Luxury Vinyl FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about luxury vinyl flooring options from Carpet & Tile Mart.
What Is the Difference Between Vinyl Flooring and Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring is the premium version of traditional vinyl flooring. It has a thicker and more durable composition, and is typically available in tiles (LVT) and planks (LVP). Carpet & Tile Mart offers a wide selection of top-quality LVT and LVP flooring for homes and commercial properties.
Are Luxury Vinyl Floors Waterproof?
Yes, most modern luxury vinyl floors are designed to be waterproof. They feature a layered construction that includes a waterproof core and a protective wear layer that prevents liquids from seeping through the core layers. While luxury vinyl floors are waterproof, they are not "flood-proof," and prolonged submersion can cause significant damage to the material.
Is It Okay to Use Luxury Vinyl Plank in the Bathroom?
Yes, LVPs are suitable for use in the bathroom. They can withstand moisture and humidity, and they are easy to clean and comfortable to walk on.
How Long Does Luxury Vinyl Flooring Last?
Luxury vinyl flooring can last between 10 and 25 years, depending on the material, thickness, installation method and ongoing maintenance. A thicker wear layer offers increased durability against regular wear and tear, while low foot traffic helps prolong the flooring's lifespan. Cores made from rigid stone polymer composite (SPC) are also longer-lasting than wood plastic composite (WPC) cores.

How Thick Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring?

Medium-thickness planks (5 to 6 millimeters) are suitable for moderate-traffic areas, such as bedrooms and living rooms. Thicker options (7 to 8+ millimeters) are ideal for high-traffic spaces, such as kitchens and hallways.

Can Luxury Vinyl Be Installed Over Hardwood Floors?
Yes, you can install luxury vinyl over hardwood floors. However, you must prepare the surface properly, and the existing hardwood must be in good condition. Otherwise, you can end up with uneven and unstable flooring.
How Should You Clean Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Sweep or vacuum using a soft brush to remove surface dirt and dust. Use a damp mop with a mild cleaner and warm water to remove remaining grime. Clean spills immediately, and avoid using steam cleaners to prevent damage to the adhesive. Follow regular cleaning practices for longevity.
Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring Good for Pets?
Yes, luxury vinyl flooring is great for homes with pets due to its waterproof and easy-to-clean nature. It has superior resistance to scratches and dents, and can handle spills and accidents. Luxury vinyl flooring is soft and quiet underfoot, so it is comfortable for pets to walk and run on. Some options also feature a textured, nonslip surface to provide better traction.
