While it was once only available in sheets, vinyl has evolved into a sophisticated, highly sought-after flooring option. Available in 100% waterproof planks (LVP) and tiles (LVT), today’s luxury vinyl is giving hardwoods and natural stone a run for their money.

Shaw Floorte Collection

When it comes to waterproof vinyl, you can’t go wrong with Shaw Floors. Here’s what we’re loving from their Floorte Collection.

Minimalist Finishes

Shaw’s Prodigy HDR Plus line is full of minimalist designs and flat, gloss-free finishes. It’s available in 10 colors that mimic real wood species and features embossing technology to give the planks a true-to-life texture.

Wire-Brushed Planks

The Antica HD Plus line incorporates mixed wood species for a multi-tone appeal. Each plank is wire-brushed to create a slightly weathered look and then finished with Shaw’s ArmourBead performance layer.

Gorgeous Grain Patterns

Mantua Plus highlights the beauty of natural grain patterns found in hardwoods. Available in 10 finishes ranging from rich and warm to cool and neutral, this best-selling vinyl plank flooring looks and feels just like the real thing.vinyl

Varying Plank Sizes

If you’re drawn to rustic interior design, you’ll appreciate Shaw’s Largo Mix Plus line. The knotted “time-worn” planks come in varying widths and lengths, which you can install next to each other to create a truly unique aesthetic.

Want wood floors in your kitchen or bathroom? While natural hardwoods aren’t typically recommended in moisture-prone zones, waterproof LVP is an excellent choice. You can order your cabinets, countertops, and backsplash from Floor Factors too.
