Luxury vinyl plank provides the look of real hardwood without the same level of cost and maintenance. Rooms with real hardwood flooring are stunning, but the maintenance and care can be a hassle for some. Luxury vinyl plank flooring brings the look of real wood floors with less maintenance in most cases.
Sheet vinyl flooring is one continuous piece of vinyl with a fiberglass backing that comes in large rolls. Large sheets of vinyl flooring are often installed with very few seams. In fact, if the room is small, like a bathroom or laundry room, one single piece may be used. This provides a floor that can be even more water- resistant and easier to clean
