WHAT IS THERE TO KNOW ABOUT VINYL FLOORING
Vinyl is made of durable synthetic material that is waterproof or resistant and appropriate for homes & businesses. Affordable, easy to install, and available in every size, shape, color, style & pattern, vinyl mimics the look of fine hardwood, stone or ceramic tile.
LVT Construction
Luxury vinyl tiles and planks have four layers. From bottom to top:
1. Backing: creates a waterproof barrier to protect the floor from warping
2. Inner Core: high-density fiberboard that provides stability, durability and sound absorption
3. Decorative layer: this layer mimics the look of natural flooring materials
4. Wear layer: clear top layer that protects the floor from wear and tear
