Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury vinyl plank combines the look of hardwood with waterproof durability and everyday affordability — a stylish, worry-free choice
Look
Even to the trained eye, it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between luxury vinyl and hardwood or tile: a testament to its convincing emulation. Not only is the vinyl printed, it is also embossed with the texture of wood grain or stone.
Feel
When you run your hand across the product’s surface, you can feel the wood-grain or tile-like texture. Underfoot, it feels like you’re walking on real hardwood or tile, except as a bonus, you don’t get the harsh coolness of tile.
Performance
Luxury vinyl is 100% impermeable. Vinyl is a type of plastic, so it’s completely waterproof and impervious to water damage. Ultimately, luxury vinyl is a durable and well-wearing product that installs simply with little mess.
Choosing Luxury Vinyl Plank

Which Room?
Luxury vinyl works well in any room – anywhere you’d put hardwood or tile, you can put luxury vinyl. But as a waterproof, hard-surface floor covering, it is especially well-suited to high moisture areas like the kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. It also comes in floating floor or glue down format, making it equally well-suited to basements and condos.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury Vinyl Plank (“LVP” for short) emulates every detail of hardwood— the bevels between boards, the unique grain patterns, even small knots and blemishes that you can only see from up close. Luxury Vinyl Plank is available in styles that resemble all domestic wood species, most stain colours and most character grades.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Luxury Vinyl Tile (“LVT” for short) emulates tile. The glue down formats are especially convincing, since oftentimes they can be grouted just like real tile. Luxury Vinyl Tile has a wide variety of looks, ranging from glazed and patterned porcelain tile to rustic natural stone lookalikes.
Embossing
Modern embossing technologies are very impressive. By taking replica images of real hardwood, porcelain or stone tile and then imprinting those images onto pieces of vinyl with a 3D printer, luxury vinyl manufacturers have created viable alternatives to hardwood and tile that barely require an aesthetic compromise.
