Luxury vinyl flooring: designed for comfort and performance

 
Luxury vinyl flooring is a game-changer. It gives you the rich, stylish look of hardwood or stone without the sky-high price tag. It’s waterproof, durable, and built to handle life’s messes. Whether you need something tough for high-traffic areas or want a cozy, stylish floor for your bedroom, luxury vinyl delivers. Find out why luxury vinyl may be the perfect flooring choice for your remodel.
 

Choosing your ideal luxury vinyl flooring

 
Finding the right luxury vinyl flooring comes down to a few key factors: format, wear layer, thickness, and installation method. Let’s dive in.

LVP vs. LVT flooring: what’s the difference?
Luxury vinyl comes in two main types: luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP). If you love the look of natural stone or ceramic tile, go for LVT flooring. It mimics real tile with stunning detail. Do you prefer the warmth of hardwood? LVP flooring gives you realistic wood textures and patterns without the maintenance requirements of hardwood. Both luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring are waterproof and scratch-resistant, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Wear layer: your floor’s first line of defense
The wear layer is what protects your floor from scratches, stains, and wear. It’s measured in mils (1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch). Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • 6-12 mil: Good for low-traffic areas like bedrooms.
  • 12-20 mil: Ideal for active households with kids and pets.
  • 20+ mil: The toughest option, great for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces.

If you want floors that last, go for a thicker wear layer.

Thickness: why it matters
Luxury vinyl flooring comes in different thicknesses, typically between 2mm and 8mm. Thicker floors feel more comfortable underfoot and can help reduce noise. If you’re installing over an uneven subfloor, a thicker option (5mm+) will hide imperfections better.

Installation methods: glue-down, click-lock, or loose lay?
Luxury vinyl offers several installation methods:

  • Glue-down: Best for commercial spaces or areas with heavy furniture. It stays put, but installation takes more effort.
  • Click-lock: The most popular option for DIYers. It snaps together like a puzzle and floats over the subfloor.
  • Loose lay: Uses weight and friction to stay in place—no glue, no clicks. Perfect for quick installs and temporary flooring needs.

Luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring benefits

 
Why is luxury vinyl flooring taking over homes and businesses? Here are the biggest reasons:

  1. 100% waterproof: Spills? No problem. Luxury vinyl flooring is fully waterproof, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Unlike hardwood, it won’t warp or swell when exposed to moisture.
  2. Durable and scratch-resistant: Life happens. Kids, pets, high heels, and furniture can be rough on floors. Luxury vinyl’s tough wear layer protects against scuffs, scratches, and dents.
  3. Easy to maintain: No special cleaners are needed. Just sweep and mop with a damp cloth or mild cleaner. Unlike carpet, it won’t trap allergens or odors, making it a great option for allergy sufferers.
  4. Realistic designs: Thanks to advanced printing technology, LVP and LVT flooring look just like real wood or stone. You get stunning visuals without the upkeep of natural materials.
  5. Soft and comfortable underfoot: Unlike cold tile or hard hardwood, luxury vinyl has a softer feel and some flex. It’s warmer, quieter, and easier on your joints.
  6. Budget-friendly: You get the high-end look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the cost. Plus, with easy installation, you can save even more money.
