Luxury Vinyl Plank LVP & Luxury Vinyl Tile LVT

Luxury Vinyl Plank, also referred to as LVP, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and EVP (engineered vinyl plank) or vinyl composite core flooring (VCC) is a highly durable, waterproof, kid proof and even pet proof flooring product that is rapidly gaining popularity for both homeowners and commercial flooring applications. It can provide some of the highest noise reduction ratings in flooring and offer a stylish alternative to natural wood flooring.

LVP is developed to nearly perfectly replicate the look, color, and feel of high-end wood flooring, stone and ceramic tile with improved performance and considerably lower costs. The manufacturing process used to produce this special floor creates all of the surface textures that were previously only available in solid hardwood or engineered wood floors. Surface designs such as distressed wood, stone textures, handscraped, and even wood grain patterns become so realistic that it can only be referred to as a luxury flooring product. It can give you the look and actual feel of even bamboo floors with durability and cost savings not previously available in flooring.

Luxury vinyl should never be confused with either traditional vinyl flooring or laminate flooring. It is typically constructed using polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which results in a firm yet elastic construction that is perfectly suited to flooring. This material is extremely “resilient” because it can compress and expand with contact and temperature variations, rather than crack.

The biggest difference from laminate floors is its ability to withstand moisture. We carry LVP flooring that can be considered 100% waterproof. Laminate flooring typically can’t make that claim. So LVT flooring is not only a better-appearing flooring material, it can also hold up under extreme conditions, making it great for high-traffic areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and households with pets.

Though laminate floors can have a lower front-end cost, luxury vinyl can last from 15 to 30+ years, depending on the brand and product being installed. If you plan to be in your home or business for a longer period or are more concerned with resale value, you should consider LVP as an optimal flooring material for both situations.

Luxury vinyl plank is as stylish and plentiful as it is affordable and realistic.

Installation Options

Due to the composite construction, it handles moisture and high-traffic applications extremely well. Easy to install, it not only looks like real wood or stone flooring, it can be used in virtually all flooring environments. From kitchens to bathrooms and even basements or commercial flooring applications, it is becoming a popular choice for homeowners and contractors alike.

Construction

LVP wood flooring is manufactured by combining multiple floor components together around a high-density core layer and a top layer made of colored and textured vinyl that appears like real wood, stone, or even marble. It is produced in planks that come in varying widths and lengths, similar to traditional wood flooring. The result of today’s advancements they have a deceptively similar look and feel to natural wood flooring.
