Luxury Vinyl Plank
According to thespruce.com, “At its heart, plank vinyl floor, also called luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury vinyl tile (LVT), is simply vinyl flooring that comes in long, narrow strips rather than the traditional square tile shapes. But structurally this is a different product. Sheet vinyl is generally flexible vinyl with a printed top layer covered by a clear wear layer-The higher the wear layer the more protection from scratching, while vinyl plank flooring is a multi-ply product that features four layersA topmost layer of aluminum oxide, designed to prevent light scratching and scuffs
  • A clear film layer that protects against more severe ripping and tearing
  • A design layer that provides the photo-realistic look of wood or stone
  • A backing layer made of fairly rigid vinyl, comprising almost 90 percent of the total thickness of luxury vinyl”
