An oceanfront home is more than just a place to live; it’s a lifestyle. The sound of the waves, the salty air, and those breathtaking views are priceless. But the same elements that make coastal living so desirable can take a toll on your home’s interior especially the floors. This is a story about a close call: a client who nearly made a disastrous flooring choice for their stunning oceanfront property, but found the perfect solution just in time with Canopy LVP.
Choosing the right flooring is a major decision, and for a home by the sea, the stakes are even higher. We recently worked with a client whose home boasts an absolutely unreal ocean view. They needed a floor that could not only stand up to the unique challenges of a coastal environment but also complement the natural beauty right outside their windows. Initially, they were told that laminate would fit their needs. That, however, is a common and costly misconception when Canopy LVP is the option designed for this very scenario.
The Problem with Laminate in Coastal Homes
Laminate flooring has some appeal, but it simply can’t compete with LVP when it comes to oceanfront conditions. Oceanfront properties are exposed daily to salt spray, relentless humidity, and the sand that inevitably ends up inside.
Why is laminate a mistake for ocean locations?
- Moisture is the Enemy: Laminate uses a fiberboard core, and the minute it’s exposed to moisture from salty air or tracked in sand it can swell, warp, and bubble. In an oceanfront home, these issues aren’t just possible they’re guaranteed. With Canopy LVP, you never have to worry about buckling or swelling, no matter the conditions.
- Salt and Sand Damage: Laminate’s wear layer can only handle so much. Salt and sand grind away at the surface, leaving visible scratches and a dull finish over time. In contrast, Canopy LVP is engineered for coastal durability, handling everyday wear and tear without losing its good looks.
- Irreversible Damage: Once water penetrates a laminate plank, the core is permanently damaged replacement is the only fix, and that’s an expensive lesson. Canopy LVP is built with waterproof performance in mind, letting you enjoy the beach life stress free.
Our client nearly fell into the laminate trap but found their way to us just in time. We explained the risks and showed them how Canopy LVP delivers a smarter, more reliable solution for coastal living.
The Superior Solution: Glued-Down Canopy LVP for Oceanfront Homes
For this particular project, we chose a full spread glue down installation of Canopy LVP. Canopy LVP has the option to float or glue, when glued directly to the subfloor you get a stable, secure, and highly water resistant finish perfect for oceanfront homes.
Here’s what makes Canopy LVP stand out:
- Ultimate Water Resistance: Canopy LVP is made from advanced synthetic materials that resist water and moisture. No swelling, warping, or buckling, even when exposed to the heaviest coastal humidity and occasional splashes from sandy feet.
- Engineered Durability: Canopy LVP is designed for families, pets, and the unrelenting salt and sand of beach living. The tough top layer stands up to scratches and scuffs, so your floors stay beautiful year after year.
- Long-Lasting Stability: The adhesive method ensures that Canopy LVP stays put, feels sturdy underfoot, and keeps looking great for the long run no shifting, separating, or repairs needed.
