Is luxury vinyl flooring durable?

Luxury vinyl is a good substitute for the flooring materials it imitates. It's attractive and versatile as well as long-lasting. Luxury vinyl tile looks like stone and ceramic tile, and luxury vinyl plank looks like hardwood. LVT and LVP stand up to heavy foot traffic. Its rugged construction, ability to tolerate water, and varied installation designs make the flooring covering appropriate for all home areas. The latest luxury vinyl styles are found at Brothers Flooring. We have a showroom in Spokane, Washington, and Post Falls, Idaho. 
 
Wear layer 
 
Low maintenance LVP and LVT are multiple layer synthetic floor coverings. The transparent wear layer that is found on the surface of the flooring determines durability. It's wise to choose a plank or tile with a 20-mil wear layer to protect the image layer. Once the pet-friendly surface layer is worn down, the flooring must be replaced.      
 
WPC and SPC 
 
Luxury vinyl flooring with a wood-plastic composite or a stone-plastic composite core layer above the backing layer is waterproof. A WPC core contains wood byproducts and a foaming agent. An SPC core is made up of limestone. WPC flooring is best for home applications, while almost indestructible SPC flooring is ideal for commercial applications, too. 
 
Methods of installation 
 
Each luxury vinyl product is designed for one of three installation methods. Most planks and some tiles interlock at the edges so a floating floor can be constructed; Glue-down brands contrast these 'no attachment to the subfloor' brands; Semi-permanent loose lay LVP and LVT brands butt together.
