Main Differences between traditional or Flexible LVT and the new HYDROSTOP Rigid Core LVT?

One of the main differences is that Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Flooring includes an extruded polymer-based core layer that gives the flooring a more rigid characteristic. This helps the LVT plank or tile hide some common subfloor imperfections that could transfer or 'telegraph' up to the floor’s surface, which can be common with traditional flexible LVT in certain circumstances.

What are the main advantages of Rigid Core LVT flooring?

Rigid Core LVT is waterproof, so it can be installed in water-prone indoor areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and entryways. The rigid core hides most common subfloor imperfections, making installation easier and ensuring a smoother finished appearance. It is a floating floor with a locking system, so adhesive is not required, and less subfloor prep is needed than with flexible LVT.
