Luxury vinyl flooring is a durable, waterproof floor with a hardwood or stone appearance, but the price is not high. Also known as LVT/LVP, luxury vinyl is composed of multiple layers that contribute to the design, durability and ease of maintenance of this excellent flooring choice. Luxurious vinyl is waterproof, making it an ideal choice for all rooms, especially kitchens and bathrooms. Due to its multiple layers, luxury vinyl can withstand humidity, heavy traffic, scratches and spills.
Many homeowners choose to install vinyl wood panels and tiles in damp-prone areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and mud rooms. Waterproof means that the floor can withstand local spills, pet accidents or moisture from rainy days. As long as you wipe off the spill quickly, the floors are fine, but don't expect them to withstand long-term spills, such as pipe leaks or bathtub spills. Waterproof means that the floor can not only withstand local spills, but it is also made of impermeable surfaces and materials. Generally, waterproof floors are also installed by locking mechanisms with tight joints.
