FAQ

Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring are durable, hard-surface floors composed of multiple layers: an outer coating, a protective wear layer, a printed design layer, a vinyl core, and a backing that bonds with the underlayment. They simulate wood or stone at a fraction of the cost of real tile or hardwood.
