Luxury vinyl flooring designed for everyday living

Choosing between LVT and LVP flooring

Luxury vinyl is available as luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

• LVP flooring uses a plank format to recreate hardwood. Designs can capture the grain, knots, colors, and textures associated with oak, hickory, maple, and other wood species. This gives you a hardwood-inspired appearance with easier maintenance.
• LVT flooring uses a tile format and typically mimics ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone. Options inspired by marble, slate, travertine, and other materials provide an upscale tile look with practical luxury vinyl performance.

Our design consultants can help you compare LVP and LVT flooring based on your room and style.

WPC and SPC luxury vinyl flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring also comes with different core constructions, including WPC and SPC.

• WPC flooring, or wood plastic composite, has a resilient core that can provide added comfort and sound absorption. It works well in living rooms, bedrooms, and other gathering spaces.
• SPC flooring, or stone plastic composite, features a dense, rigid core known for durability and dimensional stability. It can be an excellent option for busy households and high-traffic rooms.

The best choice depends on your space, lifestyle, performance needs, and budget.

Luxury vinyl flooring shades

Color plays a major role in your floor's overall look. Light oak and natural wood shades can create a bright, relaxed atmosphere, while medium browns bring traditional warmth. Dark brown and charcoal shades offer deeper contrast.

Other popular options include gray, greige, beige, whitewashed, and weathered wood visuals. LVT flooring also offers stone-inspired shades ranging from light marble looks to dark slate.

Our showroom staff, design consultants, and mobile showroom can help you compare samples with your existing décor before choosing.

Luxury vinyl flooring wear layer thickness

The wear layer is the clear protective surface above the floor's printed design. It helps defend against scratches, scuffs, stains, and daily wear.

Wear layer thickness is typically measured in mils. Generally, thicker wear layers provide additional protection in demanding environments. A bedroom may not need the same wear layer as a busy family room, entryway, or commercial space.

Traffic levels, pets, product construction, warranties, and manufacturer recommendations should all be considered when selecting a wear layer.

Luxury vinyl flooring installation methods

Luxury vinyl can be installed using several methods.

• Click-lock or floating installation connects the flooring together without permanently attaching each plank or tile to the subfloor.
• Glue-down installation adheres flooring directly to a prepared subfloor and is often useful in high-traffic spaces.
• Loose-lay installation is available with some products and uses specialized backing to help the flooring remain securely positioned.

Proper subfloor preparation is important with every method. Our certified and experienced installers focus on accurate installation, clean transitions, and quality workmanship while providing efficient project turnaround times.

How to clean and maintain luxury vinyl flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring is relatively simple to maintain. Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit that could scratch the surface. Clean spills promptly and occasionally damp mop using a manufacturer-approved luxury vinyl cleaner.

Avoid abrasive scrubbers, waxes, harsh chemicals, and excessive water unless specifically approved for your flooring. Furniture pads can reduce scratches, while entry mats help keep dirt from being tracked across the floor.

Always follow the manufacturer's care guidelines to protect your flooring and warranty.
