Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a type of luxury vinyl flooring that is made to mimic the look of hardwood flooring. It is made up of multiple layers of vinyl, which are fused together to create a durable, waterproof surface that can withstand heavy foot traffic and moisture.

LVP flooring typically comes in planks that are designed to look like real wood, with a textured surface that gives it the appearance of natural grain patterns.

This is in contract to Luxury Vinyl Tile, which is generally shaped like and made to appear like porcelain or ceramic styles. However, some LVP flooring collections also come in a variety of colors and patterns, including stone and tile looks.
