Vinyl flooring specialists on the Emerald Coast
Modern vinyl is the most versatile flooring for coastal living - 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, kid- and pet-proof, and convincing enough that most guests can't tell it from hardwood or stone. Coastal Carpet & Tile stocks luxury vinyl plank, luxury vinyl tile, sheet vinyl, and Forbo Marmoleum for every room in your the Emerald Coast home or rental.
We buy directly from Shaw, Armstrong, Karndean, Mannington, Centura, Kraus, and Harbinger. That means manufacturer pricing and a deep inventory at our Emerald Coast Pkwy showroom, so most jobs start within a week of your estimate.
The four kinds of vinyl - which one fits your room
"Vinyl flooring" covers four very different products. We'll match the right one to your room during a free in-home consultation.
- Luxury Vinyl Plank - looks like hardwood, 100% waterproof, best for whole homes
- Luxury Vinyl Tile - looks like stone or ceramic, grouted or ungrouted, best for kitchens and baths
- Sheet vinyl - large rolls with seamless installation, best for laundry rooms and small baths
- Forbo Marmoleum - natural linoleum, bacteriostatic, popular in healthcare and eco-conscious homes
Where vinyl outperforms hardwood and tile in a beach town
Vinyl is the only flooring you can put anywhere in a Destin home with confidence. Hardwood can react to swings in humidity. Tile cracks when something heavy drops. Carpet stains from sandy, salty feet. Vinyl shrugs all of it off - and it's softer underfoot than tile, warmer than stone, and quieter than laminate. It also installs over almost any subfloor, which means lower demo costs and faster project timelines, useful when you're turning a rental around between bookings.
Professional installation
Vinyl looks deceptively simple to install, but the details that separate a great job from a sloppy one - flat subfloors, full-perimeter expansion gaps, custom-matched stair nosings, proper transition strips - all come from craft. Our crews handle every step, including baseboard removal and reinstall, transitions, and disposal of your existing floor.

Vinyl Flooring - frequently asked questions
Yes - all the LVP, LVT, and sheet vinyl we sell is 100% waterproof. You can mop it, spill on it, and install it in laundry rooms and bathrooms without issue.
LVP is waterproof; laminate is not. LVP is softer and quieter underfoot. Laminate is slightly more scratch-resistant on the surface. For most rooms, LVP wins.
Often yes - if the grout lines aren't too deep and the tile is solidly bonded. We'll assess during your free estimate and either install directly or skim-coat to level the surface first.
Quality LVP with a UV-protected wear layer holds its color for decades. Cheaper builder-grade vinyl in a sun-drenched room facing the water can fade in a few years - one reason we don't sell the bottom of the market.
