Luxury vinyl plank flooring in a Smithfield, RI home

What’s the difference between LVP and LVT flooring?


Sometimes, even the subtlest differences can change things, which is why the differences in luxury vinyl flooring could matter to you. In today's post, we will look at these differences, so read along to discover what they are and how they might affect you.

Comparing luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile

The only real difference between luxury vinyl plank and tile is the format, which can change how your floors look. However, other benefits are essentially the same, especially concerning lifespan and durability, which can mean the most to you overall.

Both products feature a layered construction design with a top wear layer for added stain, scuff, and scratch resistance, even under heavy wear conditions. And they both offer complete waterproof protection as well, thanks to core materials that ensure the materials will never crack, warp, or buckle.

Since you can tailor the thickness of the flooring and its wear layer, you can customize the protection you'll receive once the floors are in place. Be sure to ask about the quick and easy installation options and maintenance requirements and the lifespan, which could offer as many as 20 years or more with proper care.
