With summer right around the corner, any of us have trips planned to somewhere where sand is involved, but even our neighborhoods and backyards can offer plenty of opportunities for fun in the sun. And, of course, plenty of opportunities for messy floors!
We know that the neighborhood pool is the place to be on a hot summer day, but every resourceful kid has found the sweet relief in a sprinkler system or hose in their yard. And an afternoon rain shower can dampen outdoor activities until the skies clear and the mud puddles are a source of splashing!
As fun as summer can be, it can wreak havoc on our floors. But that’s where the right choice in flooring can step up for you.
Eastwood Homes is pleased to offer a new line of flooring called Engineered Vinyl Plank, often referred to as EVP. This new type of flooring offered by Shaw will provide homeowners protection against all life has to throw at it.
Engineered Vinyl Plank flooring is similar to Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, otherwise known as LVP, which has been a favorite among our homeowners for years now, and which also offers better protection against spills over the more traditional hardwood flooring.
One of the primary advantages of using EVP flooring is due to the advancements in the flooring industry. Quite simply, it’s difficult to tell that it’s not a hardwood floor just by looking at it. It’s offered in many of the designer styles that are popular today, like the grayed hues and farmhouse looks!
While many of us dream of having hardwood flooring, the reality is that hardwoods can be hard to keep in premium condition during day-to-day living. Instead, this new Engineered Vinyl Plank flooring looks more like hardwoods while being 100 percent resistant to spills and more durable against scratches and dents, too!
EVP flooring also offers added stability in varying climate conditions in the Southeast, meaning it doesn’t expand and contract as much as other flooring choices. It’s a heavier flooring choice, so it won't sound as hollow as other flooring options, and it won’t move when someone walks over it.
Shaw Flooring will be the manufacturer of our EVP flooring in many of our divisions. Shaw introduced its Engineered Vinyl Plank flooring in January of 2018, noting that it bridges the gap between “cleanability and beauty.”
Whether you need a home that will withstand growing youngsters, survive playful puppies, or whether the inevitable spilled milk (or all of the above), we know that Engineered Vinyl Plank was designed for you and the mud that we track in from life. Engineered Vinyl Plank flooring lets you live your life, and love your floors.
We think EVP flooring will be a step above the rest for many of our home-buying customers. But no matter what your preference is, we would love to introduce you to the many flooring options that we offer in our award-winning design centers.
Did you know that what matters to you, matters to us? It's true! We take pride in the homes that we build and ensure that every home is built with care. Since 1977, Eastwood Homes has remained dedicated to providing excellent customer service while building homes of quality craftsmanship and exceptional value.
Can you believe it’s already the middle of June? With Summer already here and time flying by, you don’t want to miss those warm summer days, and cool summer nights enjoying the fresh air. Truly, the best part about this time of year is enjoying it outdoors with friends and family! What better way to do that than in the comfort of your own home or community? Luckily, Eastwood offers a variety of outdoor living options to fit your needs!
