How durable is luxury vinyl flooring?

For decades, kitchens and bathrooms have been covered with vinyl flooring. You know you have the best vinyl when it comes with a lifetime warranty. It is a waterproof material so that it can go into any room in your house.

Characteristics

Luxury vinyl flooring is attractive, stain, and scratch-resistant. It's easy to clean and fits into any budget. Thicker luxury vinyl can come in planks and tiles that mimic hardwood, stone, and tile. Luxury vinyl is composed of multiple vinyl layers. There is a surface wear layer that protects the design layer. The most durable brands have very thick wear layers, and some have a coating on the top of the wear layer that adds even more protection.

Waterproof

Vinyl flooring that comes in sheets can be cut perfectly to fit a small room. Another vinyl flooring comes in planks and tiles. It has few seams, so water and liquid are not going to seep into the subfloor. The core layer for vinyl is made of PVC, which is a standard construction material. PVC is completely waterproof, so the core will not peel, ripple, or warp when exposed to water or liquids. This means that luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile are entirely waterproof. LVP and LVT can be placed with a tongue in a groove setting that completely seals the subfloor from the upper floor.
