LVT Flooring: What to Know

We here at Nice Floors know that you have nearly endless options for flooring solutions. Trust us, choosing from unlimited choices to fill your limited square footage can be daunting! 

If you’ve been searching through hardwood, carpet, tile, vinyl, and more, then you know how expert guidance could be helpful in making a decision. You’ve probably been trying to find out just what kind of flooring would suit your home. 

In recent years one type of flooring has been a dependable choice in residential and commercial buildings alike: luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring. 

Why has LVT become so popular? Its blend of beauty, durability, and versatility is hard to beat. 

At Nice Floors, we offer a variety of styles for LVT and can help you find an LVT option that could be the perfect fit for your space.

 

What Is LVT Flooring?

Luxury vinyl tile is a type of synthetic flooring that has the look and feel of natural materials like hardwood, stone, or ceramic tile. It seems like “the real thing”, but has plenty of additional benefits! 

In comparison with traditional wood or stone, LVT is a relatively affordable alternative that comes with style, durability, and low maintenance.

You’ve probably stopped wondering at this point why it is so popular–when you offer the look and feel of the authentic flooring while offering more perks, all the while at a lower price, popularity will follow. 

You can add on top of all that an easy installation, as LVT flooring typically comes in planks or tiles that can interlock. You can go DIY, or we can connect you to a seasoned professional for installation!

These tiles feature several layers, including: 

  • Wear layer for added protection
  • Printed vinyl layer that replicates natural materials
  • Core layer that adds strength and stability

 

Benefits of LVT Flooring

Aesthetic Appeal

It can mimic high-end materials like hardwood, marble, and stone–without a hefty price tag!

LVT floors can replicate the warm look of oak, the elegance of slate, or the sleekness of polished concrete.

Have a specific vision for your floor? The printed vinyl layer allows for many designs and textures that come in the colors, patterns, and finishes you are looking for. 

As such, LVT can suit many interior styles, from traditional to contemporary. The team at Nice Floor can help you find what you’re looking for! 

Durability and Longevity

LVT flooring is resistant to scratches, stains, dents, and moisture. Whether you have young children, pets, or just drop things a little too often, this flooring is a great choice to protect against such pressures. 

Common areas for LVT include high-traffic areas and rooms where spills could happen or humidity is common, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

The wear layer adds resistance against everyday wear and tear, so you can tread the tiles with peace of mind! 

Hardwood floors can suffer moisture damage and require frequent refinishing, while LVT needs low upkeep.

Water Resistance

Unlike hardwood or laminate, LVT is highly resistant to water damage. We recommend LVT for damp areas like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.

Also, synthetic materials in LVT can prevent the growth of bacteria and allergens, so you can keep your home healthier if you choose LVT from Nice Floors!

Comfort

Yes, style is important, but of course what also matters is comfort. You’ll be walking on the floor every day, after all! 

LVT flooring is comfortable underfoot compared to harder flooring options like tile or stone. 

Some LVT comes with built-in underlayment that reduces noise and adds to the overall comfort of the flooring. That’s useful for multi-level homes, apartments, or office spaces where sound transmission can be an issue.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Once you’ve made your LVT, the next step is installation. Luckily, this part is not hard. 

Interlocking click systems do not need glue or nails. Installation is quicker with less mess and hassle typically associated with traditional flooring methods.

Regular sweeping and occasional mopping keep these floors looking as good. Because LVT is resistant to stains and moisture, there is no need for constant upkeep or costly cleaning services.

If you need help with installation, reach out to us for professional installation services! 

Affordability

Part of why so many people are going with LVT is because of the affordability factor. 

While it looks like expensive materials like hardwood or stone, LVT is significantly more cost-effective. Durability and low maintenance costs also make for excellent value for homeowners on a budget.

For businesses, LVT can lend a high-end look without breaking the bank. Long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements saves money in the long run while still maintaining a professional appearance.

Nice Floors offers competitive prices on our large in-stock selection of LVT. We offer the best, at the best price! 

Where Can You Use LVT Flooring?

The short answer is, anywhere! 

LVT’s versatility means it can be used in nearly any room in your home or business.

Popular applications for LVT flooring:

  • Living Rooms & Bedrooms: Choose from wood-look planks for a classic look or opt for a sleek stone finish for a more contemporary design.
  • Kitchens & Bathrooms: For areas prone to moisture and spills, LVT won’t warp or swell.
  • Commercial Spaces: From offices to retail stores, LVT has a high-end look with minimal maintenance. Its durability makes it fit for high-traffic areas.
  • Basements & Laundry Rooms: LVT’s water-resistant properties are ideal for areas that are exposed to moisture or humidity.

Choosing the Right LVT for Your Home or Business

When selecting LVT flooring, there are several factors to consider to ensure you get the best results for your space:

  • Style and Design: Choose a design that complements the overall aesthetic of your space. LVT comes in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes.
  • Thickness and Wear Layer: For high-traffic areas, opt for thicker planks with a robust wear layer so that the floor stands up to daily use.
  • Acoustic Properties: If sound insulation is important in your space, look for LVT options that come with a built-in underlayment or consider adding one during installation.
  • Brand Reputation: Choose a trusted brand like Nice Floors that offers high-quality LVT flooring backed by excellent customer service and warranties.
