Vinyl plank flooring is one of today’s most popular choices for good reason. It stands up to moisture, handles daily wear and tear with ease, and comes in a wide variety of styles to match any room in your home. Beautiful, durable, and simple to maintain, vinyl delivers exceptional value without compromise.
At Creative Carpet & Flooring, we help homeowners and businesses in the Mokena and Highland regions (and beyond) to find the right vinyl flooring for their space, style, and budget.

Simple sweeping and occasional mopping are all it takes to keep vinyl spotless.
Cushioned layers add comfort, making it easy on your feet during long days at home.
Choosing between glue down and floating installation depends on your priorities. Glue down offers maximum stability and longevity, while floating floors provide flexibility, easier installation, and simpler replacement.
Individual planks or tiles are adhered directly to the subfloor for a stable, permanent installation that lies perfectly flat. This method creates a thinner, quieter surface that performs beautifully in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and high-traffic commercial areas where durability and moisture resistance are key. It’s a long-lasting solution, though installation takes more effort and removal can be challenging.
Floating floors click or lock together and rest over the subfloor without glue, making installation quick, clean, and ideal for DIY projects. They’re easy to remove or replace and require an underlayment for cushioning and sound control. Some notice a slightly hollow feel underfoot, but floating floors are a versatile choice for living rooms, bedrooms, full-home installations, upper levels, and rental properties.
The wear layer is the clear protective coating on top of the vinyl that determines durability and longevity. It's measured in mils (thousandths of an inch):
Light residential use, suitable for bedrooms and low-traffic areas.
Standard residential, suitable for most homes, including kitchens and living rooms.
Heavy residential or commercial use, ideal for very high-traffic areas, homes with pets, or commercial spaces.

LVP mimics hardwood in plank format, LVT replicates stone or ceramic tile in square formats, and sheet vinyl comes in large rolls for seamless installation. LVP and LVT offer superior durability and realistic textures. At the same time, sheet vinyl is the most budget-friendly option and works well for large, continuous areas.
Quality luxury vinyl is completely waterproof, making it ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and laundry rooms where moisture is a concern. It can handle standing water without damage, unlike laminate or hardwood, making it perfect for high-moisture areas and homes with pets or children.
Luxury vinyl is highly durable and resistant to dents and stains. However, laminate typically offers better scratch resistance due to its harder surface. Vinyl handles moisture far better than both laminate and hardwood, making it more versatile for various home environments, though it may show wear patterns in extremely high-traffic areas over time.
Yes, vinyl can often be installed over existing floors, such as tile, hardwood, or laminate, provided the surface is level, clean, and structurally sound. This saves time and money on removal costs. However, some subfloor preparation may be necessary depending on the condition of the existing flooring.
Modern luxury vinyl offers incredibly realistic textures, colors, and grain patterns that closely mimic natural materials. While it may not have the exact feel or prestige of real hardwood or stone, today's high-quality vinyl offers exceptional visual appeal at a fraction of the cost, along with superior performance benefits.
Vinyl requires minimal maintenance with regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping using manufacturer-approved cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools, and clean up spills promptly to maintain the surface appearance. Although waterproof vinyl won't be damaged by moisture, it is essential to clean up spills promptly.
