As a result of the evolution of technology, vinyl flooring has seen a huge transformation with time. Manufacturers now have the ability to create a product that compares to hardwood, ceramic and stone in both appearance and performance. Vinyl floors are constructed in different ways, the majority of vinyl floors are sold in long rolls commonly known as sheet vinyl. These sheets are typically composed of a backing layer, a vinyl core, a printed image layer and the protective wear layer. The image layer features a high-quality photograph that imitates the appearance of hardwood or tile. Vinyl floors are also manufactured in planks or tiles for a more traditional flooring installation and appearance. Vinyl planks and tiles can be manufactured in a layered way similar to sheet vinyl, or they can be one solid piece all the way from the tile’s surface to its backing. These solid vinyl tiles are more durable and will show less wear, but they don't necessarily feature the high-quality image layer that many homeowners are looking for.
There are countless advantages to installing luxury vinyl in your home. It is available in a wide selection of colors, sizes, textures, styles, and more that allow it to be used in a variety of designs. Luxury vinyl is low maintenance flooring, meaning you spend less time cleaning and more time doing what you love. No special chemicals or equipment are required to keep it clean. It is water-resistant which makes it convenient for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. There are also waterproof options like Invincible H2O. Luxury vinyl combines durability and comfort all in one floor.
Expert Advice - LVT FlooringLuxury vinyl flooring, or LVT flooring, has become more and more popular in residential and commercial settings. Join our very own Jim Aaron, VP of Merchandising for Carpet One Floor & Home, for some inside information about luxury vinyl. |
Luxury vinyl flooring is available in several different formats, making it easy to satisfy just about every budget and lifestyle. For those on more limited budgets, sheet vinyl has long been the standard go-to. Sheet vinyl has been around for a while, but has definitely improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. It shows very few seams following installation, offers realistic visuals, and is considered waterproof. Planks and tiles use the same printed image technology to achieve hardwood and stone facades. These higher-end vinyl styles can be installed in customized formations, similar to actual hardwood or tile, for a very convincing appearance.
While all luxury vinyl is generally moisture-resistant, some varieties are actually 100% waterproof. Rigid core and WPC are two options for those requiring extremely tough, waterproof flooring for their basement, kitchen, bathroom, or commercial site. Have you got your heart set on a vinyl that’s not fully waterproof? Generally, this shouldn’t be a problem, provided any spills or accidents are attended to promptly.
Luxury vinyl flooring is great all-purpose flooring and truly has few limitations. It presents options for all types of residential and commercial interiors. Since luxury vinyl flooring remains one of the fastest-growing flooring areas, new products and innovations continue to evolve with the onset of new technologies and trends.
