Luxury vinyl flooring: a versatile choice for any room

What's the difference between LVT and LVP flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring comes primarily as luxury vinyl tile (LVT) or luxury vinyl plank (LVP).

• LVP flooring resembles hardwood planks, recreating natural grain, color, and texture. Styles range from rustic wide planks to clean, contemporary designs.
• LVT flooring usually comes in tile formats and recreates materials such as marble, slate, limestone, concrete, ceramic, and porcelain.

Both provide luxury vinyl's practical performance. Your choice depends largely on whether you prefer a wood, stone, or tile look.

WPC vs. SPC luxury vinyl flooring

Rigid-core luxury vinyl flooring commonly features WPC or SPC construction.

• WPC, or wood plastic composite, typically has a thicker core that can feel softer and warmer underfoot while helping absorb sound.
• SPC, or stone plastic composite, has a dense, rigid core that provides dimensional stability and dent resistance. It is well-suited to active households and many commercial spaces.

Luxury vinyl flooring wear layer thickness

The wear layer is the clear surface protecting the printed design from scratches, scuffs, stains, and everyday wear. Wear layers are measured in mils, and thicker options generally provide

greater protection.

That doesn't mean you always need the thickest available. Bedrooms and other low-traffic areas have different needs than kitchens, hallways, offices, or retail environments. Consider traffic, manufacturer recommendations, and warranty coverage when choosing your wear layer.

Luxury vinyl flooring colors and styles

Luxury vinyl flooring offers plenty of design freedom. Wood-look LVP flooring ranges from pale natural oak and warm honey to brown, gray, and deep espresso. Choose smooth contemporary visuals, traditional wood grains, or rustic and reclaimed looks.

LVT flooring can recreate marble, slate, limestone, concrete, and other tile or stone styles.

Light colors can make rooms appear brighter and more open. Medium tones offer versatility, while dark flooring creates bold contrast. Visit our showroom to compare different samples in person.

Luxury vinyl flooring installation methods

Installation depends on the flooring product and space.

• Click-lock luxury vinyl connects at the edges to create a floating floor.
• Glue-down flooring adheres directly to a prepared subfloor and works well in many high-traffic spaces.
• Loose-lay flooring uses its backing, weight, and friction to stay in position when installed in suitable areas.

Regardless of the method, the subfloor should be clean, dry, flat, and properly prepared.

How to maintain luxury vinyl flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring is simple to maintain. Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit. Wipe up spills promptly and use a manufacturer-approved cleaner when needed.

Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh chemicals, and excessive water. Furniture pads can help prevent scratches, while entry mats reduce tracked-in dirt. Follow your flooring manufacturer's specific care recommendations for the best results.
