Vinyl plank flooring in a Portland, OR home

What’s the difference between LVT and LVP flooring?


Both luxury vinyl tile and plank offer benefits that will serve you well for years. From beauty to durability to lifespan, these floors offer something for everyone.

We're often asked what the difference is between the two products, and it's a feasible question. So here are some facts to help with the choice.

Formats of luxury vinyl flooring


Luxury vinyl comes in two distinct formats: tile and plank. So naturally, you'll want to choose the best one for your specific requirements and preferences.

The all-natural visual schemes, such as tile, stone, and hardwood, make the formats come alive, especially with specific LVT and LVP flooring layouts. You can even add authentic grout lines in tile formats for outstanding realism.

Great benefits in both 


Aside from the format, almost everything else is the same between these two products. Both offer impressive visual appeal and durability that can help the materials last up to 20 years.

They're 100% waterproof for your complete peace of mind, so install them anywhere in your home with complete confidence. You'll even enjoy a quick and easy installation, with most taking only a day.

Luxury vinyl tile and plank floors are easy to clean, and you can clean most messes with a broom and damp mop. If you'd like to learn more about these materials and their differences, stop by our showrooms at your convenience.
