Is LVT harder wearing than laminate?

Yes. LVT is fully waterproof and has a flexible wear layer that resists chipping. Laminate is more scratch-resistant on hard impacts but can swell if water sits on the seams.

Are dark LVT floors in style?

Dark LVT has been the fastest-growing LVT colour group in the UK for the last 3 years, especially in kitchens and entryways.

Is LVT used in high-end homes?

Absolutely, LVT now appears in premium kitchen and bathroom fits where real timber isn’t practical due to moisture.

What are the negatives of LVT flooring?

Two main downsides: it can dent under sharp point loads (high heels, dropped knives) and the cheapest grades fade in direct sun. Stick to 4mm+ rigid-core in living areas to avoid both.

Can dark LVT go over underfloor heating?

Yes, most rigid-core LVT is UFH-rated up to 27°C. Each product spec confirms compatibility.

How thick should dark LVT be for a kitchen?

4–5mm rigid-core (SPC) with at least a 0.3mm wear layer for a 5–10 year residential warranty.

Why choose dark LVT flooring?

Dark LVT gives you the visual depth of stained hardwood with none of the maintenance. It’s 100% waterproof, takes everyday family wear without scratching, and installs over almost any subfloor. The textured wear layer is what sets premium dark LVT apart — it catches light the way real timber would, so the floor doesn’t look flat in low light.

The two questions we hear most:

Click vs glue-down? Click is faster (DIY-able) and easier to lift if a board fails. Glue-down is rock-solid underfoot, used in commercial fits, and slightly cheaper per m².
Will dark LVT show dust? Yes, more than mid-tone floors, but micro-textured surfaces (most of our range) reduce visible dust significantly compared to gloss vinyl.

Choose 4mm+ rigid-core (SPC) for kitchens and high-traffic zones, or 2.5mm dryback if you’re laying over underfloor heating. Compare with our wider LVT collection or step up to dark engineered wood.
