What type of luxury vinyl floor is right for you?
All luxury vinyl flooring has a special photographic film layer that includes a high definition photo of either natural wood or stone. The floor’s surface is textured to mirror the exact grains and other characteristics of the wood or tile image. It’s no surprise that most homeowners have a difficult time discerning between luxury vinyl and its natural counterparts.
The two main types of vinyl today are planks and tiles.
Luxury vinyl floors come in waterproof and water-resistant variations.
Most luxury vinyl products are water-resistant and can hold up to the occasional splash or spill. However, if puddles are allowed to sit on the floor long enough, the moisture will eventually sink below the surface of the vinyl and cause problems below.
With waterproof luxury vinyl flooring, you’ll have 100% protection, even if you aren’t able to clean up a mess right away. This is thanks to a watertight seal that doesn’t let liquids escape through it. Waterproof luxury vinyl can also be installed so that it doesn’t have seams between each tile or plank where moisture can leak in. It has a layered construction that’s resilient to warping, even in high-humidity situations. Some products also feature a specialized core that prevents moisture from reaching the subfloor.
With a little research and planning, it's possible to install vinyl flooring throughout your entire home.
Because of its synthetic construction, luxury vinyl flooring is incredibly resilient. There are multiple installation methods you can choose from depending on the type of luxury vinyl floor you choose. For example, a sheet vinyl option comes in rolls and is glued down with a permanent adhesive. Luxury vinyl planks and tiles can usually be installed over existing floors and subfloors using a click-lock floating method.
Floating floors are easy and fast to install, and simple to repair and replace in the future. We also have glue-down vinyl flooring options for more high-traffic, moisture-prone settings. Vinyl is soft and flexible, and relatively comfortable underfoot when compared to hard surfaces like tile. Many luxury vinyl options even include cushioned layers, such as cork or fiberboard, for extra comfort and sound absorption. At the same time, the surface remains warm to the touch. There are luxury vinyl floors that are equipped to handle any space in your home, as well as business settings.
Although vinyl flooring is easier to install than carpet or hardwood, professional installation is your safest bet. Ask us about our installation options!
Yes, in fact, luxury vinyl flooring is extremely easy to take care of. It’s a great flooring option if you have a kid-friendly or pet-friendly home. Only routine damp mopping is required, and this may only be necessary in areas with significant foot traffic. Also, luxury vinyl floors, because they are resilient, will rarely crack or chip.
Nonetheless, when it comes to cleaning, we do recommend relying on any manufacturer specifications so as to not void any warranties.
