. And when you choose the suitable options for your flooring, they can last more than 20 years.
