Get the look you love with luxury vinyl flooring
Finding the right flooring should never feel overwhelming. Your floors set the stage for your home, and they need to work just as hard as they look good. That is why so many homeowners are turning to luxury vinyl flooring. It combines style, strength, and practicality in one package. At Snyder's Carpet & Flooring, we bring the showroom to your home, making it easier than ever to choose flooring that reflects your lifestyle and personality.Understanding the makeup of luxury vinyl flooring
Luxury vinyl flooring is carefully engineered to balance beauty and durability. It is not one single material but a layered product designed for performance. Here is what makes it different:
- Wear layer: A clear, protective top coating that shields against scratches, scuffs, and spills, which keeps your floors looking fresh even in high-traffic areas.
- Design layer: This is where the magic happens. Advanced printing technology creates realistic wood, stone, or tile visuals, often with added texture for depth and authenticity.
- Core layer: A strong vinyl or composite core gives the floor structure. Depending on the product, this can be flexible or rigid. Rigid cores (often called SPC or WPC) resist dents and feel solid underfoot.
- Backing layer: A stabilizing layer that adds support and helps with sound absorption. Some products include an attached pad for extra comfort.
These layers come together to give you flooring that is versatile, water resistant, and stylish. Unlike sheet vinyl of the past, luxury vinyl flooring has dimension, weight, and a realistic feel that elevates your home.

The many benefits of LVT and LVP flooring
Why choose luxury vinyl flooring over other options? The benefits are hard to ignore.
- Waterproof: Luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring are waterproof, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements. Spills wipe up without worry.
- Durability: The tough wear layer is resistant to pets, kids, and daily traffic, making scratches and stains less likely.
- Design variety: From rustic oak planks to sleek marble tile looks, there is a style to match every home design.
- Comfort: Luxury vinyl flooring is softer underfoot than traditional tile and warmer than stone. Attached pads even add a little cushion.
- Low maintenance: Forget about refinishing or sealing. A broom and mop keep LVT and LVP flooring looking great.
- Value: Luxury vinyl tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring deliver a high-end look without the high-end price tag.
For busy families, luxury vinyl flooring means enjoying the look you love without stressing over every scratch or spill.
Choosing your ideal luxury vinyl floors
Not all luxury vinyl flooring is the same. Picking the right product for your home depends on a few factors.
- LVP vs. LVT: Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) mimics hardwood planks with wood textures and colors, while luxury vinyl tile (LVT) offers tile and stone looks. Both are stylish, but the choice comes down to whether you want the warmth of wood or the elegance of stone.
- Thickness: Thicker flooring generally feels sturdier and may offer better sound absorption. Thicker wear layers also mean added durability. Aim for a thicker wear layer for high-traffic spaces.
- Width: Wide planks create an open, modern feel, while narrower planks or tiles can add traditional charm.
- Color and shade: Light floors brighten a space and make rooms look larger. Darker tones add warmth and richness. Consider how natural light in your home interacts with the flooring.
- Installation method: Most luxury vinyl flooring today uses a click-lock floating installation, which allows planks or tiles to snap together. Some are glued down for added stability. With professional installation, both methods deliver great results.
Our design consultants will walk you through all these details so you get flooring that feels custom-fit to your life.
