Luxury vinyl plank

Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring is strong, affordable, and beautiful. And perhaps best of all, it's easy to install. It is scuff and wear resistant, which makes luxury vinyl flooring a great choice for busy households and high-traffic areas.

Because it is a thicker product, luxury vinyl feels somewhat softer underfoot and has better sound-blocking properties than standard vinyl flooring. This is especially true of luxury vinyl with cork or foam underlayment layers built into the product.


While luxury vinyl flooring is incredibly durable, it's not completely impervious to damage. It can scratch or scuff, especially with heavy objects such as appliances. On the positive side, luxury vinyl flooring is more scratch-resistant than hardwood, and, with LVP, you can replace pieces if they get scratched.08-Mar-2018

Compared to laminate, vinyl flooring is a clear winner when considering moisture exposure. Vinyl flooring is made entirely from plastic which gives it superior moisture resistance. Even extended exposure to splashes and spills won't damage its surface.


The rule of thumb is to use 4mm to 6mm thickness in heavily used areas of the house and 4mm and below for areas like the bedroom.


While LVT is extremely durable, it isn't totally indestructible. Luxury vinyl flooring can dent and even scratch or scuff, especially from heavy appliances, furniture, or other weighty objects. Just because it's resistant to something doesn't mean it's impervious to it.


You can use almost any floor cleaner on your LVT floor, except for a steam mop. The steam that comes out of a steam mop can be detrimental to your luxury vinyl floor. The heat, steam and moisture can penetrate into the LVT flooring tiles and cause damage


Vinyl plank and luxury vinyl plank/tile are very low in VOCs and off gassing but they do have the problem of semi-VOCs – the plasticizers. Most of it is phthalate-free now – though phthalates were replaced with alternate plasticizers. The most common plasticizer used now is DOTP.


For durability, ceramic and porcelain tile flooring is better. For ease of maintenance and comfort, LVT flooring wins. For easy installation and lower labor costs, LVT is the clear winner
