What is luxury vinyl tile (or LVT) flooring?

Luxury vinyl tile, which is also referred to as “LVT” flooring, is great if you have an active home with kids or pets, or just high-traffic areas you want to keep looking beautiful.

Many styles, including those offered at Armstrong Flooring, are also 100% waterproof, so when they are exposed to water they won’t swell, buckle or lose integrity.

Is luxury vinyl tile durable?

Luxury vinyl tile is built to endure the busiest homes. All of our LVT flooring at Armstrong Flooring is scratch, stain and wear resistant, and 100% waterproof.

What is the best luxury vinyl tile for durability?

Where in my home can I install luxury vinyl tile?

The wonderful combination of design options, easy installation and good value make luxury vinyl tile a flooring favorite for gathering spaces and utility areas, kitchens, mudrooms, bathrooms and playrooms. But its incredibly realistic and on-trend styles also mean this flooring type is becoming more and more popular in all rooms of the house. Living rooms and bedrooms included!

Luxury vinyl is not meant for stairs, but for any and all flat, level surfaces.

Is luxury vinyl tile an alternative to hardwood?

Yes! Homeowners especially love that you can get really authentic looking wood styles, and have them be durable enough for rooms where moisture can be a concern. Where hardwood is not recommended for installation in bathrooms and laundry rooms, LVT flooring is waterproof so it makes a great (and great looking) flooring for those areas.
