Flexible Luxury Vinyl Tile and Planks

Flexible luxury vinyl tile and planks come in 6- or 7-inch by 48-inch planks and 12-inch by 18-inch squares, as well as rectangles.

Flexible vinyl tile and planks can be as thin as 2mm, or four times thinner than rigid core vinyl floor covering. Some of these boards do have click-and-lock joinery, but their thinness can create joint instability. So, glue-down flexible vinyl flooring is more the norm. This allows for larger expanses of flooring without pull-up or shifting.

Though flexible vinyl flooring is thinner than rigid core, its prices run commensurate with the thickness: 2mm flooring can be up to four times cheaper than 8mm rigid core flooring.

Though economy and strength are the merits of flexible vinyl flooring, it’s important to remember that flexible vinyl tile and planks aren’t as deeply textured as the thicker boards; there simply isn’t enough material to embossing and aren’t interested in glue-down flooring. Due to its four- or five-layer construction, rigid core resilient flooring works well on cold sub-floors. Also, the thick construction allows for deeper embossing, for more realistic wood- or stone-like textures.

Easy to clean, tough, and good for homes with pets, rigid core luxury vinyl is a multi-purpose flooring product that fits especially well in water-prone spaces like bathrooms and kitchens.
