SMART Carpet and Flooring Recommends Luxury Vinyl Tile for Residential, Commercial Applications Where Aesthetics and Durability Are Top Priorities

MANASQUAN, N.J., Feb. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As a mill-direct buying service, SMART Carpet and Flooring (http://www.smartcarpet.com) is continually looking for ways to deliver optimal value to every customer. For many, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) represents a winning combination of appealing design, high performance and affordability. Industry leader Mohawk produces several lines of LVT, with products certified to appeal to homeowners who take pride in the look and feel of their living spaces.

"Luxury vinyl tile seamlessly reproduces the appearance of wood, ceramic or stone," remarked Brendan Phillips, president of SMART Carpet and Flooring. "And beyond that visual appeal, LVT is both durable and comfortable enough for any living room, entryway or kitchen. It's simply one of the most versatile flooring options that we offer. Unlike traditional ceramic tile, LVT maintains the ambient temperature of the room it is in, so it stays warm to your touch."

Mohawk Simplesse LVT is available in 15 rich colors, ranging from tawny chestnut to warm honey oak – enough choices to complement any home décor. The patented Uniclic® installation system means no glue or special tools are required to lay the flooring. Maintaining Simplesse LVT is equally effortless. Regular sweeping and occasional wet mopping is all that's necessary to keep the flooring in top shape.

With its urethane finish, Simplesse LVT is durable enough for any room in the house while still being beautiful and comfortable on bare feet. The flooring comes with a 25-year limited residential warranty and a 6-year commercial warranty.

Prospects is another line of LVT from Mohawk that brings together tremendous durability with eye-catching colors. Homeowners can select from 10 wood plank and 3 ceramic tile designs; traditional glue-down installation holds the flooring firmly in place. Prospects is appropriate for any room in the house, and Mohawk extends a 15-year residential warranty on the flooring.

A slightly higher grade flooring is Prospects Plus, which comes with a 25-year warranty. Neither Prospects nor Prospects Plus contain recycled vinyl; virgin vinyl provides the utmost in strength and dimensional stability.

Although vinyl tile has been around for decades, today's luxury vinyl tile is nothing like what one might find in grandma's kitchen. Superior fabrication and printing technology means modern LVT floors are virtually indistinguishable from the "genuine" article. LVT also offers simple installation to appeal to do-it-yourself types.

Luxury vinyl tile is a composite product consisting of several functional layers. The foundation layer of PVC vinyl gives the flooring its stability and toughness, but also has a degree of flexibility to ensure longevity. The visible, "decorative" layer goes on top of the foundation layer, and a protective wear layer finishes the composite. The wear layer is typically several millimeters of transparent urethane.

SMART Carpet and Flooring already offers the most competitive pricing on the market, not to mention the convenience and practicality of at-home shopping. Homeowners can schedule an appointment that fits their schedule and receive a free, no-obligation estimate. SMART Carpet and Flooring's mobile showroom is filled with over 4,000 styles and colors from the world's top brands.

For consumers not on board with the DIY trend, or who simply are too busy to deal with a hands-on home improvement project, SMART Carpet and Flooring provides professional installation, backed by a lifetime warranty.
