The trend toward longer, wider planks first took hold in the hardwood category, especially in Southern California. While this trend is still relatively new in Laminates and Vinyls, and has yet to fully geographically saturate, there is clear evidence that this movement along with all of its current offerings will continue for the foreseeable future.
Because laminate and vinyl are tough, water-resistant, low-maintenance materials with many of the same visual and aesthetic properties as natural hardwoods, they are often thought of as being a viable alternative to hardwood. Laminate and Vinyl come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and styles, with interlocking or click together planks that can make installing the floors much easier than traditional hardwood floor installation. These are a great budget pick for those who want the luxurious look of long and wide planks without the wood hassle or the price tag.
