Types of Luxury Vinyl Tile & Plank

Luxury vinyl tile is an enhanced vinyl floor made of multiple layers forming a thin but solid tile. Digital photographic imaging faithfully recreates the look of ceramic, quartz, slate, stone and other natural materials with exacting realism, including surface textures you can see and actually feel. Advanced manufacturing also creates multiple patterns so tiles can be combined with virtually no repeat pattern for the most natural visuals. It’s installed either with adhesive or a locking tab mechanism.

Caring for luxury vinyl tile is simple. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping will keep your floor looking beautiful. And its advanced protective coating provides superior scratch, stain and wear resistance while reinforcing the clarity of the visuals.

Luxury vinyl plank offers the looks and texture of genuine wood plank flooring, yet comes with all the ease of premium vinyl flooring.  One of the advantages of vinyl plank over any other flooring types is that it’s waterproof and can be installed anywhere in your home where moisture might be a problem.

Luxury vinyl plank delivers the same realistic visuals and textures of luxury vinyl tile but is thinner and more flexible. Along plank edges are adhesive tabs that stick to each other during installation so that the entire floor floats over the top of the subfloor.

Vinyl plank flooring is exceptionally durable and scratch resistant. And when it comes to cleaning, a vacuum or damp mop does the trick.

Best Rooms for Luxury Vinyl & Plank

Both luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank floors can be installed in any room, including dampness-prone basements. Unlike the flooring materials they mimic, spills on luxury vinyl clean up quickly without concern over warping, stains or water damage. For rooms where standing water might occur, such as bathrooms, basements or laundry rooms, waterproof luxury vinyl plank is recommended.

No matter which room you install these floors, you can count on their durability and underfoot comfort. Luxury vinyl is the perfect flooring for busy households with pets and kids.
