Luxury vinyl flooring is a man-made hard flooring option which is designed to mimic the look of natural wood. They are go-to-flooring for commercial designers and industrial fit outs as an alternative to tiled and hardwood floors. There are three types of luxury vinyl flooring available in the market i.e., luxury vinyl planks, tiles and sheets.
Luxury vinyl planks are can mimic the look of wood flooring and are often used by homeowners trying to replicate hardwood. Whereas, luxury vinyl tiles replicate an intricate pattern similar to what we find in tile (usually stone). And luxury vinyl sheets are commonly used in commercial areas subject to high-level of moisture. At Wood4Floors, we have the latest addition to luxury vinyl flooring known as Rigid Core Waterproof planks (RCWP). These durable, waterproof, dent and scratch resistant floorings are perfect for domestic as well as for commercial use.
Luxury vinyl floorings are often sold as being waterproof. However, on some of these products, water shouldn’t be left standing as it can penetrate through the tiny gaps between planks. This won’t be an issue if you are planning to install luxury vinyl in bedroom or living space. But if you are considering to install them in near showers, kitchen or laundry rooms. You must choose Rigid Core Waterproof Planks as they are 100% waterproof and can be installed in any room, including wet rooms.

RCWP have very low VOC emissions, plasticizer free core and are 100% recyclable. This is something that many luxury vinyl floors fail to offer. As a result, luxury vinyl has a very short lifespan. On the other hand, RCWP gives life-time warranty for domestic use and 25 years of warranty for commercial use.
