Luxury Vinyl Tile
Get the look of wood without the expense.
Luxury Vinyl Tile is often confused with other hard flooring types such as laminate or Vinyl Composite Tile (VCT), despite its construction and aesthetic differences. With a wide range of design choices, LVT can replicate the look of natural hard flooring such as stone or wood, without the install or maintenance expenses associated with either.
LVT is made of several layers that are fused together under heat and pressure:
- Vinyl backing
- Vinyl core
- Print film layer (with your chosen design)
- Protective clear layer known as the ‘wear layer’ and finished with a polyurethane coating which is sometimes reinforced with ceramic bead, silica bead or aluminum oxide

Laminate
Imitation at its best.
Not to be confused with laminated wood floors (engineered wood), laminates consist of a melamine top layer veneered to a fiber core. The top layer is essentially imprinted with pattern, texture, and color to imitate the look of traditional wood plank floors. Laminate is far less costly, faster to install, and easier to maintain than hardwood. Most laminates can be easily installed over existing floors, making this an easy and fast way to freshen the look of any room.
