Is luxury vinyl flooring durable enough for my active family?

Luxury vinyl plank and tile stand up to the heaviest foot traffic and the punishment that only kids and pets can dish out. But it has a high-end style and a value that makes it appealing to anyone.

Layered with a tough wear coating

This is five times thicker than the original material. A tough, transparent wear layer is at the top, just over the design layer.

It protects the floor from scratches, scuffs, and dents. Over that is a clear urethane finish that adds extra strength and shine.

Luxury vinyl tile or plank is entirely waterproof, whether submerged or spilled on. Toppled water dishes and spills won't faze this!

A style for any room

Get rid of any memories you may have of the vinyl of past decades. This has a lot of depth and dimension, almost a 3D quality.

Images of wood, stone, and tile are taken digitally with micro beveling and embossing. You'll see textures like brushed, hand-scraped, distressed, and embossed-in-register.

Adding to the realism, it's available in plank or square, tile-sized pieces—all of this for a fraction of the cost of genuine materials.

Keeping your LVT and luxury plank floors in top shape

All they need is a regular sweeping and periodic damp mopping. Avoid abrasives and use manufacturer-approved cleaners.

Please stay away from waxy, shine-promoting cleaners as they damage the finish. That results in a dull floor.

Installation: a snap

The pieces click, mat, and hover over a subfloor without adhesives. But, of course, you can also glue it if you prefer.
