Can You Use LVP Outside in Brevard? Here's What You Need to Know

ProSource | 7/10/2025

We recently had a customer come into our Brevard County location looking for Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) for their deck, an idea encouraged by their installer.

Here’s the deal: LVP is not made for outdoor applications, no matter how many times someone says they’ve installed it.

Florida Weather + LVP = Big Problems

In coastal areas like Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Cocoa Beach, the sun, salt air, and humidity will destroy LVP over time:

• UV rays cause rapid fading
• Moisture and humidity lead to expansion and warping
• Temperature changes crack the wear layer

Best Outdoor Flooring Options in Brevard

Instead of LVP, use materials rated for exterior use and coastal durability:

• Porcelain Pavers
  
• Composite Decking
  
• Stone or Shell Pavers
  
• Slip-resistant Exterior Tile
  

These are engineered to survive Brevard’s harsh weather and salty air, and they still look amazing.
