Luxury vinyl flooring is a stylish, practical solution for all kinds of spaces. Designed to look like natural hardwood, tile, or stone, it offers some significant advantages over other types of flooring. Thanks to advanced printing technology, luxury vinyl looks incredibly real, is super durable, easy to maintain, and doesn’t break the bank. We're proud to be your go-to spot for luxury vinyl flooring at FDW Carpet One Floor & Home in Crystal Lake, IL. Thinking about upgrading your home or business? Here’s what you need to know!
Luxury vinyl flooring is a versatile and practical choice, available in two main styles: planks and tiles. Unlike natural wood or stone, luxury vinyl is remarkably low-maintenance, resisting spills and stains without special treatments or finishes. All it takes to keep your floors looking great is regular sweeping and occasional mopping.
Designed to mimic the beauty of hardwood, luxury vinyl planks perfectly capture the charm of popular wood types like maple, oak, hickory, birch, pine, mahogany, and cherry. These planks come in various options, including extra-wide formats, multiple lengths, and a wide range of tones. Some even feature textured surfaces that replicate the natural grain patterns of wood. With so many design possibilities, you can create stunning and unique flooring looks at an affordable cost, all with minimal upkeep.
Luxury vinyl tiles are a durable alternative to traditional tile, offering superior resistance to cracks and chips. They can withstand heavy foot traffic, occasional dropped items, and everyday wear and tear while maintaining their appearance. Unlike traditional tile flooring, you won’t have to worry about grout crumbling or staining. Most luxury vinyl tiles feature a urethane-based surface, making them highly resistant to scratches and dents. Thicker wear layers provide added durability. Additionally, many vinyl tiles include cushioned underlayment for improved insulation, added comfort underfoot, and better noise absorption, reducing the sound of footsteps or pet claws.
Sheet vinyl is a very affordable alternative to natural stone or wood: perfect for rooms such as kitchens or bathrooms. Sheet vinyl flooring has a layered construction that provides stability, comfort, and a protective layer for durability. When most people think of sheet vinyl, they think of outdated products. However, sheet vinyl has seen several improvements over the years and features more realistic visuals than ever. Because sheet vinyl comes in 6 and 12-foot-wide rolls, the installation is usually seamless and smooth.
All luxury vinyl flooring will resist moisture, but only specific options are fully waterproof. Waterproof luxury vinyl has a sturdy, protective top coat that traps spills on the surface, as well as a reinforced core that prevents even the most stubborn splashes from seeping into your subfloor. The planks or tiles also won’t warp when exposed to humidity. This vinyl flooring can be installed in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where spills are inevitable. It’s also a good, kid- and pet-friendly flooring choice.
Most luxury vinyl flooring features a glueless professional installation process, often called a click lock or floating floor method, which is quick, easy, and allows for simple repairs or replacements in the future. This method works by seamlessly fitting the vinyl planks or tiles together, staying securely in place over the subfloor like a puzzle. Glue-down vinyl installation is also available for high-traffic or moisture-prone areas, offering added durability. Luxury vinyl is designed for affordability and long-lasting performance, making it suitable for even the most challenging interiors. From commercial spaces to residential settings, rigid core vinyl is a popular choice thanks to its variety of styles, patterns, textures, and colors, allowing it to seamlessly fit into any design.
