Why Luxury Vinyl is Becoming so Popular
Durability
The exceptional performance of luxury vinyl flooring is one of it’s biggest attributes. Luxury vinyl features a protective wear layer which sheilds the floor from scratches. Heavy foot traffic, kids, and pets are no match for the strength of luxury vinyl.
Visual Appeal
Luxury vinyl looks amazing and is capable of replicating both the look and feel hardwood and tile. For the look of hardwood, choose luxury vinyl planks(LVP). LVP uses HD imaging, embossing, and beveled edges to replicate the natural look and feel of wood. LVP is also shaped like wood boards. So installing a design like a brick pattern is possible, as is a random installation pattern, giving you the look of a real hardwood floor.
For the look of tile choose luxury vinyl tile(LVT). LVT achieves the look of ceramic and stone tiles by creating tiles that have unique surface textures and natural color variations. Patterns can be customized just like real tile, and in some cases, grout can be used during installation.
Water-Resistance
Although some hard surface flooring may not be well suited for moist environments, luxury vinyl can be installed in bathrooms and kitchens without any issues. Luxury vinyl does not buckle or cup when exposed to humidity, so installing in every room is a possibility.
Comfort
Carpet used to be the only flooring known for it’s comfort, but now luxury vinyl is becoming more widely recognized for it’s nice feel. Luxury vinyl is softer than other hard surface flooring, and some types of vinyl are using cork and other types of padding to provide extreme comfort while reducing noise levels.
Maintenance
Luxury vinyl is very easy to maintain. Sweeping and the occasional deeper clean using an all purpose cleaner is all that is needed to keep these floors looking like new.
Less Tear-up
Oftentimes, luxury vinyl can be installed directly over existing surfaces, unless they are deteriorating or in cases of height restriction.
Cost
Luxury Vinyl is generally less expensive than hardwood or tile. Often you can avoid tear up which can add to your total labor cost
