What’s the Difference Between LVP and LVT?
One of the questions we get the most is: what’s the difference between luxury vinyl plank flooring (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT)? LVP comes in a plank form and provides the look of genuine hardwood. LVT comes from the conventional tile squares. They are both types of luxury vinyl flooring. The distinction is between their configuration, plank or tile.
Let’s dive deeper into the many questions we get about luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT).
Which is better LVP or LVT flooring?
Both types of flooring are essentially the same in design and durability. The only difference is their configuration: plank or tile. Often, luxury vinyl plank comes in a hardwood look, while luxury vinyl tile comes in stone or concrete.
Is LVT used in high-end homes?
Both LVT and LVP are used in high-end homes, particularly for their durability and resistance. They are easy to install and resistant to scratch, mold, and moisture. Also, if you have kids or pets, LVP and LVT are great.
Does LVT look cheap?
LVT does not look cheap with the right brand, material, and installation.
Why Should I Install LVT or LVP In My Home?
There are three reasons to install luxury vinyl tile or luxury vinyl plank in your home:
- Durability: Luxury floor tiling is very durable and lasts long. The secret is through the layers it’s made with, the vinyl backing, the vinyl core, the print film layer, and the protective clear layer. LVT is finished with a polyurethane coating.
- Less maintenance: LVT is easier to clean and maintain than other types of flooring because of how it’s constructed. It’s a popular choice for many houses and companies.
- The look: There are many different design options to fit your house and style. From wood, to stone and concrete, LVT is a great choice to finish your room or house.
