There are five basic edge treatments for rigid core luxury vinyl planks: Square Edge, Micro-Bevel, Painted Bevel, V-Groove, and Pressed Bevel. Most agree that among these, Pressed Bevel creates the most realistic appearance in terms of visual aesthetic and texture.
There are several advantages to Refine Pressed by Southwind Floors that dealers and their customers have recognized:
Enhanced Realism
The plank edge is compressed so the decorative layer and texture continues down into the bevel. This mimics real wood planks.
Depth
Pressed beveling adds a shadow contour between planks, giving the unmistakable appearance of a wood floor installation.
Hiding Flaws
Minor subfloor imperfections or edge issues become less of an issue because the pressed bevel edge hides them.
Premium Look
A pressed bevel edge simply looks more refined and elegant.
