LVP vs. LVT Flooring
LVP flooring is sold in a plank shape that usually resembles natural wood with realistic embossing and scraping. LVT flooring is sold in tile squares that usually resemble concrete or stone with surface textures for a natural look. Both types of flooring are constructed of multiple durable layers with a designed print film, wear layer, PVC core, and comfortable backing.

Things to Consider While Getting LVT Flooring
There are different types of LVT flooring, so you should keep a few things in mind when choosing the type for your home, including:
- Standard Vinyl LVT Flooring – LVT flooring is more durable and has a thicker wear layer than vinyl flooring.
- Applied Finishes – We offer no-wax finishes for low-traffic areas, urethane finishes that are resistant to scratches and scuffs, and enhanced urethane finishes for a high-floss look in heavy foot traffic areas. LVT commercial flooring is usually finished with enhanced urethane.
- Surface Texture – LVT flooring textures boost the authenticity of the surface with looks of stone or wood. The texture also increases resistance in areas like the bathroom or kitchen.
- Wear Layer Thickness – The wear layer is the thickest layer with different grades ranging from 4 mil to 40 mil.
