Types of Luxury Vinyl Flooring

With luxury vinyl flooring, you can have the authentic look and feel of natural wood and stone with the added benefit of its resilient, synthetic design. Luxury vinyl comes in two main forms today: planks and tiles. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP flooring) is a great alternative to natural hardwood and laminate. Luxury vinyl tiles (LVT flooring) mirrors porcelain, ceramic, and stone. They are both more affordable, easier to care for, and simpler to install and replace than natural floors. Since luxury vinyl is such a rapidly growing flooring category, more types are becoming available like WPC and rigid core flooring.

What is Luxury Vinyl Tile?

Luxury vinyl tile, or LVT flooring, is designed to stand up to the toughest traffic, yet also be stylish enough to impress guests at your home. Vinyl tiles emulate porcelain, ceramic, and stone, and they come in individual synthetic squares that are easy to care for, install, and replace. Each vinyl tile has a high-definition visual layer that mirrors the colors, textures, and patterns of different tile styles. LVT flooring is available in fully waterproof varieties, and you can freely install them in kitchens and bathrooms without worry. Vinyl tile flooring is available with several different installation options that are versatile and simple. These floors often have a cushioned underlayment that helps dull sounds and improves your home’s insulation. This means your floor will be incredibly quiet and more comfortable to walk on. Vinyl tiles are also more resistant to cracking and chipping than their natural counterparts.

What are Luxury Vinyl Planks?

If you long for the look of hardwood but need something sturdier that can manage moisture, luxury vinyl plank poses a perfect alternative. With high-end style and robust performance, these synthetic planks are perfect for residential and commercial use. Although luxury vinyl planks and genuine hardwood planks look almost identical, we think there are some compelling reasons to opt for the former. Luxury vinyl plank is significantly more affordable than genuine hardwood and can handle heavier furnishings and traffic. Its dense construction prevents dents from furniture or scratches from pet paws. Sanding or polishing isn’t necessary when you choose luxury vinyl plank. Certain products are 100% waterproof. Your care plan is simple: luxury vinyl plank only needs an occasional mopping or sweep-up to remove dust and debris.

Is Luxury Vinyl Waterproof?

One of the key advantages of luxury vinyl flooring is that it repels moisture. While all vinyl floors offer some level of moisture resistance, some are 100% waterproof. Waterproof vinyl floors are stain-resistant and have a water-tight surface that stops leaks from reaching your subfloor. Those with children or pets can rejoice with our kid-friendly and pet-friendly options. While all luxury vinyl planks and tiles are water-resistant to some degree, not all are waterproof. Waterproof vinyl flooring offers 100% protection, even from repeated exposure to spills. In contrast, water-resistant floors can eventually sustain damage. Waterproof vinyl planks and tiles have leak-tight seams that block out moisture so it can’t reach the subfloor, along with a stain-resistant surface that’s easy to wipe clean. Many waterproof collections also feature a rigid core that stabilizes the floor against swelling and warping in moisture-prone settings.

Where Can Luxury Vinyl Be Installed?

As beautiful and durable as natural hardwood can be, it is limited in where it can be installed. Luxury vinyl eliminates that issue with durable and resilient planks that resist moisture and can handle day-to-day activity. Luxury vinyl flooring is truly a floor built for modern living, and with its ability to endure, along with its nature-inspired textures and visuals, it’s no wonder that luxury vinyl plank and tile continue to explode in popularity. A smart and stylish solution for both residential and commercial settings, luxury vinyl is elegant, affordable, and low maintenance. The best rooms to install luxury vinyl flooring in include basements, kitchens, bathrooms, and even mudrooms. Its water, scratch, and scuff resistance make this floor ultra-durable. You’ll also find high-end-looking luxury vinyl floors that are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, dens, and other main living areas. Plus, we have plenty of commercial-grade vinyl flooring choices, which are ideal for a whole range of businesses and high-traffic settings.

Bathroom & Kitchen Luxury Vinyl

Waterproof luxury vinyl flooring is ideal for kitchens and bathrooms because it stops moisture at the surface. Waterproof floors even help to prevent moisture from seeping through to your subfloor. When your flooring is exposed to moisture daily, it should be able to protect itself. Compared to traditional tile, luxury vinyl tiles are much warmer underfoot. You can even have wood-look luxury vinyl planks. The high-definition printed image layer is so detailed that it is hard to tell the difference between natural hardwood and wood-look luxury vinyl. The planks and tiles can even be embossed to feel like natural stone or tile.
