What is luxury vinyl flooring made of?
Luxury vinyl flooring is a cutting-edge flooring solution that combines practicality with elegance. It’s built from multiple layers designed to handle wear and tear while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Here’s what goes into each plank or tile:
• Wear layer: The top layer provides protection against scratches, stains, and everyday damage. Thicker wear layers offer better durability, so you can pick one that suits your lifestyle.
• Printed design layer: Beneath the wear layer lies a high-resolution image that mimics natural wood, stone, or tile with stunning realism.
• Core layer: This middle layer provides stability and water resistance. Some luxury vinyl has a rigid core (like SPC or WPC) for added durability and waterproofing.
• Backing layer: The base layer adds extra comfort and sound absorption while helping the planks or tiles stay firmly in place.

Choosing your ideal luxury vinyl floors
Selecting the right luxury vinyl flooring doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We’re here to guide you through every decision, so you end up with a floor you’ll love for years.
• LVP vs. LVT flooring: Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) gives you the look of ceramic or stone, while luxury vinyl plank (LVP) recreates the warmth of hardwood. Think about your style preferences and where you plan to install the flooring to decide which fits your needs.
• Wear layer thickness: For high-traffic areas like kitchens or living rooms, opt for a thicker wear layer (20 mil or more). In low-traffic spaces, a thinner wear layer may suffice.
• Texture and finish: Do you prefer a smooth, polished finish or something with a little texture, like hand-scraped wood? Luxury vinyl flooring offers a wide range of finishes to match any aesthetic.
• Installation options: Most luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring feature easy click-and-lock installation, but glue-down options are available for added stability in commercial settings.
With so many options available, it’s easy to find a product that fits your style and lifestyle.

What makes LVP and LVT flooring stand out?
Luxury vinyl flooring comes with a host of benefits that make it one of the most versatile flooring choices available:
- Waterproof: Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements, luxury vinyl flooring is built to handle spills and moisture without damage.
- Durable: Its tough wear layer makes it scratch-resistant and long-lasting, even in homes with kids and pets.
- Comfortable: Luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring feel softer and warmer underfoot than traditional tile or stone.
- Easy to maintain: A quick sweep or mop is all it takes to keep luxury vinyl looking its best.
- Stylish: Thanks to advanced printing technology, luxury vinyl flooring offers a realistic appearance that rivals natural materials at a fraction of the cost.
