Luxury vinyl tile is in tile form, and these systems mimic natural stone such as granite, slate, marble, etc. Luxury vinyl plank, on the other hand, mimics hardwoods such as oak, maple, mahogany, elm, etc. In both cases, high-def imaging is used to create the surface film, making it nearly impossible to tell the LVT or LVP from the real thing. These surface films are truly remarkable, and their authentic-looking appearance is one of the main reasons homeowners are buying luxury vinyl.
