Four FAQs about luxury vinyl flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) offers the most value for the decorating dollar. It's affordable, highly stylish, and comes with numerous other benefits. Here's a run-down of what you can expect.

Affordable style

Luxury vinyl flooring provides true-to-life images of wood, stone, and plastic. The photographs are taken digitally, so they're clear and vibrant.

There is micro beveling and embossing to add depth and dimension. Textured looks, such as wire-brushed, hand-scraped, distressed, or embossed-in-register (EIR), are also available.

As a design option, the material can be cut into long planks to mimic hardwood floorboards called vinyl plank flooring. Alternatively, it is cut into square, tile-sized pieces used with or without grout.

The floors are so realistic that even the flooring experts sometimes have difficulty telling the difference. You'll know when you pay, however!

Waterproof durability

This is thicker, has multiple layers, and has a rigid core. The top layer is a strong, clear, melamine coating (wear layer) that protects the floor from scratches, scuffs, and dents.

The wear layer also keeps spills from absorbing. So, whether you choose vinyl plank or luxury vinyl tile, you can be assured of a 100% waterproof material whether spilled on or submerged.

Low maintenance

All luxury vinyl flooring needs is regular sweeping and periodic mopping with a manufacturer-approved product. Please avoid waxy, shine-promoting products that damage the finish and dull the floor.

Uncomplicated Installation

Installers love the fast and easy floating floor. Pieces click, mat, and hover over the subfloor without adhesive with this technique.
