Vinyl Plank

At its heart, plank vinyl floor, also called luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or luxury vinyl floor (LVF), is simply vinyl flooring that comes in long, narrow strips rather than the traditional square tile shapes. But structurally this is a different product. Vinyl plank flooring is a multi-ply product that features four layers:
• A topmost layer of aluminum oxide, designed to prevent light scratching and scuffs
• A clear film layer that protects against more severe ripping and tearing
• A design layer that provides the photo-realistic look of wood or stone
• A backing layer made of fairly rigid vinyl, comprising almost 90 percent of the total thickness of luxury vinyl
