vinyl INSPIRATION

Explore luxury vinyl flooring textures that deliver realistic surface visual and depth. Look for hand-scraped, embossed, or distressed textures for wood-look planks, or subtle veining and natural imperfections for stone-look tiles.

A high-resolution design layer is where the image of wood or stone is printed on the vinyl itself. Higher quality luxury vinyl from industry-leading manufacturers will have more detail and help you capture the latest trends easier.

You will find greater pattern variation when you invest in luxury vinyl styles from the top vinyl brands. Look for products that offer a wider variety of unique patterns within a box to avoid a "manufactured" look.

Larger size formats effectively mimic the rich appeal of natural materials, showcasing more authentic details and creating a more spacious and cohesive look. Extra-long planks and wider planks can make smaller spaces feel larger.

You can also explore luxury vinyl options with micro-bevels or painted bevels on the edges to help define individual pieces, just like real hardwood or stone, enhancing the overall realism of the finished floor.

While not directly visible, a luxury vinyl construction with a high-quality core and premium wear layer contributes to the durability and longevity of the flooring, ensuring it maintains its realistic appearance over time.

A high-quality underlayment will help absorb any hollow sounds of a floating floor, add cushioning, and act as a moisture barrier, all of which contribute to a more substantial and authentic feel underfoot.
