What is Luxury Vinyl Flooring?

Because more of us are spending time at home, there has been an increase in home design and repair projects. Many of our contractors are getting requests for luxury vinyl as an alternative to traditional hardwood or tile flooring. This product’s price, look, and durability make it highly popular for home improvement projects. It comes in a wide range of patterns and textures that mimic the look of hardwood, natural stone, and ceramic tile. It is also available in both plank and tile formats. (LVP is luxury vinyl plank, and LVT is luxury vinyl tile.)

What customers genuinely like is the durability factor related to this vinyl flooring choice. This flooring product is engineered to be waterproof; therefore, with the exception of seam areas, it holds up to moisture and water. This makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and rooms in the home that may be vulnerable to water exposure. You can keep your flooring looking great with very little upkeep required.
