Elevate Your Home with High-Performance Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Originally seen as a budget-friendly alternative to hardwood, today's luxury vinyl flooring options are in a class of their own. Inland Empire homeowners consistently choose luxury vinyl because it pairs realistic wood and stone visuals with unmatched affordability, moisture resistance, and durability.
At Wally's Carpet & Tile, we stock a large selection of top-tier luxury vinyl that can complement any design vision—whether you’re updating a ranch in Redlands or a family residence in San Bernardino.
Engineered for Busy Southern California Homes
Luxury vinyl is one of the most resilient flooring choices on the market. Accidental spills, scrapes, scuffs from furniture, dents, and tracked-in dirt are no match for its high-grade polyurethane wear layer. Better yet, unlike traditional hardwood, luxury vinyl will not swell, cup, or buckle when exposed to standing water or constant humidity in laundry rooms and bathrooms. To choose the best luxury vinyl for your space, consider these factors:
- Wear layer thickness: Measured in mil (thousandths of an inch). An 8 mil to 12 mil wear layer suits light residential use, while 20 mil or higher is recommended in busy homes or commercial spaces.
- Plank thickness: Ranges from 4mm up to 8mm or thicker. Thicker planks provide better acoustic dampening and a softer feel underfoot.
- Underlayment integration: Many types of luxury vinyl come with pre-attached acoustic pads for sound absorption and thermal insulation.
- Cost and longevity: Luxury vinyl offers incredible long-term value. With proper installation and basic care, high-quality luxury vinyl can maintain its beauty for decades to come.

Tailored Designs for Every Corner of Your Home
With high-definition print layers and realistic textures, modern luxury vinyl perfectly replicates hardwood and stone. Use it in living rooms, entertaining areas, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, basements, playrooms, and utility rooms.
Busy homeowners love luxury vinyl because it requires little to no upkeep. Simply sweep and vacuum your flooring as needed, and be sure to clean periodically with a damp mop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can luxury vinyl be installed over existing hard surfaces?
In many cases, yes. Many types of luxury vinyl can be placed directly over flat ceramic tile, sheet vinyl, or wood subfloors, provided the surface is structurally sound, clean, and level.
What is the difference between LVP and LVT?
LVP stands for luxury vinyl plank (designed to mimic wood), while LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile (designed to mimic natural stone, slate, or ceramic tiles). Both have the same high-performing benefits.
Is underlayment required for luxury vinyl?
Many types of luxury vinyl include attached underlayment. If yours does not include built-in padding, adding a separate underlayment pad improves sound control and underfoot cushioning.
