Pattern repeat in Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl Plank & Tile Pattern Variations

How do standard luxury vinyl plank design patterns repeat across the planks or tiles. While less repeat is ideal, what's more important is how discernably different each plank is next to one another. If one vinyl plank pattern really sticks out and you have a lot of pattern repeat the flooring installation will look cheap.

How do we get so many vinyl plank pattern variations?

Each design of out LVP & LVT flooring is printed on a thin film and adhered to the vinyl planks during manufacturing. This film can be rotated and/or shifted on the planks to create variations in the planks. The more variations there are, the fewer repeats there will be and therefor, the more randomized the final layout will be.

What is "EIR"?

EIR stands for β€œembossing in register”. It is the deepest embossing available for flooring. This gives the print a more realistic wood-look, with the grooves matching the printed woodgrain. IRE increases the realism but allows for fewer plank variations
