As promised, I am back today talking all about how my new LifeProof Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring from The Home Depot actually performs. I am answering all your questions about how this floor has held up for our family. Spoiler alert! It functions just as well as it looks. They say don’t judge a book by its cover. In this case, the beautiful design is every bit as durable too!

I will be honest, I wish this flooring was in my entire house now. It is just that good. Let me get into the details and you will see why we have fallen in love with this floor. First of all, the carpet in our bedrooms was awful. The pile and color left little to be desired. Anything would have been an upgrade from that carpet. However, we didn’t get just any flooring when we installed the LifeProof Beacon Oak Light Luxury Rigid Vinyl Planks. I mentioned in my last post that this flooring is completely waterproof, scratch-resistant, and stain-resistant. It is like the Swiss Army knife of flooring. We are prepared for any scenario these floors could face. In the short amount of time we have had the floors, they have seen their fair share of these scenarios. We have three kids that don’t slow down and these floors have kept up beautifully.

We really could have put this flooring everywhere too. This waterproof product can be installed above grade, on grade, or below grade. That is right friends, from bedrooms to bathrooms, this LifeProof Luxury Rigid Vinyl Flooring has it covered. I really considered putting it over the tile in our master bathroom too. The planks can actually be installed right over concrete, tile, vinyl, and wood. I still might even put it in the bathroom now. Who knows? The possibilities are endless.

We have some heavy furniture in our master bedroom and daughter’s room. Those bunk beds are not light. One feature that really sold us on this particular floor is the durability. The multi-layer enhanced construction with fiber-glass in the core produces a strong dent-resistant plank. Although the planks are easy to install, they also resist telegraphing from imperfections in the subfloor. LifeProof really engineered this floor to keep up with any busy household. I am happy to report that even our heavy furniture has not made a scratch or dent on this floor. Cue the hallelujah chorus. 🙂

My kids love to play in our sand playground. Normally sand is a nightmare to clean up. Especially when that sand gets wet. This made in the USA Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring is a lifesaver. From bathtime water to playtime in the sand. The floors clean up like brand new. The best part is that I don’t have to worry about the mess. If the water sits on the floor for a while before I find it, no worries! If the sand gets smashed across the floor, no worries! After all, the planks are scratch-resistant and waterproof. Super easy to clean and maintain.

I know we don’t have any pets but sometimes our favorite dog, Sadie, comes to visit. My kids love when Grandma and Grandpa’s dog gets to stay with us. I have a slightly different enthusiasm on the stay. I love Sadie to pieces but there always seems to be an incident. One stay she decided to use the bathroom all over the house. Another time she had a cyst explode everywhere. You get the reoccurring theme here. Sadie can be messy. Well, Sadie has a hard time messing up our new Beacon Oak Light Luxury Rigid Vinyl Planks. Her paws can’t scratch these floors and we are prepared to easily clean up any mess she throws at us or the floor.

Whether you have pets, kids, or just a busy life LifeProof  Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank flooring fromThe Home Depot can keep up. I am more than pleasantly surprised by the performance of this floor. Everything we wanted and more for our family. Not only is this flooring beautifully designed but it is durably constructed. They have held up to anything our family can throw their way. Genuinely a “LifeProof” flooring for our active family. The perfect flooring for our imperfect life!

I really thought this day would never come. The day when the last of the brown shag carpet is out of my house. To say I am thrilled would be an understatement. The bedrooms look so much more spacious and cleaner now that the new flooring is installed. As I was looking at options I came across LifeProof Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring from The Home Depot. There were so many designs and features that made this flooring a no brainer for our family.

Today I want to talk all about the design of this beautiful Beacon Oak Light Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring. Can you believe how much better these rooms look? The bright oak design has so many beautiful colors of light grey with hints of beige. It really is the perfect neutral color that pulls cool or warm tones based on the furnishings in your room. I love how the grey lightens everything up but those subtle accents of beige really bring in the warmth that is needed. When I saw the pictures online I knew it would be perfect. I was even more ecstatic when the sample arrived. Yes, you can order samples of all the color options and have them sent to your front door. The Home Depot also has a large variety of samples and displays of the flooring in the store. I wanted this flooring to blend with a variety of colors and styles. Each of our bedrooms is unique and has different decor. Beacon Oak Light was the perfect option that fits right in with each bedroom theme.

It almost looks like real wood. To be honest, it almost feels like the real deal too! This LifeProof Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring has an embossed texture. Not ugly fake-looking stuff either. The textures are just the right amount to give the flooring that natural look. The colors and texture are accented by authentic graining that does not disappoint. The low gloss finish really seals the whole look together for a seamless design.

I get the look of real wood with none of the upkeep or work that comes with the real stuff. This flooring is completely waterproof, scratch-resistant, and stain-resistant. You don’t get that with real wood! It’s really a win-win in my design book. The width and size of the locking planks make installation easy while also making the flooring look natural. There is no acclimation required with LifeProof Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring either. As soon as you are ready to install you can get right to work. Did I mention the pre-attached underlayment as well? I am telling you this flooring could not be easier and more beautiful to work with. I don’t know why we waited so long to tackle this project. If you are on the fence, head on over to The Home Depot and look at LifeProof Luxury Rigid Vinyl Plank Flooring. You can thank me later. 🙂

The flooring just got installed and I couldn’t wait to show you how it turned out. I am very impressed with the look and design. I wanted to share all the details about my first impressions and the aesthetics. I will be back with another blog post all about the performance too. What’s a pretty floor without knowing all the nitty-gritty about how it actually holds up? You won’t want to miss all the details about how our LifeProof flooring functions for our family and more styled shots of the bedrooms.
