Design your perfect space with luxury vinyl flooring

How to choose your perfect luxury vinyl flooring

Not all luxury vinyl floors are the same. There are a few important things to consider when picking the right one for your home.

• LVP vs. LVT: LVP (luxury vinyl plank) mimics the look of hardwood, while LVT (luxury vinyl tile) looks like stone or ceramic. LVP flooring is great for cozy spaces like bedrooms or living rooms, while LVT flooring is a top pick for bathrooms and kitchens.
• WPC vs. SPC: WPC floors are softer and quieter underfoot, making them great for homes with young kids or where comfort is key. SPC floors are more rigid and better for high-traffic areas or places that see heavy use, like entryways or hallways.
• Wear layer thickness: A thicker wear layer means more durability. For homes with pets or kids, we recommend at least a 20 mil wear layer.
• Overall thickness: Thicker planks offer better sound control and a more solid feel. Many homeowners choose between 5 mm and 8 mm total thickness for a balance of comfort and durability.
• Color and shade: From classic oak to modern grays and distressed textures, luxury vinyl flooring comes in every style. Choose a color that fits your décor and hides dirt or pet hair if that’s a concern.
• Installation method: Most luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring uses click-lock installation for a floating floor, but some styles can be glued down for added stability. We’ll help you choose the right type based on your subfloor and room layout.

Why LVT and LVP flooring are a smart choice

Luxury vinyl flooring isn’t just trendy; it’s practical. Here’s why more Pensacola homeowners are making the switch.

• Waterproof: Perfect for Florida’s humid climate, LVP and LVT flooring resist moisture, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
• Easy maintenance: No special cleaners are needed to keep your luxury vinyl flooring clean. Also, it doesn’t trap allergens, making it a great option for allergy-prone families.
• Budget-friendly: You get the look of high-end wood or tile without the high-end price. It’s a cost-effective upgrade that doesn’t skimp on style.
• Comfort and quiet: Many styles have built-in padding, which helps reduce noise and adds a bit of softness underfoot. LVT and LVP flooring are especially nice in bedrooms or playrooms.
• Durable: It stands up to busy households, pets, spills, and everyday wear. With a strong wear layer, it keeps looking new for years.
• Style variety: Whether you want a warm rustic feel or a sleek modern vibe, luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring give you tons of design options.
