Luxury vinyl flooring: beauty, durability, and comfort in every step
Are you looking for a floor that checks all the boxes? Luxury vinyl flooring is the smart choice for busy homes, stylish spaces, and more. It’s waterproof, easy to clean, and looks just like natural wood or stone. Whether you’re upgrading a kitchen, redoing a bathroom, or planning a whole-home refresh, we make it easy to find the perfect luxury vinyl flooring that fits your lifestyle and design goals.
Discover what makes luxury vinyl such a smart investment, and how we can help you find the best option for your home.
Shopping for the right luxury vinyl floors
Not all vinyl is created equal. When you shop for luxury vinyl flooring, you’ll want to compare a few key features so you get the best fit for your space.
- LVP vs. LVT flooring: Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) mimics the look of hardwood and comes in long, narrow boards. LVP flooring is perfect if you love the warmth of wood but need something more practical. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) looks like stone or ceramic and works well in bathrooms or entryways.
- SPC vs. WPC core: These acronyms refer to the core structure. SPC (stone polymer composite) is more rigid and better for high-traffic or commercial spaces. WPC (wood polymer composite) feels softer and warmer underfoot, which is great for comfort in living rooms and bedrooms.
- Wear layer and thickness: Thicker vinyl and a tougher wear layer mean longer-lasting protection. If you have pets, kids, or heavy furniture, choose a floor with at least a 20 mil wear layer and a total thickness of 5 mm or more.
- Color and shade: From driftwood grays to warm chestnuts, luxury vinyl flooring comes in every shade you can imagine. Lighter tones open up smaller rooms, while darker hues add drama and depth. We’ll help you match the color to your cabinets, walls, and décor.
- Installation options: Some planks click together for a floating floor, while others glue down for more permanent coverage. If moisture is a concern, like in a basement or bathroom, ask us about waterproof glue-down options. Want a quiet, cushioned step? Ask about built-in underlayment options, too.
