Is vinyl flooring the right choice for your home? That decision depends on a number of factors, including your lifestyle, whether you have kids or pets, the amount of foot traffic in different rooms, and even the style and character you’re looking to create in your home. Flooring is an important design element in a room so it’s important to find a flooring choice that balances practicality with your personal style and personality.
Improvements in technology along with superior materials and advanced manufacturing technology mean this is not your grandparent’s tile. This stylish tile offers easier installation, improved durability, and designs your grandparents could only have dreamt of years ago. In this vinyl flooring buying guide, we’ll walk you through determining if luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is the right choice for you.
What Is Resilient Vinyl Flooring?
Just as its name suggests, this flooring option is resilient. LVT can take anything that gets thrown at it and emerge unscathed. It has become increasingly popular for its value, easy installation, and durability. It’s also comfortable to walk on, relatively quiet, easy to clean, and highly water-resistant. Those are all important considerations if you have young children or boisterous pets in the house!
Luxury vinyl flooring mimics the look of stone or wood without the cold hardness of stone or the maintenance needs of hardwood. Easy-care vinyl is available in wide width planks with various surface textures in an almost endless variety of different looks. It’s easy to maintain and long-lasting addition to kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements but works equally well in any area of your home.
The Benefits of Luxury Vinyl Flooring
- It’s available in a wide range of stylish options to fit almost any design aesthetic.
- Forget about hard, ice-cold floors with LVT. This flooring is delightfully comfortable to walk on because of the padded bottom layer. It offers the perfect combination of a soft foot-feel and firm support for safe, comfortable walking.
- Even high-quality LVT is more affordable than many other high-end flooring options.
- LVT is durable. That makes it easy for you to maintain its good looks for many years. It’s easy-clean properties also contribute to a healthier home.
- The transparent protective outer layer protects the tiles from spills and ugly staining.
- You’ll never have to worry about water damage with properly installed LVT.
We’ll discuss more on these benefits of LVT flooring below.
A Healthier Flooring Option
Greenguard certification ensures that a flooring option is safer for your home because it doesn’t emit harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Products have to meet strict emissions limits on more than 10,000 chemicals in order to earn this certification.
Luxury vinyl flooring offers some of the comforts of carpet without any of the unsightly stains, dust, mildew, and mold that’s so often prevalent in carpeting and carpet pads. Those lingering vacuuming leftovers can contribute to allergies, asthma, and other breathing problems. Banish those potential health problems by simply sweeping and damp mopping your LVT flooring regularly.
Amazing Quality at an Affordable Price
The quality of luxury vinyl tile far surpasses that of ordinary vinyl tiles. For that reason, the price of LVT is comparable to ceramic tile and similar high-end flooring materials. You can get the same great look as real stone or hardwood at a more cost-effective price. Save even more with District Floor Depot’s mill-direct pricing. By buying directly from the mill, and bypassing middlemen, we can offer our customers the best prices in the region.
