Luxury Vinyl Plank & Tile -
Thinking about how to handle major foot traffic?
Truly an amazing product; looks like wood, wears like tile and almost as quiet at carpet.
These floors can be glued down, or they can be floated. Individual tiles and planks can be clicked together and then installed without glue,
to float on special underlayment. Floating floors can cover up minor imperfections in the subfloor during a renovation. Luxury vinyl is thinner than
hardwood, and thinner than stone or ceramic tile installed on the required underlayment.
In a remodel, it's easier to match a thinner product to the level of the surrounding existing floors. It's softer under foot than tile, and stands up to spills and large pets better than hardwood. One huge advantage for luxury vinyl is that it isn't damaged by moisture. You can soak it in the bathtub and it won't swell or buckle, he said. There's no wood inside.
