Why do some people have an adverse reaction to vinyl
floors? What most people don’t
know is that vinyl has come a long way and there is even a new category of
vinyl floors – Luxury Vinyl Tile or LVT.
LVT is perfect for rooms that may have moisture problems or
need a durable flooring option.
LVT can save you money. As much as
$4/sq. ft. compared to a similar hardwood style. That really adds up considering the
average kitchen size is 300 sq. ft.
LVT floors are softer and warmer. They are great if you spend a lot of time on your feet.
Below are some of the key features and benefits for LVT and
plank flooring:
- The look and feel of nature’s best materials at a lower cost.
- Satisfied Green building standards and earns LEED points in commercial applications.
- Meets requirements of commercial safety codes
- Simple damp mopping is the recommended cleaning procedure.
- LVT floors are water resistant.
- LVT is cost effective for both commercial and residential applications.
- LVT is ideal for residential high-traffic areas as well as other areas of the home.
- LVT has amazing aesthetics. The realism of the look, including distressed wood finishes, stone and slate textures and even woven textiles are grabbing consumer attention.
