Durable luxury vinyl flooring has a sophisticated look

Four-layer flooring

 
Look for luxury vinyl flooring that has a thick wear layer. This transparent surface layer, which protects the wood or tile image layer, determines durability. It's prudent to purchase a top-of-the-line product because once the image is worn, the flooring must be replaced. A 20-mil wear layer will adequately protect a plank or tile floor subjected to heavy foot traffic or rambunctious pets. The backing layer, located on the bottom of the flooring, protecting the core.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Core layer

 
While some companies develop their innovative core material, many more companies include a wood-plastic composite or a stone plastic composite core in their flooring. Planks and tiles that have a WPC or an SPC core are waterproof. The former is made with wood byproducts, while the latter is composed of limestone. While WPC flooring is quite durable, SPC flooring is almost indestructible, and thus, it is appropriate for commercial applications.

Installation

 
Most vinyl plank flooring is designed for floating floor installation. Since LVP fits together, it doesn't need to be attached to a subfloor. Many LVT flooring brands lock together, but glue-down brands are abundant, too. Loose lay LVP or LVT butts together. Its heavier weight, along with friction, keeps it in place. Luxury vinyl flooring can be installed over cement slabs and most existing hard surface floors. Some brands have pre-attached underlayment.
