LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile / Plank)

Multi-layer waterproof vinyl flooring that reads as wood or stone, with strong moisture and wear resistance.

Definition

What lvt (luxury vinyl tile / plank) actually means.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (or Plank — LVP) is a multi-layer vinyl flooring product with a printed visual layer (wood, stone, or pattern) under a clear wear layer. The product is fully waterproof, dimensionally stable in North Georgia humidity, and significantly cheaper than equivalent-looking natural materials. LVT is increasingly the default flooring for bathrooms, mudrooms, basements, and rental-grade installations where moisture and durability matter.
