What is luxury vinyl flooring?

Luxury vinyl flooring (LVT) is a durable, waterproof flooring made from multiple layers of PVC with realistic wood or stone effects. It’s designed to mimic natural materials whilst being practical and affordable.

Does LVT scratch easily?

Quality LVT with a good wear layer (0.5mm+) is highly scratch-resistant. Whilst it can scratch under extreme pressure, it’s far more durable than laminate and handles everyday wear very well.

Is LVT Flooring hard to install?

No, click-lock LVT is DIY-friendly. The planks simply click together without glue or nails. Most people can install a room in a day with basic tools.

Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring Cost-Effective?

Yes, it’s excellent value. LVT costs less than real wood or stone, lasts 15-25 years, and requires minimal maintenance. It’s also waterproof, reducing replacement costs from water damage.

Does Luxury Vinyl Flooring need Underlay?

It depends. Some LVT comes with attached underlay. For others, use underlay on hard subfloors for comfort and sound insulation. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
