Differences between vinyl plank and tile

One of the things people like most about vinyl plank and vinyl tile (LVP and LVT), is that they so closely mimic natural flooring materials such as solid hardwood planks and ceramic and porcelain tile. They can even be created to resemble natural stone, such as marble, granite and so much more. The best part is that, while these materials look much like the real thing, you won't have to maintain them as relentlessly.

LVP is a great choice in homes where the homeowner would like to have solid wood, but it just isn't a feasible option for their lifestyle. For instance, basement homes, home where humidity changes are frequent, or residences that have more spills than normal, are prime candidates for this flooring.

This material comes in planks, usually 36 and 48 inches long. It makes it much easier to work with and install, as opposed to the 8 to 12 feet long planks that solid hardwood comes in. Widths vary quite a bit, from about six to eight inches, with six inches being more the normal size. With deep embossing of the design layer, you'll notice the authentic grainy texture right away.
