Luxury Vinyl Tiles or LVT Flooring has rapidly become one of the most popular flooring choices in today’s market for both residential and commercial spaces. Introduced as a more premium alternative to sheet vinyl to mimic popular premium flooring types such as solid wood, stone and ceramic. Its multilayer design has stood up to the test of time providing a durable, practical solution without compromising on aesthetics.
There are a whole host of benefits to LVT flooring and we will discuss what makes LVT appealing below.
Natural Looking –
Natural designs which mimic natural materials like wood, stone and ceramic. LVT flooring comes in a huge range of colours, textures and finishes, allowing you to get the desired finish you are looking for.
Easy Installation –
LVT is easy to install and can even be installed over existing flooring. Many LVT brands offer simple click-lock or glue-down options.
Low Maintenance –
Once installed, LVT flooring requires little maintenance. A simple regular sweep and occasional mop will keep your floor looking pristine.
Water Resistant –
One of LVT’s main selling points are its water resistance with some LVT options being 100% waterproof. This means that LVT is a great choice for bathrooms and kitchens. Allowing you to install wood flooring in areas where you previously wouldn’t be able to. You don’t have to worry about lifting, swelling or warping.
Hardwearing –
LVT is incredibly hard wearing offering scratch and stain resistance. LVT is built to withstand everyday use which makes it particularly useful for heavy traffic areas like hallways. Due to it’s multi-layer composition there are a variety of durability levels ranging from 10 year to lifetime warranties.
Warm Underfoot –
Due to LVT’s composition it makes it inherently warm underfoot. In contrast to hard stone or wood flooring which can be cold and un-welcoming, LVT feels soft and warm underfoot. Plus, LVT is designed to work in combination with underfloor heating for the ultimate solution in warm flooring.
