Three things to know about luxury vinyl flooring

Its appearance is high-end, and its lifespan is long, so it is no surprise that luxury vinyl flooring continues to increase in popularity.

This durable flooring material is installed in any home space, and once it is installed, it adapts to the homeowner's needs.

Beno's Flooring offers a wide selection of vinyl flooring in North Las Vegas, NV, as well as in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

1. A luxury vinyl plank or tile often mimics natural flooring materials and comprises four layers.

When you shop at Beno's Flooring, you can closely inspect luxury vinyl tile and plank brands to see the four layers that are bonded together to construct the flooring.

The transparent wear layer protects the wood, stone, or ceramic image layer, while the backing layer supports and protects the core layer. In addition, some brands include an extra protective surface coating.

2. The wear layer determines luxury vinyl flooring durability.

Your new floors will last 25 years or more if you choose a plank or tile that has a thick 20-mil wear layer to protect the image layer from stains, abrasion, and daily wear.

Tough luxury vinyl flooring is a good choice if children and pets are part of the household, especially since it needs nothing beyond routine sweeping and mopping to maintain a like-new appearance.

3. The best vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring are waterproof.

If you choose a high-quality vinyl plank or tile that has a thick wear layer, undoubtedly, it will be waterproof, too.

Planks and tiles that repel water have a wood plastic composite (WPC) or a stone plastic composite (SPC) core, which means the flooring won't change shape, warp, or buckle, even when exposed to standing water. Instead, opt for a floating floor or glue-down installation.
