Is there actually a difference between cheap flooring and expensive flooring? Short answer: yes — but maybe not where you'd expect. Here's what the price gap usually comes down to: 🔹 Wear layer thickness Luxury vinyl plank is measured in mils. Budget options often have a 6–8 mil wear layer. Better quality starts at 12 mil and up. That gap shows up fast in high-traffic areas. 🔹 How it feels underfoot Cheaper flooring can feel hollow, thin, or loud when you walk on it. A thicker core and attached underlayment make a real difference day to day. 🔹 How it handles the edges and ends Low-cost options often cut corners on click-lock systems and finish edges. That's where early wear, lifting, and gaps tend to start. 🔹 What the warranty actually covers A 10-year residential warranty and a 25-year warranty are not the same product — even if they look identical in a photo. You don't always need the most expensive option. But knowing what you're actually paying for helps you spend in the right places. At RM Flooring, we walk you through what matters for your specific space — so you're not guessing at the showroom. What questions do you have about finding the right fit for your budget? We're happy to help.

A wide-angle interior scene of a modern residential living room featuring luxury vinyl plank flooring as the hero subject, shot from a low angle close to the floor to emphasise plank depth and surface texture. Two distinct flooring samples are displayed side by side on the floor, each accompanied by clean, minimal on-screen specification labels in a navy and white typographic style — showing details such as wear layer thickness, core depth, dimensions, and finish type. The left plank features a rich warm oak grain with a high-gloss polished finish and bold specs overlay; the right plank shows a complementary grey-toned wood grain with a matte finish and its own specification callouts. Soft natural light streams in from a large window, casting warm golden tones across the floor and highlighting texture differences between the two samples. The room features neutral white walls, a light grey sofa partially visible in the background, and green indoor plants adding warmth. A subtle navy gradient banner runs along the bottom edge framing the specification text with gold accent lines. Photorealistic, high-production-quality interior photography with a warm, premium home-renovation aesthetic, sharp plank detail, and a polished social media graphic finish.
