What Are The Different Styles Of Wood Plank Flooring?

There are many different styles of wood plank flooring, from solid hardwood to engineered hardwood with veneer and faux wood laminate to luxury vinyl plank.

Two of the most popular wood plank flooring products at Greatmats are vinyl plank and solid or engineered hardwood.

Luxury Vinyl Wood Plank Flooring

Luxury vinyl plank flooring comes in many different options, with rigid core vinyl flooring being one of the most sought after. Rigid core is available in SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) with a PVC core and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) with wood-like plasticizer core. EVP (Engineered Vinyl Plank), on the other hand, has a rigid stone-based core. They are all relatively easy to install.

Of the many different LVP and LVT products that Greatmats offers, the following 2 are among the most popular options:

1. Envee Rigid Core LVP Laminate Planks
2. Stock House Laminate SPC Flooring

Envee Rigid Core LVP Laminate Planks are among the best wood look vinyl products, as they are not only strong and dependable, but they are eco-friendly. In fact, they are made of 100 percent recycled material.

This product features a surface that is water and dirt tight. The vinyl plank flooring is mold and mildew resistant, and it offers anti-fatigue properties. This floor’s surface is slip resistant, and it features realistic, high-resolution imagery, so the floor looks like natural wood. It is very easy to clean by vacuuming or dust mopping it.



Stock House Laminate SPC Flooring is a unique flooring product that’s popular among those who like a warm, rich look - like that which would be found in an old cabaret or country pub. It’s a water resistant product with Rigid Core Technology available in eight warm colors.

These planks have a 30mm wear layer and wire brush texture with beveled edges that are painted.

Hardwood & Engineered Wood Plank Flooring

Engineered hardwood layers often include a hardwood veneer, wood, fiberboard or plywood, and oftentimes - additional layers. Engineered hardwood flooring can be refinished and resurfaced, and it’s often installed using nails, staples, glue, or other adhesives for fasteners. Solid hardwood is installed the same, and as the name implies, it is a layer of solid wood - generally with a stained finish.
