LUXURY VINYL

Luxury vinyl flooring

The primary types of luxury vinyl are Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP), and Sheet Vinyl, distinguished by their appearance and shape. LVT offers a tile appearance, LVP mimics wood planks, and Sheet Vinyl provides large, seamless coverage. Within LVP and LVT, the core material further classifies products into three main types: WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) for a warmer feel, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) for superior rigidity and durability, and Hybrid Core which combines both for balanced properties.

Types of Luxury Vinyl Flooring

  • Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT): Designed to look like stone or tile; available in many styles; installs with adhesive or interlocking systems.
  • Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Plank format replicating hardwood flooring.
  • Sheet Vinyl: Traditional, large continuous sheets for seamless coverage.

Core Types (Primarily for LVP/LVT)

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)

  • Core: Blend of wood pulp and plastic composites.
  • Characteristics: Softer, warmer underfoot; good sound insulation; forgiving on uneven subfloors.
  • Best For: Areas where comfort and a slightly softer surface are desired.

Stone Plastic Composite (SPC)

  • Core: Limestone powder blended with plastic composites.
  • Characteristics: High rigidity; excellent impact and temperature resistance; extremely stable.
  • Best For: High-traffic areas and situations prioritizing durability and dent resistance.

Hybrid Core

  • Core: Multi-layer combination of WPC and SPC materials.
  • Characteristics: Balances WPC comfort with SPC rigidity and stability; highly water resistant.
  • Best For: Versatile installs seeking the best of both; may be more expensive.
