Choosing new flooring can be both exciting and a little overwhelming. With so many options available, it’s easy to get lost in the details - especially when it comes to vinyl flooring. Two of the most popular choices we get asked about at My Floor Haven are Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) and Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT).
Both are stylish, durable, and versatile. Both are excellent for busy households and modern lifestyles. But each has its own strengths depending on the look you love and how you use your space.
So, what exactly is the difference between LVP and LVT? And how do you know which one is right for your home?
What Is Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)?
Luxury Vinyl Plank is designed to look like hardwood flooring—without the maintenance or the price tag. If you're dreaming of that warm, classic wood look but need something that can handle everyday life (spills, kids, pets, the occasional dropped glass…), LVP could be your new best friend.
Each plank mimics the color, grain, and texture of natural wood, and modern LVP is so realistic that many of our customers have a hard time telling the difference!
Why Homeowners Love LVP:
-
Authentic wood-like appearance with beautiful texture
-
Scratch-resistant and waterproof options—perfect for kids & pets
-
Easy DIY or professional installation with click-lock systems
-
Cozy underfoot and warmer than tile
-
Ideal for open-plan spaces, bedrooms, and living rooms
Experience warmth and elegance with every step with our wide selection of Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) Collection.
What Is Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)?
Luxury Vinyl Tile is made to mimic natural stone, ceramic, or even concrete—but it’s softer, warmer, and easier to maintain. LVT comes in tile shapes and sizes and can elevate any room with its sleek, modern vibe.
It’s a favorite in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, where moisture and messes are common. And just like LVP, LVT is built tough—it resists water, scratches, and everyday wear and tear like a pro.
Why Homeowners Love LVT:
-
Stunning stone, ceramic, and slate visuals
-
Slip-resistant, waterproof, and easy to clean
-
Softer and warmer than traditional tile underfoot
-
Great for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry areas, and entryways
-
Long-lasting performance in high-moisture zones

Which One Should You Choose?
It really depends on your space, style, and lifestyle.

👉 Choose LVT if you want the elegance of stone or ceramic tile but without the cold, hard feel. LVT shines in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas, giving you a clean, high-end finish with comfort underfoot.
