Luxury vinyl gives you the warmth of hardwood or the look of natural stone, with a waterproof, scratch-resistant core that holds up to real family life. Heritage Floors carries a carefully selected range of luxury vinyl plank and tile in our Lancaster County showroom, where you can see and feel every option before you decide.
What is Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring is a multi-layer synthetic product engineered to replicate the look of hardwood, stone, or tile at a fraction of the cost and with far less maintenance. It comes in two main formats: luxury vinyl plank (LVP), which mimics the appearance of wood, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT), which captures the look of ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone.
Unlike older generations of vinyl, today’s luxury vinyl features photorealistic print layers, embossed textures, and a rigid waterproof core that makes it suitable for virtually any room in the home. At Heritage Floors, we stock a curated selection of LVP and LVT from trusted manufacturers, available to browse in person at our Ronks showroom.
LVP vs. LVT: What’s the Difference?
Both formats share the same waterproof core and durable construction. The difference comes down to aesthetics and where each format works best.
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Designed to replicate the look of hardwood, LVP comes in long, narrow planks with wood-grain textures and a range of stain colors. It's the go-to choice for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a warm, natural aesthetic is the goal.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
Formatted to mimic ceramic, porcelain, or stone, LVT offers the sophisticated look of natural tile without the cold, hard surface or the grout maintenance. It's a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.

Where Luxury Vinyl Works Best
One of luxury vinyl’s greatest strengths is its versatility. It performs well in rooms where hardwood can’t go and looks better than most alternatives that can.
Kitchens
Spills, splashes, and constant foot traffic are no match for luxury vinyl’s waterproof core. It’s a practical and beautiful alternative to tile or hardwood in the most-used room in your home.
Bathrooms
Luxury vinyl handles moisture that would ruin hardwood, and it’s warmer and softer underfoot than ceramic tile. LVT in particular creates a polished, spa-like look without the cold surface.
Basements
Basements present real challenges for flooring: moisture, subfloor irregularities, and temperature swings. Luxury vinyl’s rigid, waterproof core handles all three, making it one of the best options for below-grade spaces.
Living Rooms & Bedrooms
LVP brings the warmth and character of hardwood to any living space, with the comfort of a softer, quieter surface and none of the refinishing requirements.
Light Commercial Spaces
Heritage also serves business owners. Higher wear-layer luxury vinyl is a cost-effective, high-durability option for offices, retail spaces, and rental properties.
Brands We Trust
We carry luxury vinyl from manufacturers we stand behind, chosen for quality, consistency, and value.

Choosing the right floor is easier when you can see exactly how it will look in your space. Our Roomvo Visualizer lets you upload a photo of any room in your home and preview different luxury vinyl styles in real time, so you can shop with confidence before you ever set foot in the showroom.
Installation: What To Expect
Most luxury vinyl flooring uses a click-lock floating system, meaning planks or tiles snap together without adhesive and are not fastened to the subfloor. This makes installation relatively straightforward, and many homeowners choose to tackle it themselves.
That said, professional installation ensures the job is done right from the start. Proper subfloor preparation, maintaining correct expansion gaps, and handling transitions and thresholds cleanly all make a real difference in how the floor performs and looks over time. Heritage offers professional installation throughout Lancaster County, and our team will make sure your new floor is set up to last.
