Luxury vinyl is used in areas where moisture, traffic and durability requirements overlap. It is commonly installed in entryways, kitchens, bathrooms and commercial spaces.
Available formats include luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), designed to replicate wood and stone finishes. Construction types include SPC and WPC cores, providing stability and resistance to movement. Wear layers vary in thickness depending on application and protect against scratches and surface wear. Installation options include click-lock floating systems and glue-down formats for larger or commercial environments.
Functionality with a touch of luxury.
Waterproof, scratch-resistant, and gorgeous — the modern do-it-all flooring.
Easy to clean, soft underfoot and available in waterproof and pet-friendly options. The look you want and the performance you require.
Ideal Rooms
All rooms: living, dining, family, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, mud and basement.
Benefits
- Easy to maintain – Sweep or vacuum regularly (don't use the beater bar). Wash occasionally with the manufacturer's recommended cleaning product.
- Durability – Perfect for high-traffic areas — water and stain-resistant.
- Affordable – A great alternative for homeowners who don't want hardwood costs. Luxury vinyl mirrors hardwood, tile and stone looks.
Considerations
- It's a replication – It's not actually real tile or hardwood. It may not bring the same resale value as a hardwood floor.
- It may scratch – Luxury vinyl tile replicates ceramic, stone or slate. As it's softer, it may scratch more easily.
Tips to think about.
Durability.
Luxury vinyl is durable and comes with scratch, stain and wear-performance options — built to handle the busy, real life of your home.
Pet friendly
If you have furry family members, luxury vinyl is a great choice. Pet-accident clean-up is easy.
Scratches show
Because luxury vinyl is softer than real tile, stone or slate, it may scratch more easily — a small compromise for the warmth and comfort it brings.
Pre-work
Depending on the existing floor, removal could be an additional expense. Sub-floor condition may also require additional prep.
Plank sizing
Luxury vinyl plank replicates the look of hardwood and is available in a wide range of plank sizes. Planks are typically 36–60" long and 5–7¾" wide, with bevelled edges and ends.
