Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring is waterproof flooring designed to look like hardwood, marble, stone or concrete. Available as luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), it combines realistic visuals, everyday durability and easy maintenance for kitchens, bathrooms, basements, mudrooms and other high-traffic spaces. 

Benefits of Luxury Vinyl Flooring 

• Waterproof construction for moisture-prone rooms
• Scratch- and stain-resistant surfaces for busy households
• Softer, warmer feel underfoot than tile or concrete
• Simple care with sweeping and occasional damp mopping
• Wood-, stone- and concrete-look styles for a range of designs

Where to Use Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Luxury vinyl flooring is a practical choice for rooms that need durability, comfort and water resistance, including kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, entryways, basements, home gyms and light commercial spaces.

How to Choose Luxury Vinyl Flooring

• Start with the room. Prioritize waterproof products for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements.
• Choose the right format. Select LVP for hardwood style or LVT for stone, marble, ceramic or concrete looks.
• Match durability to traffic. Use a thicker wear layer for pets, kids, busy households or commercial spaces.
