Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) – The Hip New Face of Flooring

It used to be that no one ever put “luxury” in the same sentence as “vinyl tile,” but times are changing. Forget that boring, industrial look… vinyl tile is finally hip! Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) isn’t exactly new, but the trend to make it more sophisticated has allowed manufacturers to get into a more creative space. And, because it’s vinyl, this luxury product is beautiful and affordable.

LVT can wear a number of hats. It can look like any tile from ceramic and travertine to slate and marble. The wood recreations have really thrived and mimic a spectrum of hardwood and laminate floors.  The natural appeal of the LVT planks (available in authentic plank lengths and widths like real hardwood) has opened up a new design look for commercial installations.

Durable, water resistant (if installed correctly), and easy to maintain, LVT products come with warranties up from 20-25 years. Pretty impressive! LVT has wear layers coated with urethane to make them even stronger and suitable for tough traffic. A vacuum and damp mop takes care of maintenance, making it a product to consider for almost any installation.

Another appeal is the sustainability aspect of the product. Vinyl is an easily recycled product and a number of manufacturers are using vinyl waste to produce the new tile.  So try to think past the days of ugly vinyl and start to look the endless possibilities of this popular product. See, you can put luxury and vinyl in the same sentence!
