Luxury Vinyl
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) or Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) has incredible hardwood floor, ceramic tile, or natural stone visuals. These products are much thicker (5mm up to 12mm) than traditional sheet vinyl floors (2mm) and can usually be installed over existing floors where sheet vinyl would most likely need a new subfloor.
Laminate flooring is similar to luxury vinyl planks in its look and method of installation. The critical difference is that its core is made from wood byproducts bonded with resins. The top surface is a hard, transparent plastic wear layer that covers the printed design layer.
What is luxury vinyl made of?
LVT is made of plastic with an image of wood on the surface. The primary components of vinyl floor coverings include polyvinyl chloride (or vinyl) resins, plasticizers (high molecular-weight solvents), pigments and trace stabilizers, and a carrier sheet or backing.

Laminate flooring

What is the difference vinyl and laminate flooring?
Laminate and vinyl planks feature plastic design and wear layers. But vinyl planks also have plastic cores, while laminate cores are made from wood composites.

Hardwood
A wood will be classified as a hardwood if the seeds produced by the tree have a coating. This coating may be in the form of a fruit or shell. A wood will be classified as softwood if the seeds have no coating and are left to fall to the ground and weather.
What are the characteristics of hardwood?
– Longevity: Hardwood produces a very high quality product that offers great durability over time.
– Easy maintenance: Hardwood is easy to clean, and scratches and dents can be fixed.
