Why luxury vinyl flooring is practical

Why luxury vinyl flooring is practical


Whether you choose luxury vinyl tile or plank, you can be assured of a product that checks all the boxes.

When it comes to value, it offers the most for the decorating dollar. That's a big reason it's considered a trend.

Affordable style


Dismiss any thoughts you may have about vinyl of decades past. Luxury vinyl (LVF) offers images of wood, stone, and tile, taken with high-definition photography,

The budget-friendly floors come with depth, dimension, textures, and finishes. The vinyl is cut into square, tile-sized pieces, called LVT flooring. Vinyl plank refers to the material being cut to mimic hardwood floorboards.

Durability for kids, pets, and heavy foot traffic


This material is layered five times thicker than the original product. A top, transparent, melamine wear layer protects the floor from scratches, scuffs, and dents.

LVF is entirely waterproof. It can be submerged or spilled on without concerns of staining, peeling, rippling, or curling edges.

At the very top is a clear urethane coating. It adds extra strength and shine to your luxury vinyl plank or tile.

Luxury doesn’t equal high maintenance


All this flooring needs is regular sweeping and periodic mopping. Sweep under cabinets and in corners where dirt hides.

The mop should be damp, not wet. Use a manufacturer-approved cleaner and avoid waxy-shine-promoting cleaners.

Uncomplicated installation


LVT and LVP can be installed via the glue-down or floating floor technique. Any subfloor is acceptable, as long as it's clean, dry, and level.
