Why homeowners love luxury vinyl flooring

 
Gone are the days when vinyl flooring evoked images of outdated kitchens or retro basements. Today's luxury vinyl flooring redefines elegance and durability, seamlessly blending the look of natural materials with the practicality of modern engineering. Whether you crave the rustic charm of hardwood or the sleek allure of stone, luxury vinyl offers an astonishing range of designs to complement your unique style.
 

Dive into the construction of luxury vinyl floors

 

Luxury vinyl flooring isn't your grandmother's vinyl. It's crafted with a multi-layer composition designed for exceptional performance and longevity. Here's what you'll find beneath the surface of a luxury vinyl plank or luxury vinyl tile:


  • Wear layer: This tough transparent layer protects against scratches, scuffs, stains, and fading. The thicker the wear layer, the more durable the flooring.
  • Print layer: This is where the magic happens! High-resolution imaging creates realistic wood grains, stone textures, or custom designs.
  • Vinyl core: The core layer provides stability, moisture resistance, and comfort underfoot.
  • Backing layer: The backing layer enhances the flooring's structural integrity and can include sound-dampening properties.

LVP vs. LVT flooring: which is right for you?

 

Luxury vinyl comes in two primary formats:


  • Luxury vinyl plank (LVP): Mimics the look and feel of hardwood planks, offering a wide range of wood species, colors, and finishes. LVP flooring is a fantastic choice for areas that see a lot of foot traffic.
  • Luxury vinyl tile (LVT): Replicates the appearance of stone or ceramic tiles, providing a sophisticated touch to kitchens, bathrooms, or entryways. The versatility of LVT flooring extends to an array of sizes, shapes, and grout options for a truly customized look.

Not sure which to choose? Our luxury vinyl flooring experts can help you select the perfect style and format for your space and lifestyle.
