What is luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring or LVP is an alternative to carpeting or hardwood flooring that is easy to use and very affordable. It is made of several layers of vinyl, plastic, underlayment, and a finished almost indestructible surface, which is of the highest quality material that is both strong and durable.

Luxury vinyl is also a great waterproof flooring alternative that can be installed successfully in a bathroom or kitchen without compromising the integrity of the floor. This flooring is as durable as laminate flooring, yet better protected against water. It comes in all sorts of colors that mimic hardwood such as hickory, oak, walnut or cherry. It also feels wonderful to the touch and is safe for children to play on.

How is luxury vinyl made?

Luxury vinyl is manufactured by using synthetic compound resins to form a stable core that is then pressed together with virgin raw vinyl to form a plank resembling hardwood flooring, or in a rectangle or square to mimic tile. This process forms a sturdy flooring option that usually carries a lifetime residential warranty. LVP comes in a few different constructions such as SPC (stone polymer composite), WPC (wood plastic composite), or a rigid core. These options are all excellent flooring choices.

Companies such as Shaw and American Luxury Vinyl design and produce luxury vinyl plank in an array of styles and designs. They go well in high end luxury homes, or cabins and farmhouses. This flooring will protect against wear and tear for years to come.

Why should you buy LVP right now?
