Vinyl plank flooring in a Ft. Myers, FL kitchen

What?s the difference between luxury vinyl planks and regular vinyl?


Various products in the vinyl line, each with its characteristics and benefits, make it seem like a daunting task to pick the right one for your requirements. We want to address the difference between a vinyl plank and regular vinyl in this post, so follow along to find more information.

Luxury vinyl plank facts and more


Luxury vinyl plank, also known as LVP, differs from regular vinyl in a few ways. One of the most visible is the dimension ratio, which differentiates the two.

LVP features an authentic appearance in size and format, often requires no adhesives for installation, has a thick, rigid construction, and provides more than 25 years of lifespan with proper installation and maintenance. It is used in extensive residential settings and takes a prestigious place in high-end homes and commercial locations.

Regular vinyl is viewed as a bargain product, comes in either roll format or square tiles, requires adhesives for every installation, and is much thinner than LVP. This offers a lifespan that can average ten to fifteen years and have a wide variety of appearance options.

Both materials work well in spaces that require waterproofing, and the same cleaning methods are used for both. Neither requires waxing, which dulls these appearances, and both are installed quickly and easily.
