Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) has been installed in commercial buildings for years, but now it’s finding its way into more and more homes. It looks like tile and is priced similarly, and both are waterproof and groutable vinyl tile, but there are big differences. If you’ve just got some small tears in your vinyl tile, here’s how to fix vinyl tile floors.
LVT is softer and feels warmer underfoot, which is especially nice in bathrooms. Ceramic is harder to scratch, however, LVT won’t crack if you drop your cast iron skillet. If a piece of LVT does get damaged, it’s much easier to replace. It has a lower profile, which makes it easier to work with around cabinets, existing door openings and transitions. LVT can be installed over some existing flooring and is far more DIY-friendly. If you’re looking to add luxury vinyl to other parts of the house, here’s how to install luxury plank flooring.
