LVT vs. LVP

LVT comes in rectangular or square shapes and mimics the look of stone or ceramic tiles. During installation, the tiles are either glued down or use the floating method. LVT is commonly used in bathrooms or kitchens where stone tiles are traditionally seen.

LVP resembles hardwood planks and mimics several wood types, patterns and textures. Planks are installed using a floating method without adhesive. LVP is used in spaces where hardwood flooring is desired but cannot be used due to moisture.

Choosing Porcelain Tile

Porcelain tile is more durable than standard ceramic tile since it’s manufactured using higher temperatures. Porcelain is heavier than ceramic, more difficult to install and more expensive. The tiles cost anywhere from $3-$30 per square foot. However, porcelain can last for more than 50 years and, if damaged, can be replaced individually rather than replacing the whole room – saving you money in the long run.

Benefits of Porcelain Tile

  • 1. Resistant to Wear & Tear

    Porcelain lasts longer than ceramic tile because it has fewer air pockets. The tiles are waterproof and scratch-resistant.

  • 2. Versatile

    Porcelain tile comes in several shapes and sizes and can mimic hardwood, marble or granite. The tiles can be installed in any shape or pattern to match your style.

  • 3. Moisture Resistant

    Ideal for kitchens and bathrooms, porcelain tile is more resistant to dampness and cracking than ceramic tile because porcelain is less dense and porous.

  • 4. Low Maintenance

    Porcelain tile is known for its low maintenance requirements. Regular upkeep involves sweeping to remove debris and occasional mopping with a mild detergent to keep tiles clean. The smooth surface is resistant to stains and easy to wipe down, preserving aesthetic appeal over time.

  • 5. Hygienic

    Choose porcelain tile for maintaining a hygienic indoor environment. Its hypoallergenic properties and resistance to bacteria and mold growth help to keep living spaces clean.
