How durable is luxury vinyl flooring?

For many homeowners, durability is the most important characteristic a floor covering can have, and luxury vinyl flooring offers plenty. Whether you choose luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury vinyl tile (LVT), you’ll find both are excellent options for areas where activity levels are highest, so read along to find out why.

The performance of luxury vinyl plank and tile

Much of the performance that comes with your luxury vinyl is unseen. For instance, the backing layer offers excellent stability as a foundation for all the other layers.

When made of 100% vinyl or wood or stone plastic composite, the core layer offers complete protection against water damage, humidity, dampness, and spills throughout your entire home. It's an excellent choice for basements and laundry rooms and could save you the cost of replacement flooring should a leak or flood circumstance arise.

A wear layer adds another element of protection, resisting scuffs, stains, scratches, and fading, and is situated just above the visual layer. It is usually made of urethane and offers outstanding performance for many years.
