Stylish luxury vinyl flooring with lasting performance

LVT vs. LVP flooring: what's the difference?

Luxury vinyl flooring is available in two main styles: LVT and LVP.

• Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) recreates the appearance of hardwood flooring with realistic grain patterns and long plank designs. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is ideal for those who want the warmth of wood without the upkeep.
• Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) mimics ceramic, porcelain, slate, and natural stone. Luxury vinyl tile delivers a modern look while feeling warmer and more comfortable underfoot than traditional tile.

Both options offer excellent durability, so your decision usually comes down to the style you prefer.

WPC vs. SPC cores

Luxury vinyl flooring is also available with different core constructions.

• WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) provides a softer, more cushioned feel and helps reduce sound, making it a great option for bedrooms and living spaces.
• SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) features a rigid core designed for exceptional durability and stability. It's well-suited for high-traffic areas and busy households.

How to choose your luxury vinyl flooring width and thickness

Plank size affects both appearance and performance.

Wide planks create an open, contemporary look, while narrower planks complement traditional interiors. Longer planks also reduce visible seams across larger spaces.

Floor thickness influences how solid the flooring feels underfoot, while the wear layer helps protect against scratches and everyday wear. Choosing the right combination helps ensure lasting performance.

How do you choose the right luxury vinyl flooring colour?

Luxury vinyl flooring is available in a wide range of colours and styles.

Light colours brighten rooms and make smaller spaces feel larger. Medium wood tones remain popular because they work with almost any décor, while darker colours add warmth and contrast.

Whether you prefer classic oak, weathered grey, maple, walnut, or a realistic stone look, there's a luxury vinyl style to match your home.

What luxury vinyl flooring installation methods are available?

Luxury vinyl flooring offers several installation options: click-lock, glue-down, and loose-lay.

• Click-lock floating floors are the most popular because they install efficiently without adhesive.
• Glue-down flooring provides added stability for commercial spaces and high-traffic areas.
• Some products also feature loose-lay installation, using weight and friction to remain securely in place.

Professional installation helps maximize the performance and lifespan of your new flooring.

How do you clean and maintain luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring is designed for easy care.

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and grit, then damp mop using a manufacturer-approved cleaner as needed. Wipe up spills promptly and place mats at entrances to reduce tracked-in debris.

Use felt pads beneath furniture legs and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.

With routine maintenance, LVP and LVT flooring can look great for many years.
