Porcelain tile, LVP, or LVT in kitchen/bathroom of rental unit?

[John S.]

Hello everyone,

I have a triplex that I'm going to be doing a full renovation on. I'm planning on using Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) throughout each apartment, and was wondering if I should switch to Porcelain tile, LVP, or LVT in the kitchens and bathrooms?

My only issue with traditional porcelain tile is that grout can start to look rough with age, meanwhile LVT wouldn't ever need to be re-grouted.

What would you guys recommend with this being a rental unit?

They've got LVP that looks like tile but installs like LVP planks. I've been using that in bathrooms instead of tile and really like it. Easy floor prep and no grout.

I use the same LVP in the kitchen that I use in the rest of the house.
