Here at Redeemed Customs of Central Florida, we strive for excellence when it comes to delivering quality results to our friends and customers. In order to ensure that our customers get the best out of the flooring that they call us into their home to install, we have decided to answer the following question. "WHAT IS LUXURY VYNIL TILE? (LVT)
Luxury Vinyl Tile surely is turning a whole lot of heads in the flooring industry. This product is a harder type of flooring, with a wide range of design options, mimicking the look of natural stone or wood flooring, without the extensive installation or maintenance costs that usually associated with the either.
It takes several layers to make up all LVT products.
1) "The Wear Layer is simply a polyurethane coating, this plays a crucial roll in the lifespan of your tiles. Substances such as Aluminum Oxide (Clear Coating) will keep your flooring from rapidly wearing,
2) "The Print Film Layer" is the layer the finish is actually printed on. Premium types of LVT come manufactured with realistic, 3D visuals that can be installed to resemble ceramic or stone.
3) "The Vinyl Core" is exactly what it says, as it is the stability layer, the cushion. This is used for indentation resistance.
4) "Backing Layer" Sound absorbing layer with a textured grip. This takes the place of the underlayment that is typically needed to be installed when installing Laminate Flooring.
