Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring
Whether you want flooring that makes a bold statement or creates a cohesive look with the rest of your space, you can bring your vision to life with Carpet & Tile Mart. Our luxury vinyl tile (LVT) floors can help you achieve the appearance of natural materials ranging from veined marble to industrial concrete.Â
What Is Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring?
If you want the luxurious look of natural materials at a cost-effective price, LVT floors offer your solution. Today's state-of-the-art technology allows manufacturers to print highly detailed, photographic images of stone or ceramic onto luxury vinyl. The tiles come in square or rectangular-shaped designs.
Benefits of Luxury Vinyl Floors
Many homeowners and industry professionals prefer LVT flooring because it's:
- Stylish: Luxury vinyl can help you create any classic or contemporary appearance you prefer. Our flooring selection features many colors, patterns and textures to complement your interior design. You can use our visualizing tool to see how different products will look in a room.Â
- Durable: LVT is one of the most durable flooring options available. Each tile includes multiple layers to withstand heavy foot traffic while resisting stains and spills, offering peace of mind for families with children and pets. We support all warranties and guarantees from manufacturers.
- Comfortable: Luxury vinyl can feel softer and warmer than hardwood and other types of flooring. The thickness of the materials provides a more padded feel than stone or ceramic, offering underfoot comfort. Some of our products feature insulative properties that can help reduce noise in busy areas, such as hallways or entryways.Â
- Easy to install: Many LVT products are floating floors, which can be installed directly on top of existing hard surfaces and don't require adhesion to stay in place. Our professionals can assess your subfloors to determine the best flooring installation methods for your project.Â

Common Questions About LVT Flooring
If you have any questions about our offerings, here are some of the FAQs we get about our LVT flooring:
Is LVT flooring waterproof?
Yes, many modern LVT floors use either stone-plastic composite (SPC) or wood-plastic composite (WPC) cores, which are dense and waterproof. These synthetic materials are designed not to absorb water, swell or warp, even with repeated exposure to moisture. Floors commonly feature a clear top seal that protects the material underneath.
While LVT flooring is engineered for moisture resistance, poor installation still creates vulnerabilities that water can exploit. When installed incorrectly, the seams between tiles can create gaps for water to seep through. This is why our installers assess the subfloors before installation to ensure the best flooring.
Is LVT a good choice for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. As waterproof flooring, LVT is a great option for spaces that are exposed to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens. Its thicker and more cushioned construction makes it feel warmer and softer to stand on than ceramic tiles, providing better comfort for everyday tasks like cooking. The protective top layer makes it stain- and scuff-resistant, meaning your flooring will be better protected from oil and product spills.
How do you clean and maintain LVT flooring?
Typically, a simple sweep or vacuum and a damp mop will do. LVT is low-maintenance, so it won't require buffing or waxing. It also lacks grout lines that need to be scoured or resealed. Its low-maintenance nature matters most in a room that often experiences spills. Avoid using harsh or abrasive chemicals as they may damage the flooring.
Can damaged LVT tiles be replaced?
Yes, individual LVT tiles can be swapped without replacing the entire floor. We have a vast collection of tiles, making it easier for you to find one that matches your existing floor. We have a large network of installers who can help you replace damaged tiles. We are confident in our installers' craftsmanship, so we back installations with a two-year workmanship warranty.
Can LVT flooring be installed in a basement?
Yes. LVT is waterproof, meaning it can handle the humidity and moisture without warping, rotting or swelling like hardwood or laminate flooring. Its water resistance makes it an ideal option for your basement. However, you will need to ensure a smooth surface so the floor doesn't separate or shift.
What is the difference between LVT and ceramic tile?
There are several differences between LVT and ceramic tile:
- Underfoot comfort: LVT is often warmer and softer underfoot, while ceramic is harder.
- Ease of installation: LVT is easier and faster to install.
- Cost: LVT is also more affordable than ceramic.
On the other hand, ceramic offers a classic aesthetic, and it is also more durable and long-lasting than LVT.
