Luxury vinyl flooring that offers beauty without compromise

What is the difference between LVT and LVP flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring is available in two primary formats: LVT and LVP.

1. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) replicates ceramic tile, porcelain, or natural stone. LVT flooring is an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and commercial spaces where the look of tile is desired without grout maintenance.
2. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) captures the warmth and texture of hardwood flooring. With realistic wood grain patterns and a wide range of colors, LVP flooring is one of the most popular choices for living areas, bedrooms, and open-concept homes.

Both offer exceptional durability, so your decision comes down to the appearance you want.

Should you choose WPC or SPC luxury vinyl flooring?

The flooring core affects both comfort and performance.

1. WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) features a softer core that feels comfortable underfoot and helps reduce noise, making it ideal for bedrooms and living spaces.
2. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) has a denser, more rigid core that offers outstanding stability and impact resistance. It's well-suited for high-traffic areas and moisture-prone rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and entryways.

Our design consultants can explain the advantages of each option and recommend the best fit for your remodeling project.

What luxury vinyl flooring colors and styles are available?

Luxury vinyl flooring is available in a wide variety of colors and designs.

Wood-look styles remain the most popular, with realistic oak, maple, walnut, and hickory visuals available in light, medium, and dark tones. Coastal-inspired colors create bright, airy spaces, while richer shades bring warmth and character.

If you prefer the look of natural stone, luxury vinyl is also available in marble, slate, travertine, and concrete-inspired designs. Whether your style is contemporary, coastal, farmhouse, or traditional, there's a luxury vinyl floor to match your home.

What luxury vinyl flooring installation methods are available?

Luxury vinyl flooring can be installed using several methods: click-lock, glue-down, and loose-lay.

Click-lock floating floors are popular because they install efficiently while creating a secure connection between planks or tiles. Glue-down flooring provides added stability for commercial applications and high-traffic spaces, while loose-lay products are designed to stay in place through their weight and friction.

Our installation professionals properly prepare the subfloor and recommend the installation method that will provide the best long-term performance.

What are the benefits of luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring has become a favorite among homeowners because it balances beauty, durability, and value.

Many products resist moisture, scratches, stains, and everyday wear, making them ideal for active families, pet owners, and busy households. Luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring are also quieter and more comfortable underfoot than many hard-surface flooring options while delivering remarkably realistic wood and stone visuals.

Luxury vinyl's versatility makes it suitable for nearly every room, and it offers the appearance of premium materials at a more budget-friendly price.

How do you clean and maintain luxury vinyl flooring?

LVP and LVT flooring are easy to maintain with a simple routine.

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit. Damp mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner as needed, and wipe up spills promptly to prevent residue from building up. Furniture pads and entry mats help reduce scratches and everyday wear.

Avoid abrasive scrubbers, wax-based products, and harsh chemicals. Steam mops should only be used if approved by the flooring manufacturer. With proper care, luxury vinyl flooring can maintain its appearance for years.
