Modern Luxury Vinyl Flooring in Austin, TX
Luxury vinyl flooring, is a modern type of flooring that has the look of wood or natural stone.

Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) are among some of the most popular flooring solutions today.

Waterproof flooring 101
In every household, leaks happen without warning. Spring leaks in pipes and equipment; splashes of water from sinks and raindrops – and that’s exactly what you see. If the liquid is left standing for too long, it can ruin hard surfaces and cause harmful mold to form. Liquid can seep into boards on most hard surfaces and warp them. This is irreversible damage that also leads to unpleasant mold. Finding the means to treat such floor damage can be a headache, to say the least.
With waterproof luxury vinyl, all worries are gone. Waterproof floors are a durable hard surface that can withstand moisture and daily wear and tear – and look good at the same time. Beneath the surface layers, these floors have a rigid core of materials that prevent warping or bending due to moisture. The top wear layer is non-scratch, so they can withstand daily scratches from traffic, furniture and your pet’s claws. Visually, waterproof floors are beautiful to look at. They have a very realistic wood and stone look and are available in a wide range of colors to suit all rooms and interior styles.
In addition, these floors are easy to install, clean and maintain. They are available in adhesive or adhesive options, so you can install them anywhere in your home. They are ideal for active households and work exceptionally well in humid spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms and basements. When you invest in waterproof flooring, you get more than a room upgrade. You’ll have peace of mind knowing they’ll stop scratches, minor spills – or worse. Let life go on.
When shopping for waterproof flooring, you may hear a few abbreviations like LVP, WPC and SPC. What do they think?
- LVP (Luxury Vinyl Flooring) – the original and most common type in the category of waterproof flooring. It is a simple and durable floor that contains a flexible vinyl PVC core. The top layers of each board feature a stunning high-definition image that gives it the look of realistic wood or stone, as well as a wear layer to protect against scratches. LVP is easy to install and can be snapped or glued to a flat surface. Once installed, LVP is easy to maintain with a simple sweep or wet mop.
- WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) – a thicker and stronger alternative to LVP. WPC is designed as a floating floor, so it does not need to be glued; it can be installed directly on top of the existing floor. WPC has four main layers that increase durability, comfort and protection. The top layers are almost the same as LVP and this is a great option if you can’t or don’t want to glue the floor.
- SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) – the newest member of the waterproof product family, SPC is even stiffer and denser than WPC thanks to a core layer made of stone dust. This floor can be floated over any existing floor and offers many installation options. Like WPC, the top layers have both a vinyl surface for the perfect wood or stone look – and a clear wearable layer to protect against scratches and stains. Overall, waterproof vinyl flooring is an excellent choice for very active and busy households. They are durable and can withstand daily wear and tear, maintaining their beauty – and protecting your investment.
