What is the lifespan of luxury vinyl flooring?

Choose a high-quality luxury vinyl tile or plank brand, and you'll be pleased with the longevity of your new floor. What's more, you can expect your luxury vinyl flooring to keep its brand-new look for years to come. 

Tough material 

Luxury vinyl is a tough, easy-to-maintain material with all the qualities a homeowner looks for when shopping for flooring: good looks, versatility, budget-friendly price, and resistance to stains and abrasion. 

Since pet-friendly brands are highly stain-resistant, they are an excellent choice for active households. In addition, textured brands have the most realistic look.

Good looks

Multiple-layer luxury vinyl tile simulates the look of natural stones like marble, granite, and wood, while vinyl plank flooring imitates hardwood species like oak and ash. 

The wear layer is designed to protect the high-tech image layer, and thus, thicker is better. Your new floor will last as long as 30 years if you opt for a plank or tile with a 20-mil wear layer. 

Important factors

Two essential factors ensure that your tile or vinyl plank flooring will enjoy a long lifespan. First, high-quality brands are waterproof or able to tolerate water for a lengthy period. 

Second, glue-down, floating floor, and loose lay styles are available, which means that if you live in a flood-prone area, you can remove a floor if you choose one of the latter two styles.
