LUXURY VINYL OVERVIEW
Resilient Flooring or sometimes called Rigid-Core, is the fastest growing flooring type. Both Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) offer extreme durability, are waterproof and, for the most part, a very affordable option to give your home a beautiful new look. Resilient Flooring is manufactured with composite materials, LVT with a PVC core and SPC with a Limestone core.
Resilient Flooring’s predecessor Laminates was constructed with particle board or medium density fiberboard backing, which made it easily damaged by water and dings and chips.
Resilient Flooring products are waterproof and are perfect for bathroom, kitchens, sunrooms, and basements because they are waterproof and impact resistant, so no more cracked tiles or dents when you drop something on the floor. They are hypo allergenic, easy to clean, maintain and fire resistant.
LUXURY VINYL FLOORING – LVP & LVT
Luxury vinyl flooring is a versatile, cost-effective, and durable flooring option available in both planks and tiles. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:
There are two main categories of Luxury Vinyl Flooring: Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). Luxury Vinyl is available in a wide range of styles, including designs that mimic wood (LVP), or stone/tile (LVT), concrete, and solid colors, offering versatility to match any décor.
Luxury vinyl is crafted with a thicker wear layer and superior-quality vinyl compared to standard vinyl, making it more resilient. It is also fully waterproof, so it can handle spills and moisture with ease.
LVP or LVT is known for its easy installation. Rigid core planks feature a click-lock system for a simple, floating installation, while glue-down planks require adhesive to secure them to the subfloor.
Maintaining Luxury Vinyl Flooring is a breeze—just regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a mild detergent will keep it looking fresh and clean. With proper care, LVF can last up to 25 years, providing long-lasting value and performance.
