If you want beauty combined with affordability, waterproof capabilities, durability, and more, this is the floor for you!
Luxury vinyl flooring (LVF) offers fantastic value for the decorating dollar. Also of note is that they are ultra-strong with a semi-rigid construction yet have the warm and flexible feeling of resilient vinyl.
With luxury vinyl flooring, you can be sure of nature-inspired images, such as wood, stone, and tile, all taken with high-definition photography. The photos are vibrant and clear with knots, swirls, grains, veining variations, and brilliant colors and patterns and come in assorted matte, gloss, and high gloss colors. Technology, like micro beveling and embossing, adds depth, dimension, and textured looks, like wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, and distressed.
Adding to the realism is another design option where the material is cut into two forms. Long planks are called vinyl plank flooring, while tile-sized squares that can be used with or without grout are called LVT flooring. Again, it's a matter of personal preference as to how you use each form. While plank is mainly associated with hardwood, some use it for stone echoes, as they feel the larger format and fewer seams make it look more like a quarried slab. Others use the squares for stone or tile looks.
