SolidTech Luxury Vinyl Flooring
What Is SolidTech Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
SolidTech is Mohawk’s premium luxury vinyl plank (LVP) line, engineered specifically for households that need flooring to survive pets, kids, spills, and daily wear without compromise. Unlike traditional vinyl, SolidTech features 100% waterproof construction, an All Pet warranty covering both accidents and scratches, and a stain-resistant surface designed to clean up with just water. It’s a category leader in the pet-friendly, waterproof LVP segment – a product Mohawk built for the way modern homes actually get used.
At National Floors Direct, SolidTech is one of the most-requested LVP products in our lineup, particularly for homeowners with dogs, cats, small children, or high-traffic entryways and kitchens. It looks like real hardwood or stone, but it wears like flooring engineered for the real world.

Why SolidTech Is One of the Best Luxury Vinyl Plank Options
With so many LVP brands on the market, choosing the right product can feel overwhelming. SolidTech distinguishes itself in the categories buyers care about most:
Full waterproof performance
SolidTech carries the WetProtect Gold designation – Mohawk’s highest waterproof tier – with patented Uniclic joints that create water-tight seams and a warranty covering both the surface and the subfloor. This means SolidTech can install in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms where solid hardwood and traditional laminate can’t.
Best-in-class pet protection
The All Pet warranty is what puts SolidTech in a class of its own for pet households. Most flooring warranties exclude pet-related damage – accidents, scratches from claws, stains from urine. SolidTech’s All Pet coverage includes all of it, which is exactly why pet-owning families gravitate toward this product line.
Realistic wood and stone visuals
SolidTech uses GenuEdge technology – a deeper, more authentic bevel around each plank that mimics how real hardwood is milled. Combined with high-resolution wood and stone visuals, the result is LVP that reads as premium natural material rather than obviously synthetic.
EasyClean stain protection
The EasyClean surface treatment resists common household stains – food, wine, coffee, kids’ art projects – and cleans up with just water in most cases. No specialty cleaners required.

SolidTech vs. Other Flooring Options
The most common questions we hear about SolidTech are how it compares to other flooring types buyers are researching. Here’s how it stacks up on the criteria that matter for a whole-home decision.
SolidTech vs. Traditional Vinyl or Sheet Vinyl
Traditional vinyl and sheet vinyl are the entry point for water-resistant flooring, but they’re softer, less durable, and don’t hold up to the wear pattern of modern households. SolidTech is a rigid-core LVP – significantly harder, more scratch-resistant, and engineered with an integrated waterproof layer that traditional vinyl can’t match. Traditional vinyl is a budget solution; SolidTech is a long-term flooring investment.
SolidTech vs. Laminate
Modern laminate (including Mohawk’s RevWood line) can be waterproof and durable, and it delivers a slightly more authentic wood feel than vinyl. But laminate can be louder to walk on and doesn’t offer the same pet-focused warranty coverage that SolidTech does. For households that prioritize pet-related durability and coverage, SolidTech is typically the better fit; for households that prioritize the closest match to real hardwood in look and feel, RevWood may be a better choice.
SolidTech vs. Solid Hardwood
Solid hardwood remains the reference standard for warmth and long-term value, but it can’t be installed below grade (basements), reacts poorly to water, and scratches easily. SolidTech delivers the visual appeal of hardwood with none of those limitations. For most modern households – especially those with pets, kids, or moisture-prone areas – SolidTech is a more practical choice.
Frequently Asked Questions About SolidTech
How much does SolidTech installation cost?
SolidTech installed pricing varies based on room dimensions, subfloor prep required, and add-on services like furniture moving or old-flooring removal. Typical LVP installations range from $4 to $10 per square foot fully installed depending on the product tier and project scope. National Floors Direct provides free in-home estimates with transparent, no-surprise pricing before any work begins.
Is SolidTech really waterproof?
Yes. SolidTech carries Mohawk’s WetProtect Gold designation, which includes patented Uniclic joints for watertight seams, a fully waterproof rigid core, and a warranty covering both the surface and the subfloor. SolidTech is safe to install in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.
How does SolidTech handle pets?
SolidTech is specifically engineered for pet households. The All Pet warranty covers pet-related damage that most other flooring warranties exclude – including accidents, scratches from claws, and stains. The waterproof construction means urine and vomit don’t damage the subfloor, and the EasyClean surface allows most pet messes to clean up with just water.
What’s the difference between SolidTech and SolidTech Plus?
SolidTech Plus is Mohawk’s premium tier within the SolidTech line, featuring enhanced construction, additional wear layer thickness, and expanded visual and species options. Standard SolidTech is the workhorse of the line – designed for whole-home installations with a strong balance of durability, visual appeal, and value. Both carry the full waterproof and pet-friendly warranties.
Can SolidTech be installed over existing flooring?
In many cases, yes. SolidTech can install over most existing hard surfaces (tile, vinyl, old laminate, wood) provided the subfloor is level and structurally sound. Carpet must be removed first. Our installers assess the subfloor during the in-home estimate and provide exact prep requirements before any commitments are made.
How long does SolidTech last?
With normal residential use, SolidTech is engineered to last 20+ years. Mohawk backs the product with a lifetime residential warranty on the surface, waterproof performance, and pet-related damage. It’s one of the longest-lasting LVP products on the market.
