Looking for a fabulous flooring option that won’t take a bite out of your budget? Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVF) can enhance any space!
While hardwood, stone, and tile remain popular first-tier choices, Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) and Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) are options that are highly suitable alternatives to conventional flooring surfaces.
According to The Spruce, a home decor and renovation site, traditional sheet vinyl flooring was long regarded as the very best choice for locations where stain-resistance and moisture-resistance were issues. From the 1930’s forward, sheet vinyl was a popular choice for bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, and kitchens.
The downside of sheet vinyl is that it feels hard and stiff underfoot, especially if installed over concrete, and is prone to tearing or gouging, which requires tedious patching from another roll.
Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVF) was introduced in the 1970s. LVF contains six to eight layers of material. These layers include:
Single sheet vinyl has a reputation as a “bargain basement” flooring option. Sheet vinyl installation involves gluing the material to a sub-floor or concrete slab. If the material tears, tedious patching ensues.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) and Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) are seen as being more prestigious. Like a laminate or hardwoods, Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVF) most often clicks into place and floats over a sub-floor. If a plank or tile becomes worn over time, that area of the flooring is simply disassembled and the damaged unit is replaced.
Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) are often designed to simulate the look of wood, as is most laminate flooring. Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) are usually designed to simulate stone or ceramic tiles. Stone-look Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVF) may even include ground mineral content in its composition.
“Luxury” vinyl can be a misleading term. Take your time and see the product in-person if possible before placing your order. According to BobVila.com, Luxury Vinyl pricing varies based on the thickness (# of layers) in each plank or tile. Expect a lower cost for a product 4mm thick. You’ll pay a higher price for a higher quality product at 8mm thick. Thicker materials absorb more sound and feel substantial and cushioned underfoot.
