At Floor & Decor, we provide premium brands of both luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile in a variety of shades, styles and designs, so you can get a look you love with protection you can trust.

Tile is naturally durable, waterproof and scratchproof, and glazed porcelain and ceramic tile are virtually impenetrable by stains.
