Luxury vinyl: Explaining the trend

People are looking for value more than ever, and it would not be easy to find something that offers so many benefits for the decorating dollar. Luxury vinyl flooring addresses every conceivable need of the consumer.  

While all vinyl flooring is a beautiful way to transform your home stylishly and affordably, the luxury version is a newer, more advanced, and premium product. It's often a favorite among the designers of high-end restaurants, hotels, and offices, as well as the home.

Affordable style

At the Floor Specialists showroom, you'll see gorgeous wood, stone, and tile designs, all following the latest trends. For example, you will find Units by Armstrong, Halden by Earthwerks, or Studio Plus Plank by Metroflor–and that's just a tiny fraction of what you'll find at our company when you are shopping for luxury vinyl in Wellington, FL.

They come with embossing and micro beveling to add depth, dimension, and textured looks. Also, they can be cut into planks or tile-sized squares. Many tell us the extra seams add even more to the realism.

Durability for kids, pets, and the heaviest foot traffic

All vinyl is strong, but luxury vinyl flooring is layered and five times thicker than the original product. The top transparent melamine wear layer protects the floor from scratches and scuffs, while the urethane finish adds extra shine and protection. True LVF measures 8-mm to 12-mm in thickness; wear layers are separate, with the most robust being 20-mils.

Who has time (or the desire) to scrub floors?

Luxury vinyl flooring only needs regular sweeping and periodic mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner. Avoid waxy, shine-promoting cleaners as they can damage the finish and dull the floor. Even the toughest stains can be easily removed with a baking soda/water paste, lemon or diluted bleach, or rubbing alcohol.

It also has an uncomplicated installation, especially a floating floor where pieces click to mat and hover over the subfloor without adhesives.
