What is LVT flooring made of?

LVT flooring is made from multiple layers of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) vinyl. This provides the flooring’s durability, water resistance, and flexibility. Each layer of our high-performance luxury vinyl flooring serves a distinct purpose, from the bottom vinyl layer to the middle stability layer, authentic printed decor layer, anti-scratch wear layer and protective UV coating. The result is a stable, durable, and stylish LVT floor you’ll love for years to come.

Is LVT better than laminate?

LVT generally outperforms laminate flooring. It’s more durable, waterproof, and offers a wider range of realistic designs. While LVT tends to be more expensive, its superior performance and longevity justify the higher cost. Laminate is a budget-friendly option that’s suitable for low-moisture areas, but it lacks the durability and water resistance of LVT flooring.
