What is LVT & LVP?
LVT & LVP are shorthand for Luxury Vinyl Tile and Luxury Vinyl Plank, respectively. With LVT & LVP you get the look of real wood, stone, and tile with the features and benefits of vinyl. They are a composite product usually comprised of multiple layers. These layers are then laminated together to create the complete plank/tile. LVT & LVP is easy to install and maintain compared to other types of flooring. It also contains a decorative print film, allowing for endless design possibilities!
