Vinyl Flooring (LVT)

Vinyl flooring is a synthetic material made from additives such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride). 

Made up of various layers, this floor is highly durable and can mimic natural materials such as wood, stone, and ceramic tiles.

Vinyl flooring has various benefits, including water resistance, ease of maintenance, and great durability. 

This makes it popular for rooms with high moisture exposure, such as bathrooms and kitchens. It’s also an affordable flooring option whilst offering comfort, style, and longevity.

Vinyl flooring can last anywhere between 5 to 25 years. 

However, the lifespan of your flooring will depend on how well it’s maintained, the amount of foot traffic, and the quality of the material.

Vinyl and laminate are both great options, and the better choice comes down to preference. 

However, if you’re looking for a water-resistant or waterproof floor, Vinyl is the better choice. Laminate flooring warps when exposed to water, making it unsuitable for bathrooms and kitchens.

Yes, vinyl flooring is highly versatile, making it perfect for living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways. 

Regularly sweep and vacuum your vinyl flooring to remove any dirt or grime. 

When mopping, use a mild cleaning solution and avoid harsh or abrasive scrubbing tools. Placing down rugs or doormats is also beneficial to avoid dents and scuffs from shoes or furniture.

Cost-effective:
LVT flooring is a more affordable option for an authentic finished look. This floor simulates the appearance of natural materials such as stone and wood, at a much cheaper price. It’s a win-win.

Durability:
Vinyl LVT is made from strong, durable materials that are made to combat scratches, scuffs, dents, and everyday wear and tear. This makes it the perfect option for busy households, and high-traffic rooms such as kitchens. There will
be no need for replacements for many years if you invest in a vinyl floor.

Versatility:
These floors are designed to be installed atop many surfaces, such as plywood, concrete, and existing floors. This makes the installation process much simpler, and with easy click-lock systems and floating floor options, this is the perfect choice for DIY home installations.

If you're placing vinyl plank flooring over a cushion-backed floor or a
below-grade tile floor, you won't need to install underlayment. 

Underlayment is required for other applications, such as installing vinyl
over existing hardwood floors, concrete floors, and uncushioned vinyl flooring.
