What's the difference between LVT and LVP flooring?

LVP flooring is designed to replicate hardwood. Its long planks feature realistic wood grain, textures, and colors that capture the look of species like oak, maple, and hickory. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is ideal if you want the warmth of hardwood with greater moisture resistance and less maintenance.

LVT flooring recreates the appearance of ceramic, porcelain, marble, slate, concrete, and other natural stone surfaces. Luxury vinyl tile offers a clean, sophisticated look that's perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and laundry rooms.

The right choice comes down to your design preferences. LVP flooring delivers the look of wood, while LVT flooring offers the elegance of tile and stone.

Why is the luxury vinyl wear layer important?

The wear layer is the transparent protective coating on the surface of luxury vinyl flooring. It helps protect the floor from scratches, scuffs, stains, and everyday wear.

Homes with children, pets, or heavy foot traffic typically benefit from a thicker wear layer, while lower-traffic spaces may not require as much protection. Choosing the right wear layer helps your floor maintain its appearance for years.

How thick should luxury vinyl flooring be?

Floor thickness contributes to both comfort and durability. Thicker products often provide a sturdier feel underfoot, better sound absorption, and improved stability. They can also help minimize the appearance of minor subfloor imperfections.

Our team can recommend the right thickness based on your room, subfloor condition, and performance needs.

Which luxury vinyl color should you choose?

Luxury vinyl flooring comes in a wide variety of colors and styles to complement nearly any home.

Light shades create an open, spacious feel, while medium tones offer timeless versatility. Darker floors add warmth and dramatic contrast. Whether you prefer rustic wood, contemporary oak, marble, or concrete-inspired designs, there's a style to match your vision.

When selecting a color, consider your cabinetry, furniture, lighting, and overall design to create a cohesive look that will stand the test of time.

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 connect together without being fastened to the subfloor, making them a popular choice for many homes.
• Glue-down flooring is adhered directly to the subfloor for exceptional stability in larger or high-traffic spaces.
• Loose-lay flooring uses its weight and friction to stay securely in place while allowing for easier replacement if needed.

We'll recommend the installation method that best suits your space and flooring selection.

How do you clean and maintain luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl is one of the easiest flooring materials to maintain. To keep it looking its best:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly
• Damp mop with a manufacturer-approved cleaner
• Wipe up spills promptly
• Use mats at exterior doors
• Place felt pads under furniture
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals

With routine care, LVP and LVT flooring can provide years of lasting beauty.
