Title: "Today's Luxury Vinyl"

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is the fastest growing flooring category in the industry, so it may be a little hard to keep up! This isn’t your grandmother’s sheet vinyl. These products come in a variety of colours, sizes, textures and designs that mimic real wood and stone for both residential and commercial use. There is a lot of confusion over what vinyl products on the market today are worth using and which you should pass on. This CEU will look to outline the key advantages of using glue down, floating and click flooring, the environmental features, and installation techniques of today’s luxury vinyl flooring.​
