What is Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring that is made up from multiple layers. The surface, or top of the flooring,
has a design layer which is an extremely high-quality representation of hardwood. The designs
are quite authentic and can help to transform any space without some of the drawbacks of a
natural product.
The design layer of luxury vinyl planks is topped with a transparent, protective coating with a built-in stain guard and scratch resistance. As a result, luxury vinyl flooring is durable and hardwearing, soft to walk on and even waterproof.

Luxury Vinyl Planks Are Waterproof
When you’ve got people walking in and out with wet shoes, pet accidents and kids spilling their
drinks, it’s important to have flooring that is waterproof. Vinyl flooring is known for being made
with 100% waterproof materials that are able to withstand water immersion. This makes it the
ideal flooring for bathrooms or damp locations like basements. We can’t stress this enough,
while luxury vinyl floors are waterproof, there is no such thing as a flood proof floor.
Other Benefits of Luxury Vinyl Floors
Since most luxury vinyl floors use a click-locking system to keep the planks together, it lends
itself to do-it-yourselfers. There are many different types of locking systems out there and
some are better than others. Talk to a Quantum Floors specialist who will be happy to explain
the differences to you.
Durability is a hallmark of luxury vinyl plank floors. They are designed to handle high-traffic areas (including commercial settings) and are scratch resistant, although not as scratch resistant as laminate floors.

Cleaning and Maintaining Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Depending on the texture of your luxury vinyl floor, you will find maintaining your floor easy. A
damp mop is often all that’s needed. As with any flooring, we recommend you stay away from
harsh chemical cleaners, as some may damage the finish of your flooring.
