What to consider when shopping for luxury vinyl floors
Not all luxury vinyl flooring is the same. Choosing the right product means understanding a few key differences. Our in-house design consultants walk you through each option so there are no surprises later.
LVT vs. LVP flooring
Luxury vinyl flooring comes in two main formats:
- Luxury vinyl tile (LVT): Designed to mimic stone, ceramic, or concrete. LVT flooring is popular in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and commercial spaces where a clean, modern look matters.
- Luxury vinyl plank (LVP): Designed to replicate hardwood planks. LVP flooring delivers warmth and realism while offering better moisture resistance than wood.
The choice often comes down to the visual you want and the space where the flooring will be installed.

WPC vs. SPC cores
The core of luxury vinyl flooring affects how it feels and performs.
- WPC (wood plastic composite): Softer underfoot and quieter. Ideal for living spaces and bedrooms where comfort matters.
- SPC (stone plastic composite): Denser and more rigid. Excellent for high-traffic areas, multi-family buildings, and commercial applications where durability is critical.
We help match the core type to your traffic levels and installation environment.
Width and thickness
Plank width and thickness influence both appearance and performance.
- Wider planks create a modern, open feel.
- Thicker planks offer better sound control and a more solid step.
For multi-family projects, thickness and underlayment choices can also support sound reduction requirements.
Color and shade selection
Luxury vinyl flooring offers everything from light Scandinavian tones to deep, rich wood looks and bold stone visuals. Lighter shades can make smaller rooms feel larger. Darker tones add contrast and drama. Neutral colors tend to perform best long-term, especially in rental or resale scenarios.
We help you balance trend appeal with longevity.
Installation methods
Luxury vinyl can be installed in several ways:
- Click-lock floating floors for fast, efficient installs
- Glue-down systems for commercial and multi-family durability
Our certified installers ensure the right method is used for your space, subfloor, and traffic demands.

What are the best rooms for luxury vinyl flooring?
One of the biggest advantages of luxury vinyl flooring is its versatility. It works in nearly every room.
- Kitchens: Luxury vinyl handles spills, dropped utensils, and constant foot traffic with ease. Wood-look planks are especially popular for creating a warm kitchen feel without worrying about moisture.
- Bathrooms: With waterproof construction and slip-resistant textures, luxury vinyl is a smart alternative to tile in bathrooms. It offers comfort underfoot and consistent visuals throughout the home.
- Living rooms and bedrooms: LVP flooring brings the look of hardwood into living areas while staying quieter and more forgiving underfoot. It’s a great choice for open-concept layouts and upper levels.
- Basements: Basements demand moisture-resistant flooring. Luxury vinyl flooring performs well below grade while still delivering style and warmth.
- Multi-family and commercial spaces: SPC luxury vinyl excels in hallways, units, offices, and shared spaces thanks to its stability, durability, and ease of replacement.
