Hardwood vs. Vinyl: What’s Best for Asheville Homes and Projects?

When homeowners and builders plan new flooring in Asheville, one debate always comes up: hardwood or vinyl plank? Both have clear benefits—but your project goals determine which is best.

Hardwood Flooring

Solid and engineered hardwood floors bring warmth, luxury, and resale value. They can be refinished multiple times, making them a long-term investment. However, they’re more sensitive to moisture and require acclimation before installation.

Vinyl Plank Flooring

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) provides waterproof resilience, modern design, and comfort underfoot. It’s ideal for Asheville’s humid months and perfect for high-traffic or rental properties. Builders love it for speed, affordability, and homeowner satisfaction.

Which Should You Choose?

For mountain homes, engineered hardwood combines durability with classic beauty, while LVP is unbeatable for kitchens, basements, or pet-friendly spaces.
