Vinyl plank flooring is a multi-layer engineered flooring that has gathered the best characteristics from other types of flooring. Easy click-in floating installation from laminate, waterproof ability from sheet vinyl, and luxury wood look from hardwood. Normally luxury vinyl plank is 4-7 inches wide, 36-48 inches long, and 3-8 millimeters thick and equipped with click-in locks around the edges.
