An expansive category with many different incarnations, vinyl refers to a synthetic material made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is cost-effective and very durable. Homogenous sheets are a premium long-lasting product with a uniform material throughout its thickness, making it ideal for high-traffic. Heterogeneous sheets are made of different layers, thus providing design variability. Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) provides the look of real wood, stone, or ceramic. Woven Vinyl tile (WVT) uses a vinyl textile to create the look and texture of a woven material.
A vinyl flooring made of multiple thin sheets pressed together with a printed top layer. Heterogeneous vinyl flooring offers a low-cost, low-maintenance option with the durability of vinyl and a great variety of design and color options.
A dense, single-layer vinyl flooring product. Homogeneous sheets combine the durability, stain-resistance, and water-resistance of vinyl with the superior aesthetic of a uniform sheet. Homogeneous sheets offer an unparalleled depth of color as well as enhanced resistance to fading and scuffing.
A premium flooring product, LVT uses a high quality print film to effectively mimic the look of hard surface flooring like wood or stone.
