The question now is: luxury vinyl flooring or sheet vinyl? Both are great choices, but a few differences may influence your decision.
About sheet vinyl
Sheet vinyl is the original product, available in 12 or 13-foot wide rolls. It comprises layers including a fiberglass backing, a design sheet, and a top clear wear layer that protect the floor.?
Vinyl flooring ranges in thickness from 2 mm to 5 mm and comes with a water-resistant high-density fiberboard core. Over the years, design has evolved to include vibrant images of wood, stone, and tile.
Luxury vinyl flooring: a more advanced version
Rather than sheets, this is cut into square, tile-sized pieces called luxury vinyl tile (or LVT); they?re used mainly to mimic stone or ceramic tile looks.?
Alternatively, it can be cut into long strips to echo hardwood floorboards, which is called luxury vinyl plank (or LVP). Many tell us the extra seams add even more to the realism.?
It is embossed to add textured looks. Micro beveling adds depth and dimension.??

Other luxury vinyl flooring benefits

- Affordability. It's a premium product, yet easy on your wallet.
- Completely waterproof. Luxury vinyl flooring can be submerged or spilled on without water damage?and there's no need for immediate wiping! With luxury vinyl, it's all PVC, even the core. It's completely impenetrable to liquid.?
Like original vinyl?
Luxury vinyl flooring is low maintenance; only regular sweeping and periodic mopping is needed. It's installed via the glue-down or floating floor method.
