Luxury vinyl flooring: durable beauty for every room
Luxury vinyl flooring is one of the fastest-growing flooring categories for a reason. It gives you the look of hardwood or stone without the high price tag or the maintenance headaches. Whether you’re remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or living room, luxury vinyl offers a tough, waterproof surface that still feels comfortable underfoot. Laigle Floor Covering & Design is proud to offer a wide selection of luxury vinyl products and expert installation. We’ll help you choose the right style, type, and finish to match your space and your lifestyle.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes luxury vinyl flooring so popular and what you should know when shopping for it.
What to know when shopping for luxury vinyl floors
Not all vinyl is created equal. When you start looking at luxury vinyl flooring, there are a few terms and choices that can make a big difference in performance and appearance. Here’s a breakdown of what matters:
- LVT vs. LVP: LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile, which mimics the look of natural stone or ceramic tile. LVP is luxury vinyl plank, and it’s designed to look like hardwood. Both use high-definition imaging to create stunning visuals, but the shape and style you choose will depend on the look you want to achieve.
- WPC vs. SPC: These refer to the core type. WPC (wood plastic composite) has a softer, more cushioned feel and is great for comfort underfoot, which is ideal for bedrooms or living rooms. SPC (stone plastic composite) is denser and more rigid. It handles heavy foot traffic better, making it a smart pick for kitchens, entryways, or commercial spaces.
- Wear layer: This is the top protective layer that shields the surface from scratches, scuffs, and stains. For busy households with kids or pets, aim for a wear layer of at least 12 mil, though 20 mil or more is best for high-traffic areas.
- Thickness: Overall plank thickness typically ranges from 4 mm to 8 mm or more. Thicker planks offer better stability and sound insulation, especially when installed over subfloors with imperfections.
- Color: From rustic barnwood to sleek gray oak to modern stone, luxury vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of tones. Think about your home’s lighting, wall color, and furniture to find a tone that complements everything without overwhelming the room.
- Installation method: Some luxury vinyl products use click-lock floating systems, which are great for DIY or quick installs. Others are glue-down, offering maximum durability in commercial settings. We’ll help you decide which works best based on your space and subfloor.
