Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) give you the look of hardwood or stone without the upkeep, and they handle water, pets and our dry winters better than real wood.

Come see the planks in person at our showroom on 178 Street.

What luxury vinyl is

Unlike sheet vinyl, LVP and LVT come as individual planks or tiles, so the floor looks more like real wood or stone, and a damaged piece can be replaced on its own. A typical plank is built in layers:

a cushioned base layer for comfort underfoot
a dense core for stability
a printed vinyl layer that reproduces wood or stone, under a clear wear layer

Most of the products we carry use click-lock installation. Some are loose-lay or glue-down for commercial and larger spaces. Waterproof options are available.

Why luxury vinyl plank Edmonton homeowners choose it

Edmonton's seasonal temperature changes and dry winters are hard on natural wood. Vinyl won't dry out, shrink or crack in a cold, dry winter the way solid wood can. For basements, we generally recommend flooring that handles moisture and temperature changes well, and LVP is one of the most popular choices. We evaluate the concrete and subfloor first so any moisture or preparation issue is dealt with before installation.

LVP is also usually less expensive than natural hardwood when you compare material and installation together, while still giving you a convincing wood-look floor. Hardwood remains the choice if you want genuine wood that may be refinished later.

We also carry our own Signature Vinyl line. Preview one range on Primco's Estates Luxury Vinyl page, then compare the samples underfoot in our showroom.

Luxury vinyl FAQs

Is luxury vinyl plank waterproof?

Many LVP products have waterproof or highly water-resistant cores. Specifications vary, so we'll help you choose a product suited to the room.

Is vinyl plank good for high-traffic areas?

Yes. When choosing LVP, consider the wear layer, overall construction, installation method and manufacturer warranty. A thicker wear layer stands up better to scratches and daily traffic.

Is LVP cheaper than hardwood?

In most cases, yes, comparing material and installation together. If you want genuine wood, see hardwood flooring.

What's the difference between vinyl plank and sheet vinyl?

Plank is installed as individual pieces and is easier to repair. Sheet vinyl rolls out in large sections, which can suit very wet areas but is harder to patch. We also carry sheet vinyl, including Polyflor for commercial spaces.

Can I install vinyl plank flooring myself?

Yes! Many vinyl plank options feature click-lock installation, which is DIY-friendly. For more complex layouts, professional installation ensures a flawless finish.

Is luxury vinyl safe for homes with kids and pets?

Yes, many LVP products are low-VOC and phthalate-free. Look for certified brands that meet indoor air quality standards for a healthier home.
