Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring has quickly become one of the most popular flooring options in both residential and commercial settings. It’s a more affordable option compared to traditional flooring materials like hardwood or ceramic tile. But what exactly is LVT flooring, and why is it so appealing?
LVT is made from multiple layers of PVC vinyl, which are compressed together to form a highly durable, flexible material. The top layer is a protective wear layer that shields the flooring from scratches, scuffs, and stains. Under the protective top layer, there’s a detailed image layer that mimics the look of wood, stone, or tile, giving LVT its realistic and versatile appearance. The core layers keep the flooring strong and stable, making it resistant to moisture, heat, and daily wear.
One of the biggest perks of LVT flooring is that it can look just like real wood or stone, but without the high cost or hassle of maintaining the real thing. LVT mimics wood or stone so convincingly that it’s often hard to tell the difference, yet it doesn’t require the same level of upkeep. Unlike hardwood, LVT won’t warp or crack due to humidity. And unlike stone, it feels softer and warmer underfoot.
LVT is waterproof, making it ideal for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. It's also easy to clean and maintain, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional mopping.
LVT flooring offers the perfect combination of style, durability, and affordability. It’s a versatile option that can work well in any room of the house. Whether you're renovating a home or upgrading a commercial space, LVT is a flooring solution worth considering.
