Luxury vinyl plank vs. luxury vinyl tile: the difference?

0 Comments

The only difference between luxury vinyl plank flooring or tile is style. Both of these are forms of luxury vinyl (LVF). With LVF, the vinyl is cut into long strips and mounted on boards to mimic hardwood or into groutable squares to echo ceramic tile or stone, called LVT flooring.

Great Value for your decorating dollar!

When you explore luxury vinyl flooring in St. Louis, MO., you will find that this product offers high worth, including:

  1. High-endstyle with images inspired by nature. Photographs of wood, stone,and tile are taken with 3D photography, so they’re clear and vibrantwith features such as micro beveling and embossing to add depth,dimension, and textured looks. So whether you want to add a highgloss finish to your wood-look floor or create a high-end spaatmosphere in your bath with marble-look floors, you’re only limitedby your imagination. The squares can be mixed and matched to createyour distinctive tile design.
  2. Affordability.Even some flooring experts have trouble discerning that from genuinematerials, but you’ll know; you won’t pay nearly the same price asyou would for natural wood or stone!
  3. Completewaterproof. When something is waterproof, it’s made up of waterproofmaterials, in this case, vinyl. LVF can be submerged or spilled onand still be okay. Water-resistant means it will repel for a shortwhile but, unless wiped immediately, will soak through.

A kid-and-pet-friendly product

This is a multi-layered product and five times thicker than original vinyl, with a top clear, strong melamine coating that protects the floor from scratches and scuffs.

Any LVF is low maintenance, needing only regular sweeping and periodic mopping. Installation is also easy, especially when a floating floor where the pieces click together, mat, then hover over a clean, dry, and level subfloor without nails or glue.

Champion floor company did an amazing job with the floors in my 120 year old home. The floors did have some damage and they managed to make them look beautiful. They were so easy to work with, they answered all my questions, were professional and treated both myself and my home with respect. I would highly recommend this company .

Recently had carpet replaced in my family room. Champion was the only company willing to work within my time frame. I am a bit of a tough customer and expect a square job for my dollar and Champion exceeded those expectations. The installer was incredible and really put in the effort with the details to complete a perfect job. I could not be more impressed with this new carpet. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The best people to work with. They help from the beginning to end and then make sure you're happy. Kim is so helpful and her installation staff is great to work with. I will only shop here for flooring.

The floor project on our new home turned out GREAT! … but, not a surprise. Champion Floor Company did two other great jobs on our current home over the last few years, so we knew we had chosen wisely. A few things we really appreciate: 1. Ralph assessed the job and a fair bid was created — all in a timely manner. 2. Mike called to schedule; sent an email and stuck to it. 3. Saib led the work at the house, arriving on time each day, completing the estimated work, and communicating with us throughout the process. Champion Floor Company is fair, planful, reliable, and the resulting work is spectacular.
