About
In the contemporary landscape of commercial and high-end residential architecture, the selection of surfacing materials is no longer driven solely by aesthetics. Today’s specification professionals—architects, interior designers, and facility managers—require a synthesis of structural integrity, environmental compliance, and long-term lifecycle value. Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring has positioned itself within this intersection, providing high-performance resilient flooring solutions that address the rigorous demands of modern built environments.
Headquartered in the heart of the American flooring industry in Georgia, Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring focuses on the development of advanced polymer and mineral-core composites. Their portfolio is designed to bridge the gap between the natural beauty of organic materials and the uncompromising durability required for high-traffic sectors such as multi-family housing, hospitality, and corporate interiors.
The technical foundation of Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring lies in its diverse range of core constructions. Understanding the mechanical properties of these cores is essential for appropriate specification across varied project types.
For interior designers, the aesthetic flexibility of Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring allows for the seamless integration of biophilic elements into sterile or high-use environments. The brand utilizes high-definition digital imaging and Embossed in Register (EIR) technology to replicate the visual and tactile nuances of natural timber and stone.
EIR technology aligns the surface texture with the underlying print film, ensuring that knots, grain patterns, and clefts are felt exactly where they are seen. This level of realism supports design schemes that aim to evoke the psychological benefits of natural wood while maintaining the maintenance-free benefits of a synthetic composite. The collection spans a wide spectrum of colorways, from neutral "greige" tones for minimalist modernism to deep, rustic textures for traditional or transitional spaces.
From a facility management perspective, the long-term value of a flooring system is determined by its resistance to degradation and ease of upkeep. Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring integrates several key protective technologies to ensure longevity:
Advanced Wear Layers: Most commercial-grade specifications within the Create portfolio feature 12mil to 20mil+ wear layers. These layers are frequently enhanced with ceramic bead coatings, which provide a micro-textured barrier against abrasive wear, scuffs, and chemical staining.
Dimensional Stability: The rigid core technologies (SPC and MSPC) minimize the risk of "telegraphing," where subfloor imperfections become visible on the surface. This stability allows for installation over existing hard surfaces, reducing demolition costs and project timelines.
Acoustical Performance: Many products come with pre-attached high-density IXPE or EVA underlayments. These integrated pads simplify the installation process while providing significant sound dampening, which is vital for compliance with building codes in multi-story developments.
Maintenance protocols are designed to be low-impact, requiring only routine sweeping and damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaners. The non-porous surface prevents the accumulation of allergens and pathogens, contributing to a more hygienic indoor environment compared to traditional carpet or porous natural stone.
Sustainability is a core pillar for modern specification. Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring addresses this through rigorous indoor air quality standards and material sourcing. All products are FloorScore® Certified, ensuring they meet the strict California Section 01350 requirements for low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emissions. This certification is crucial for projects seeking LEED or WELL building credits.
Furthermore, the durability of these materials contributes to a sustainable lifecycle by extending the replacement interval. Unlike natural wood, which requires periodic sanding and refinishing with harsh chemicals, or laminate, which may fail in moist conditions, Create’s resilient systems remain functional for decades. The move toward MSPC also reflects a shift toward more mineral-rich, PVC-reduced cores, aligning with broader industry trends toward environmentally conscious material manufacturing.
The adaptability of Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring makes it a specification-ready solution for several key sectors:
Create Luxury Vinyl Flooring stands as a performance-driven partner for the architecture and design community. By offering a comprehensive suite of MSPC, SPC, and WPC systems, the brand provides the technical flexibility needed to solve complex flooring challenges across diverse project scopes. Their commitment to FloorScore® certification and realistic design ensures that functional performance never comes at the expense of occupant health or aesthetic vision.
For professionals looking to integrate these systems into their next project, the company provides extensive support, including technical data sheets, installation guides, and physical sampling.
