Flooring stores are filled with a colorful, diverse selection of materials. It can be hard to wrap your head around them all. One option to consider is luxury vinyl flooring. This versatile material has many uses, and the following guide will help you determine if it’s right for your remodel.

Your Guide to Luxury Vinyl Floors

What Is It?

Luxury vinyl flooring is composed of various resins and additives that are melted and pressed into preferred shapes. A high-resolution image is then applied to the top and sealed with a transparent wear-resistant layer.

This material is cut into planks, tiles, and large 6- or 12-foot sheets. These are clipped together on top of the raw subfloor and cut to fit the room’s dimensions.

What Are the Benefits?

Luxury vinyl’s innovative design makes it both durable and customizable. The resin and additive layers are scratch-resistant, slip-resistant, and waterproof. The design feels more comfortable underfoot than traditional tile or hardwood and can reduce foot-traffic noise.

Homeowners choose this material because it mimics more expensive alternatives. Planks can have the texture and color of stained hardwood, the unique cuts of tile, or the effects of natural stone, including intricate patterns and mosaics. This design freedom and affordability ensure you achieve your remodeling goals without going over your budget.

Where to Use It

Vinyl flooring goes great in kitchens and bathrooms because of its water-resistant qualities. Match a rich hardwood design to your cabinets or create a clean bathroom oasis by mimicking marble floors. It’s ideal for hallways, entryways, and high-traffic areas thanks to its durability. It also works well in bedrooms if you want an option other than carpeting.
