The smart choice is luxury vinyl flooring

What's the difference between LVT and LVP flooring?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is designed to replicate hardwood flooring. Long planks feature authentic wood grain patterns and natural color variation, making them an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-concept spaces.

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) recreates the appearance of ceramic, porcelain, marble, slate, and other stone materials. Available in square and rectangular formats, LVT flooring gives you the upscale look of tile with a warmer, more comfortable feel underfoot.

Both options provide outstanding durability. The best choice simply depends on the style you want to achieve.

Why is the luxury vinyl wear layer important?

The wear layer is the clear protective coating on top of luxury vinyl flooring. It helps defend your floors against scratches, scuffs, stains, and everyday traffic.

Thinner wear layers work well in lower-traffic spaces, while thicker wear layers offer greater protection for busy households with children, pets, or frequent guests.

Selecting the right wear layer helps maximize your floor's longevity, and our team can recommend the ideal option based on how you use your space.

Which luxury vinyl color is right for your home?

Luxury vinyl flooring is available in a wide range of colors and realistic finishes, making it easy to complement nearly any design style.

Light shades create an open, airy feel and can make smaller rooms appear larger. Medium wood tones remain timeless and versatile, while darker colors add richness and contrast.

Popular wood-look options include white oak, natural oak, maple, walnut, and weathered finishes. If you prefer the appearance of stone or tile, you'll also find beautiful shades of white, beige, gray, charcoal, and black.

Whether your style is rustic, contemporary, traditional, or modern farmhouse, there's a luxury vinyl floor to match.

What luxury vinyl flooring installation methods are available?

Luxury vinyl flooring can be installed using several methods depending on the product and your subfloor.

• Click-lock flooring features planks or tiles that snap together to create a floating floor. This popular installation method is efficient and works well in many residential spaces.
• Glue-down flooring is adhered directly to the subfloor for exceptional stability and durability. It's often recommended for commercial settings or areas with heavy foot traffic.
• Loose-lay flooring uses a specialized backing that helps keep the flooring securely in place with minimal adhesive, making installation simple in many situations.

We'll recommend the installation method that best fits your project and ensures long-lasting performance.

Is luxury vinyl flooring easy to maintain?

Keeping luxury vinyl flooring looking beautiful is simple.

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris that can cause scratches. Damp mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner when needed, and wipe up spills promptly. Furniture pads beneath chairs and tables help prevent unnecessary wear, while entry mats reduce the amount of dirt tracked indoors.

Unlike hardwood, luxury vinyl plank flooring never needs sanding, refinishing, sealing, or waxing, making it one of the easiest flooring options to maintain.
