VINYL FLOOR CARE: PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT
Are you looking for a better way to care for luxury vinyl? EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish, a water-based urethane, serves as an ideal solution for all of your vinyl floor care needs. Simply put, there is no better sealer for LVT(Luxury Vinyl Tile), LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank), and Sheet Vinyl!
FACTORY FINISHES DO NOT LAST!
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile), LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank), and Sheet Vinyl are flooring products comprised of several layers of artificial materials. Among those layers is the top transparent wear layer (that ranges from 4-40 mils of thickness) that may or may not be coated with a factory finish that is marketed as “no-wax” or “maintenance-free. However, the wear layer will gradually wear away with time from the passage of feet and the movement of furniture. Plus, because LVT/LVP is highly textured, it can be more difficult than VCT to clean and maintain. So, you may ask yourself, "Can you seal vinyl plank flooring?" The answer is YES! Whether it comes with a factory finish or not, UDT recommends coating it with EPIC High-Performance Floor Finish to enhance its beauty and protect LVT. When it comes to vinyl floor care, EPIC is the trusted product to ensure that your flooring performs as anticipated throughout its expected lifespan.

LUXURY VINYL: THE BASICS
Luxury Vinyl includes the following floor types: LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile), LVP (Luxury Vinyl Planks), and Sheet Vinyl. These vinyl floor applications are unique because they mimic wood, stone, terrazzo, concrete, and are available in hundreds of other varying patterns. It is easy to install, water-resistant, and with proper installation and care, vinyl plank flooring can be a long-lasting, environmentally friendly choice for settings such as homes, schools, medical facilities, hotels, and commercial spaces.
Performance of all types of luxury vinyl flooring is determined by its materials. Each engineered vinyl plank and tile is crafted with one of three main core types:
- WPC (Wood Plastic Composite)
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- SPC (Stone Plastic Composite)
Both WPC and PVC core products produce a softer underfoot feel. Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) core is the toughest of the three core types and often referred to as Rigid Core or Engineered Vinyl Tile/Plank flooring (EVT or EVP). Due to its rigid core (composed of a 70% stone powder + 30% PVC core), SPC-formulated planks and tiles are especially popular in commercial settings, though less flexible underfoot.
