Differentiating between laminate and luxury vinyl flooring involves checking a few distinct physical and tactile characteristics. First, examine the core: laminate features a hard wood-composite fiberboard core that feels hard and sounds hollow or clicky when tapped, whereas vinyl features a flexible or rigid plastic core. Second, inspect the edges or seams; laminate swells permanently if exposed to prolonged standing water, whereas vinyl is completely waterproof and impervious to moisture damage.
