Luxury vinyl flooring brings smart and stylish solutions for everyday flooring dilemmas as it works well in many different settings. Made to resemble natural hardwood, tile, and stone, these floors have major advantages over other flooring types. Using advanced printing technologies for realistic surface visuals and textures, luxury vinyl is affordable, simple to care for, and exceptionally tough.
At FDW Carpet One Floor & Home in Crystal Lake, IL, we’re the region’s most trusted luxury vinyl flooring source. Backed by the demands of home and business owners, luxury vinyl flooring has many impressive perks, including stain, wear, and water-resistance.
Thinking of luxury vinyl flooring for your home or business? Here are some things you might like to know.
Luxury vinyl flooring comes in two main types: planks and tiles.
Luxury vinyl flooring is much easier to maintain than its natural wood and stone counterparts. It resists spills and stains without any special treatment or finishes, so only routine sweeping, and an occasional mopping is necessary.
Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring looks like your favorite hardwood planks. It flawlessly captures the beauty of maple, oak, hickory, birch, pine, mahogany, cherry, and other prized hardwood types. Plus, these planks are available in extra wide options, multiple lengths, multiple tones, and even with textured surfaces that match the grain patterns. There are an endless amount of creative flooring looks you can create for an affordable cost and with very little upkeep.
Luxury Vinyl Tile Floors are much more crack and chip resistant than their natural counterparts. They can handle the occasional dropped plate or glass, along with heavy foot traffic and other wear and tear. You also won’t need to worry about the grout staining or crumbling. Most vinyl products today have a urethane-based surface that’s highly scratch and dent-resistant. The thicker the wear layer, the stronger the floor is usually. On top of their durability, we have vinyl tiles with cushioned underlayment. This improves insulation and makes the floor more comfortable to stand on. It also helps absorb noises like pet claws and footsteps.
Sheet vinyl is a very affordable alternative to natural stone or wood: perfect fpr rooms like as kitchens or bathrooms.
Sheet vinyl flooring has layered construction that provides stability, comfort, and a protective layer for durability. When most people think of sheet vinyl, they think of outdated products.
However, the fact is that sheet vinyl has seen several improvements over the years and features more realistic visuals than ever. Because sheet vinyl comes in 6 and 12-foot-wide rolls, the installation is usually seamless and smooth.
All luxury vinyl flooring will resist moisture, but only certain options are genuinely waterproof.
Waterproof luxury vinyl has a sturdy, protective top coat that traps spills on the surface, as well as a reinforced core preventing even the most stubborn splashes from seeping into your subfloor. The planks or tiles also won’t warp when exposed to humidity.
This type of vinyl flooring can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where spills are inevitable. It’s also a good kid and pet-friendly flooring choice.
Most luxury vinyl flooring has a glueless installation process.
This installation option, which is usually called a clicklock or floating floor method, is relatively quick and easy. It also makes the floor simple to repair and replace down the line.
How does this installation method work? The vinyl planks or tiles will perfectly attach and remain in place over the subfloor, almost like a puzzle. We also offer glue-down vinyl installations, which is particularly suited for high-traffic, moisture-prone spaces.
Offering affordable and long-lasting performance, luxury vinyl is made to manage even the most challenging interiors.
For all these reasons and more, the right type of luxury vinyl flooring can be installed virtually anywhere. Rigid core vinyl is often chosen for commercial settings and there are plenty of styles, patterns, textures, and colors to choose from, making it easy to fit in into any setting that comes to mind.
