Vinyl plank flooring or tile: Which is best?

As you shop for the perfect flooring for your remodel, you may find yourself stuck between vinyl plank flooring and tile floors. To find out which is best, you’ll need to know more about the benefits of each, so here are a few things to consider as you shop.

Understanding your options


For durability, tile flooring offers excellent protection from scratches, cracks, chips, and stains while also providing a certain degree of moisture resistance. With suitable grout and sealant, you'll enjoy excellent performance, even in the busiest areas of your home.

For complete waterproof protection and resistance to scratches, scuffs, stains, and dents, the benefits of LVT and LVP flooring will serve you well. Specific core and top protective layers bring these benefits, which pair well with the material’s natural beauty and lifespan of up to 20 years.

Both materials offer beautiful visual choices, with luxury vinyl flooring often mimicking natural wood, stone, and porcelain tile. Genuine tile floors offer extensive colors, textures, and installation layouts that work together to create innumerable opportunities and customizations.

If you want to see these differences in person, stop by our showroom whenever you're in the area. We look forward to helping you choose the perfect luxury vinyl flooring or tile.
