Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring

Absolutely! Laminate is a durable and scratch-resistant option but is not water-resistant, giving a big advantage to LVT. LVT has all the benefits of laminate with the added benefit of being water proof making it a better flooring option to laminate. LVT looks great too, coming in vinyl planks that resemble hardwood flooring and has a tile option as well to mimic even the best tile looks. 

I don’t think that it is better or worse. The difference between the two is that wood is an organic material making it vulnerable to scratching and water.  Hardwood flooring has a natural beauty unmatched by any flooring. Whereas LVT is a man-made material produced specifically to be extremely durable, water-proof, and scratch-resistant. LVT is made to mimic the beauty of hardwood flooring but to the trained eye is noticeably different. Both have their advantages and disadvantages you just have to decide what is important to you and what fits your household.

LVT has two types of installation methods; one is floating, where there is no adhesive, nails, or staples used and simply held together with a locking system, and the other is glue down, where an adhesive is used to directly attach the flooring to the sub-floor.
