What is LVP and LVT Flooring?

Born from regular vinyl tiles, LVP and LVT Flooring is constructed of 3 layers, and each have a purpose to achieve the desired color and texture results. The first layer is called the wear layer, and it absorbs all of the scuffs and scratches, while resisting stains, without compromising the design or function of the tile.The second layer is the printed design layer that offers the actual ceramic or stone visual that makes them look so real. The third layer is the tile backing which adds structural strength, integrity and the durability that is expected in every vinyl tile.

Together, all three layers make up the basis of an LVT &LVP flooring tile, which are considered the most innovative, the highest-performing and the most versatile tile available today.
