Luxury vinyl flooring: the stylish, durable choice for every home
What is luxury vinyl flooring made of?
Luxury vinyl flooring combines strength and style in every layer. Here’s how it’s built:
- Wear layer: This is the top layer that keeps scratches, stains, and scuffs from marring your floor’s look. The wear layer is tough, so you don’t have to stress about daily wear and tear.
- Design layer: This layer gives luxury vinyl its look thanks to a high-definition image that mimics natural materials. Whether it's wood, stone, or tile you’re after, this design layer delivers realistic textures.
- Core layer: The core gives the flooring its stability and durability. Depending on the brand and type, this core might be a flexible vinyl layer or a rigid core made of stone plastic composite (SPC) or wood plastic composite (WPC).
- Backing layer: Finally, the backing layer provides additional support, keeping your floor in place and even adding a bit of comfort underfoot.

LVP and LVT flooring: choosing your style
Luxury vinyl flooring comes in two main styles: luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT). The difference? Mostly looks and installation options.
- Luxury vinyl plank (LVP): LVP flooring is designed to mimic hardwood with long, plank-like pieces. If you love the warm, classic look of wood but want something easier to care for, luxury vinyl plank is a great pick. It brings all the beauty of wood without the worry of warping, scratching, or water damage.
- Luxury vinyl tile (LVT): LVT flooring resembles stone or ceramic tiles, so it's perfect if you’re going for a sleek, sophisticated look. Luxury vinyl tile can be grouted to create a true tile appearance, adding realism to kitchens and bathrooms. Plus, it’s easier to stand on for long periods compared to hard tiles.
Whether you choose LVP or LVT flooring, both options are quick to install, low-maintenance, and highly resilient. Just decide whether you’re more drawn to the timeless look of wood or the polished look of stone or tile, and there’s a luxury vinyl option to match.
The benefits of luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring
Luxury vinyl flooring isn’t just about good looks—it comes with plenty of practical perks that make it a top choice for modern homes. Here’s why we recommend it:
- Waterproof: Luxury vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof, so it can handle moisture without worry. That makes this floor ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
- Easy installation: Many luxury vinyl planks and tiles are designed for simple, click-together installation. Whether you’re a DIY pro or prefer to have it installed, luxury vinyl flooring makes the job fast and easy.
- Durability: Luxury vinyl flooring is built to last. Its multi-layer construction means it can handle foot traffic, pets, and spills while staying beautiful year after year.
- Low maintenance: Cleaning luxury vinyl floors is a breeze. Just sweep and mop—no special treatments or polishes are required. It’s perfect for busy households that need a floor that looks great without the upkeep.
- Comfort underfoot: Unlike traditional tiles or hardwood, luxury vinyl has a bit of give, which makes it comfortable to walk on, even for long periods. Some styles even come with additional cushioning layers for added comfort.
With luxury vinyl flooring, you get both style and substance. It’s a choice that works for today’s lifestyles, delivering high design without the headache of high maintenance.
