imho i think lvp looks better with a micro bevel. without a bevel, lvp looks more fake. i would recommend buying a box of each and laying out a section to see for yourself in order to make a decision

Paul we purchased 4 full planks and layer them out on the floor. We had real wood floors in our last 2 house and would disagree that it makes it more real. Maybe a microbevel without a consistent color paint.

Add some more pictures, we got a darker plank from flooret and the base model for comparison.

I am also shopping for these products. I always thought the bevel made it look more “fake” or like a tile but in talking to a salesperson today, heard the bevel is what engineered floors have so it was made to look like that. No bevel is what (solid) hardwood floors have (and what I was envisioning), but they don’t come in wide planks apparently. They make both kinds since some people like the bevel.

Yes engineered floors come with a bevel but are not a different color of the floor. Biggest issue I have with the kingswood color is the bevels are a lighter color which makes it look like a grout line. The benwick sample has a darker bevel so it looks more like a shadow. Korlok select has 9" wide with no bevels but only 4.6 feet long

After having real wood floors for years (which had no bevel), we put Coretech LPV in our new home. After living with them now for a little over a year, I would recommend no bevel, or a micro-bevel. Maybe it is just the brand we used, but the floors cause major holes in our socks.

Yes I have seen that the coating can cause a hole in fabrics due to abrasion. I have not done a test for this but I know others have.

Hi, Paul. I have the exact question and concern that you had when looking for flooring. We've looked at Flooret and Cali. We'd like a wide plank with a micro bevel. Were you able to find something that worked? Thanks!

I went with Pergo DuraCraft Elk Lodge Oak which has a small bevel that is pressed so it look more natural
