WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LUXURY VINYL FLOORS?

 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.

And what we think is the best feature is being able to get the look you really want.  Manufacturers of LVT have created tiles that are the shape and size of wood planks so when they are installed, you get the look of a wood floor.  This type of LVT can have beveled edges and even the texture you would expect in a hardwood or tile floor. 

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.
