Rigid Vinyl Plank (RVP)

Take our CoreLuxe rigid vinyl plank flooring, for instance. It's manufactured with a stone polymer composite (SPC) core, which means it's less likely to dent and can better withstand sunlight and temperature changes. What's more, it's exceptionally scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and waterproof. This means it can stand up to all the ruckus your busy home is dishing out—from roughhousing kids to rambunctious pets and everything in between. That sturdy construction helps CoreLuxe vinyl feel more substantial underfoot—making it ideal for the busiest areas of your home—and if you're a DIYer, you're in luck, because installing these floors is the epitome of simplicity. You can install RVP by using the click-float installation method or gluing the planks to your subfloor—two options that emphasize quickness and ease.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Luxury vinyl plank flooring can be a lasting addition to your home at a price point you'll love. This waterproof flooring can withstand accidental splashes and spills. Plus, it's scratch-resistant and fade-resistant, which means it can withstand your busy home life. Like RVP, luxury vinyl plank flooring is a DIYer's dream. Easy click and glue-down methods take the guesswork out of your installation, making it doable for novices and experts alike. Check out peel-and-stick vinyl flooring options, too, as another easy installation option.
