A Guide To Luxury Vinyl Flooring
What is Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring (LVP) offers the perfect blend of style and durability. It is crafted using advanced manufacturing techniques to mimic the look and feel of natural materials like hardwood or stone while providing exceptional performance benefits.
Luxury Vinyl Construction
Built for longevity, luxury vinyl consists of several layers:
- Wear Layer: Protects against scratches and stains.
- Vinyl Design Layer: Replicates the appearance of wood, stone, or tile.
- Core Layer: Provides stability and waterproof properties.
- Backing Layer: Adds strength and stability.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Sizing
Choose from a variety of plank sizes to suit your space, from narrow strips to wide planks, allowing for versatile installation options and customizable aesthetics.
The width of a luxury vinyl plank ranges from 4” to 9” or more. Wide plank luxury vinyl is trending right now because of style and speed of installation.
Installation Methods
- Glue Down or Direct Glue: Provides a permanent, stable installation suitable for high-traffic areas.
- GripStrip: May have a manufacturer applied adhesive layer that connects planks to each other.
- Click-Lock: Planks connect by tongue-and-groove joints.
- Floating: Allows for quick installation over most existing floors without adhesive.
