The most popular flooring on the Emerald Coast
Luxury vinyl plank is now the top-selling flooring category in North America, and it's not hard to see why along a coastline where sand, salt air, and humidity are part of daily life. It's 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, kid- and pet-proof, looks indistinguishable from hardwood, and typically costs less installed.
Coastal Carpet & Tile stocks LVP as part of our full vinyl flooring lineup from Shaw, Armstrong, Karndean, Mannington, Centura, Kraus, and Harbinger - including the rigid-core SPC and WPC products designers specify on luxury coastal renovations.
How to choose the right LVP
Three numbers tell you almost everything about an LVP product: wear layer, core construction, and total thickness. We'll walk you through what they mean during your free in-home consultation.
- Wear layer 12-20 mil - residential, light traffic (rentals, bedrooms)
- Wear layer 22 mil - residential whole-home (most popular)
- Wear layer 28-30 mil - heavy residential and commercial
- SPC core (stone polymer composite) - rigid, won't telegraph subfloor imperfections
- WPC core (wood polymer composite) - softer underfoot, warmer feel
- Total thickness 5mm-8mm - thicker is quieter and more forgiving
Click-lock vs. glue-down installation
Click-lock LVP floats over the subfloor, installs fast, and is easy to repair. Glue-down LVP feels more solid underfoot, is quieter, and is the better choice for very large open areas and high-traffic commercial spaces. We'll recommend the right method based on your subfloor and room layout - and we install both. If your bathroom or laundry room calls for sheet vinyl or LVT instead, we carry those too.
Professional LVP installation
The difference between a great LVP install and a bad one is in the subfloor. We level every dip, fill every low spot, and use the manufacturer-required underlayment. Our crews also handle stair nosings (custom-milled to match when factory nosings aren't available), baseboard removal and reinstall, and full disposal of your existing floor.

Luxury Vinyl Plank - frequently asked questions
Yes - LVP is one of the best flooring options for sunrooms, bonus rooms, and below-grade spaces. It's waterproof, handles concrete subfloors without acclimation issues, and feels far warmer than tile. Book a free estimate and we'll bring samples to your home.
The top wear layer is highly scratch-resistant, but it isn't indestructible. Dog claws and heavy furniture being dragged across it can scuff cheaper LVP. We recommend a 20+ mil wear layer for households with large dogs.
Quality LVP with a 22+ mil wear layer lasts 20-25 years in a typical home. Commercial-rated LVP can go 25-30 years.
Reputable brands are FloorScore certified for indoor air quality and CARB Phase II compliant for formaldehyde. The LVP we sell is safe to install in nurseries and homes with sensitivities.
