Homeowner’s Guide to Resilient Flooring

By Floor & Decor

Resilient flooring is hard surface flooring with a bit of give to accommodate high traffic commercial and residential spaces. It’s most popular for its durability and wood-like feel, making it ideal for every household. Resilient flooring is any type of luxury vinyl plank, luxury vinyl tile and eco resilient flooring. Our guide breaks resilient flooring into two categories with our top performance brands, so you can decide which option works best in your space:

1. Eco Resilient Flooring

Eco resilient floors are 100% PVC free with dent-proof, waterproof and scratch-resistant qualities. The sturdiness of eco resilient floors makes them an ideal for households with pets and children. The waterproof properties allow for installation in every room of the home. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly and waterproof option, eco resilient flooring is a fantastic choice.

Optimax™ Eco Resilient Flooring

Optimax™ Eco Resilient Flooring is top-of-the-line resilient flooring, exclusive to Floor & Decor. This eco-friendly floor is reinforced with TechTanium Plus for supreme protection against scratches, dents and pets, while its authentic wood texture gives it the classic and popular wood-look homeowners love. The best part about Optimax™ Eco Resilient Flooring is its easy installation process. Optimax™ is ready to be installed the same day as purchased, and its locking method makes the installation process simple. You can even place it over existing floors. Optimax™ takes the worry out of buying with a lifetime residential and 20-year commercial warranty.

2. Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl

Rigid core is an evolution of traditional luxury vinyl planks, engineered with a core construction that gives the planks added strength. A solid core is less pliable and feels more like traditional hardwood underfoot.

NuCore® Performance Flooring

NuCore® Performance floors are an excellent rigid core luxury vinyl option. The rigid core is constructed out of stone and vinyl and backed by a balance layer for added stability and durability. NuCore® Performance is also reinforced with Techtanium Plus for extreme protection against dents, scratches and water. The cork backing makes the planks sound resistant and protects them against mold and mildew. The durability paired with easy maintenance and cleaning makes this floor perfect for any high-traffic area in your home.

NuCore® Flooring

NuCore® has many of the same great qualities of NuCore® Performance available in a wide range of styles and prices. Like NuCore® Performance, NuCore® is completely waterproof, scratch and stain-resistant, making it ideal for any room in your home. Its thick rigid waterproof core makes NuCore® especially resistant to water, and its naturally hypoallergenic cork backing gives the planks soft underfoot and protects from mold and mildew. Thanks to the easy lock installation, NuCore® can be installed on the same day of purchase.

DuraLux Performance® Flooring

DuraLux Performance® is one of the most durable options of resilient flooring thanks to its rigid stone and vinyl-based core. The rigid core paired with the scratch-resistant and stain-resistant top layer makes the flooring 100% waterproof and almost impenetrable from dents and scratches. The soft underfoot gives the planks and tiles sound reducing and anti-microbial properties. The floor is ready to be installed right outside of the box with no special tools or glue required, thanks to its easy lock installation.

Now, shop resilient flooring with confidence and choose a look that will last. With alternatives to traditional materials, you have the flexibility to fit the flooring to your lifestyle with new durability innovation and style at the forefront.
