Hardwood flooring has long been considered a classic favorite for all types of decorating styles. That is, in large part, because it’s expensive — both to purchase and install. It also requires a significant amount of maintenance, because although it’s a lot easier than carpet, hardwood flooring is prone to damage from scratching, scuffing, and water damage. Real wood flooring in humid environments can warp and crack, even if it never gets wet. It’s truly a mark of luxury and opulence, but how can you enjoy the beauty and warmth of real wood without the hassle and expense? MSI Luxury Vinyl Plank floors are the answer.

Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) are relatively new arrivals in the flooring market, and are soaring in popularity. That’s because they allow homeowners to have the luxury and long-lasting durability of natural hardwood without the concerns mentioned above — warping, cracking, scratching, and scuffing. LVT is a fraction of the price of real hardwood, and many types are easy DIY projects allowing you to eliminate the cost of installation as well. Also, Luxury Vinyl Planks Care & Maintenance is easier than many alternative types of flooring.

There are different types of LVT to choose from, so how do you know which is best for the installation you have in mind? The difference between Luxury Vinyl Plank and Luxury Vinyl Tile is minor – all of it is considered LVT, though LVT is also available in square- or rectangular-shaped stone looks. The term LVP describes wood-look planks, some of our most popular products. Read on to find out more about MSI’s LVP options.

Best for Kitchens and Bathrooms

BEMBRIDGE LUXURY VINYL PLANKS

One of the best benefits of Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring is that it’s totally waterproof. That said, if you need serious protection against water damage in areas prone to splashes or even standing water, LVT Everlife is an excellent choice. Bembridge luxury vinyl planks from the Cyrus series feature a mixture of gray and dark brown in a high-variation pattern that appears worn and rustic. It is 5 mm thick, with a 12-mil wear layer. A 1-mm waterproof backing is already attached — this helps absorb sound and gives it an extra warm feel underfoot.

WHITFIELD GRAY LUXURY VINYL PLANKS

Whitfield Gray LVT from the Cyrus XL series features a light shade of gray with subtle knots and grain patterns. This elegant flooring also offers an additional touch of luxury — enhanced beveled edges. These give the planks extra contrast and dimension, so they look even more like real, natural hardwood flooring. Despite its realistic look, you can install it in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas prone to wet conditions without worrying about water damage because it is 100% waterproof.

Best for Scratch and Stain Resistance

AVERY ASH HYBRID RIGID CORE FLOORING

Rooms that get a lot of foot traffic need tough, durable flooring such as Avery Ash, which features a soft shade of gray with subtle grains and knots. This is especially important for busy families with kids and pets, because it’s excellent at resisting damages from scratches, scuffs, and stains. Like other types of LVT flooring, Avery Ash is totally water resistant— and anyone with pets knows how welcome that feature is! It is made with a CrystaLux Ultra wear layer that provides 50% improved scratch protection over ordinary vinyl flooring.

BROCKTON HYBRID RIGID CORE FLOORING
