Vinyl flooring, also known by LVT (luxury vinyl tile), LVP (luxury vinyl plank) and LVF (luxury vinyl flooring), is simply vinyl flooring that is manufactured in plank, rectangular or square shapes to simulate a hardwood or tile flooring look. It is a layered product, generally consisting of an underlayment, a “rigid” core, a design, and color layer, and lastly, a wear layer making the product scratch resistant.
