How durable is 5mm LVT flooring?

Being a thicker form of LVT compared to other slimmer sets, 5mm LVT is an excellent tile choice when it comes to durability. As we’ve flagged several times already, it’s a great option for use in high-traffic environments in any space of the home, and it’s just one of the reasons why LVT of this type is so popular!

Is underlay needed for 5mm LVT flooring?

While a large number of the 5mm LVT flooring in our range comes with an underlay built into the tiles themselves, it’s always worth checking whether or not your chosen LVT set requires an additional underlay to go with it before making your purchase.

5mm LVT flooring

When renovating the floors in your home, high-traffic spaces naturally require a more durable flooring choice to handle daily wear and tear – a task that our 5mm LVT flooring collection is more than suited for.

Tough and thick enough to withstand the longevity demands of an active hallway, kitchen, or lounge, 5mm LVT flooring makes for a fantastic tile choice for any homeowner looking to install a new floor that will last them for years to come!

Why choose 5mm LVT flooring?

While 3mm LVT and 4mm LVT are ideal for homeowners who want to replace their old floors on a budget, if you need a thicker and harder floor in certain spaces of your home, then going with 5mm LVT is an excellent choice. Resistant to staining and scratches, as well as being totally waterproof, LVT of this thickness can handle anything you throw at it.

Perfect for busy rooms

Although you might be able to get away with using a thin 2mm LVT in a storage cupboard or narrow utility space, when it comes to busier areas in the home, a thicker LVT is an absolute must. Designed to match the needs of such spaces, 5mm LVT is a great option for installing in hallways, kitchens, and other rooms where you know you’ll be constantly walking around them daily.

Suitable for DIY installations

Despite being a thicker form of LVT, 5mm LVT flooring remains as DIY-friendly for those with previous installation experience as any other form of LVT, meaning you can lower the cost of your LVT by laying it down yourself.

Browse all thicknesses of LVT

As useful as it can be to have a thicker LVT in your home, it’s not within everyone’s budget, which is why we offer a range of LVT thicknesses in our collection. From slimmer 2-3mm options to even sturdier 6mm LVT, there’s something for everyone’s budget in our range!
