Luxury Vinyl Flooring Guide

Luxury Vinyl Flooring Store in Marion, Iowa

 

Carpet King Carpet One Floor & Home in Marion, Iowa, has the flooring you need for your home. Luxury vinyl flooring is a fast-growing category in the flooring market. Luxury vinyl is a combination of the natural look of hardwood or stone with the premium performance you expect from a resilient flooring option. Your design preferences and durability requirements are met and exceeded with luxury vinyl.

 

Unlike hardwood or stone, luxury vinyl is made from synthetic materials that give it durability. Luxury vinyl is made from a multi-layer construction, so it provides dimensional stability. The wear layer of luxury vinyl is where it gets its resistance to scratches and scuffs and can handle spills and stains. Unlike hardwood or stone, luxury vinyl will never chip, crack, or warp. It’s a great kid-friendly and pet-friendly flooring option for busy households, as well as business spaces.

 

What Are the Different Types of Luxury Vinyl Flooring?

Luxury vinyl is a fast-growing flooring category, and there are many types of luxury vinyl to choose from. The two most popular are vinyl planks and vinyl tiles.

 

 

What Is Vinyl Tile Flooring?

Luxury vinyl tile flooring is a durable alternative to ceramic and porcelain tile. They are easy to clean, easy to replace when needed, and feature slip-resistant surfaces. Vinyl tiles are softer, warmer, and easier to stand on for long periods of time, which is useful in areas like the kitchen. Vinyl floor tiles are also less likely to crack and chip than real tile, and you don’t have to worry about the grout crumbling or staining over time. We also have options with integrated grout lines that look real, but make the installation process easier.

 

What Is Vinyl Plank Flooring?

If you love the look of hardwood but want a low-maintenance floor, luxury vinyl planks are perfect for you. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is a durable alternative to hardwood and laminate. The planks are resistant to moisture and wear, and will never expand or contract due to changes in moisture or humidity. Luxury vinyl planks are more economical than real hardwood and if you like the extra wide plank trend, vinyl is usually better because it’s much less likely to buckle and warp.

 

Waterproof Vinyl Flooring for Marion, IA

Luxury vinyl is made to be water resistant and can handle moderate levels of moisture, like in your kitchen. There are options that are totally waterproof like Invincible™ H2O. These floors provide both dimensional stability and peace of mind throughout your home.

 

Why Choose Waterproof Vinyl Flooring?

We offer a full range of waterproof flooring options, including waterproof vinyl. Unlike water-resistant flooring, waterproof vinyl floors are 100% moisture protected. They have a fast-drying surface that locks moisture out and is also easy to clean, stain-resistant, and non-porous. Additionally, waterproof floors have a specialized construction that protects the planks and tiles from warping in humidity. This is in contrast to natural wood, which tends to swell, cup, and buckle in high-moisture settings. Waterproof vinyl planks and tiles are also installed using watertight seams.

 

Where Can Luxury Vinyl Flooring Be Installed?

Luxury vinyl differs from hardwood and stone and can be installed in several different rooms in your home. Luxury vinyl can resist heavy foot traffic, humid conditions, and support heavy appliances. Some of our favorite places to install vinyl flooring include:
