Luxury Vinyl Tile and Plank (LVT and LVP) flooring has been popular for several years as a smart option both in new construction and in existing buildings, but to get the best performance throughout its lifespan, it needs to be sealed with a high-quality finish that resists physical and chemical abuse.

Originally introduced in the 1970's, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) and Luxury Plank Tile (LVP) are individual easy-to-install vinyl tiles or planks that mimic natural materials such as wood and stone. They were designed to serve as an aesthetic upgrade to traditional water-resistant sheet vinyl and are available in several tile sizes with a seemingly limitless number of varying patterns and textures. With proper installation and care, luxury vinyl is an economical, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly option for schools, medical facilities, hotels, homes, and commercial settings. However, whether it comes with a factory finish or not, it will eventually need protection from physical and chemical damage.
