Find stylish, durable luxury vinyl flooring for every room

What's the difference between LVP and LVT flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring comes in two primary styles: luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

1. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP): LVP flooring is designed to replicate the look of hardwood. Its long planks feature realistic grain patterns, textures, and color variation that capture the appearance of natural wood while offering superior moisture resistance and easier maintenance.
2. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT): LVT flooring recreates the appearance of ceramic, porcelain, slate, marble, and other natural stone materials. Luxury vinyl tile provides the sophisticated look of tile with a warmer, more comfortable surface that's easier to maintain.

Both luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring are durable, versatile, and available in countless styles to complement any room.

WPC vs. SPC: which luxury vinyl core is right for you?

Luxury vinyl flooring is available with different core constructions, with WPC and SPC being the most common.

1. WPC flooring: Wood plastic composite (WPC) flooring features a thicker, cushioned core that adds comfort underfoot while helping reduce sound. It's a great option for living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas where comfort matters.
2. SPC flooring: Stone plastic composite (SPC) flooring has a rigid, dense core that delivers exceptional stability and dent resistance. It's ideal for busy households and high-traffic spaces where durability is a priority.

Our knowledgeable team can explain the differences and help you select the best option for your home.

How do you choose the right luxury vinyl flooring color?

The right color helps define the style of your space. Fortunately, luxury vinyl flooring is available in a wide range of shades and finishes.

Light colors brighten rooms and create a more open feel. Medium tones offer timeless versatility that complements many decorating styles. Dark colors add warmth, depth, and dramatic contrast.

You'll also find realistic wood and stone visuals with wire-brushed textures, distressed details, matte finishes, and natural color variation. We'll help you compare samples with your cabinets, countertops, paint, and lighting so you can choose a floor you'll love for years.

What luxury vinyl flooring installation methods are available?

Luxury vinyl flooring can be installed using several methods, depending on the product and your project.

1. Click-lock installation creates a floating floor using interlocking planks or tiles. It's one of the most popular installation methods because it's efficient and reliable.
2. Glue-down installation bonds the flooring directly to the subfloor, making it a great choice for commercial spaces and other high-traffic environments.
3. Loose-lay installation uses the flooring's weight and friction to keep it securely in place with minimal adhesive. Certain luxury vinyl products are specifically engineered for this installation method.

We'll evaluate your subfloor and recommend the installation method that delivers the best long-term performance.

How do you maintain luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring is easy to care for with a few simple habits. To keep your floors looking their best:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly
• Mop with a damp microfiber mop and manufacturer-approved cleaner
• Wipe up spills quickly
• Use entry mats to reduce dirt and grit
• Place felt pads beneath furniture
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool
• Lift heavy furniture instead of dragging it

Routine maintenance helps preserve your floor's appearance for years.
