LVT Flooring FAQ's

What Is LVT Flooring?

Luxury vinyl tiles or LVT flooring is a hard-wearing, synthetic floor, usually made of multiple layers of compressed PVC. During manufacture, LVT flooring is coated with a clear vinyl for added protection, creating a durable, water resistant, rigid tile that’s easy to cut and fit.

There are countless finishes available with luxury vinyl flooring, including wood effect, marble, and stone, with some top layers embossed or textured for added character.

Is LVT Flooring Laminate?

Whilst both laminate flooring and luxury vinyl flooring undergo a compression process, they’re not the same type of flooring. 
 
Laminate flooring typically consists of compressed wood, which is often High-Density Fibreboard (HDF), combined with a laminated top layer featuring a photographic design.
 
Whereas luxury vinyl flooring does not contain any wood. It is a synthetic floor, usually made of multiple layers of compressed PVC. These layers include a wear layer for protection, a printed design layer to provide a realistic finish, and a vinyl core layer for additional stability and strength, followed by built-in underlay for added comfort and sound reduction.
 
Both floors offer stunning wood effect finishes. However, laminate flooring is slightly less expensive but doesn't offer the benefits of being waterproof or having built-in underlay. Hence why luxury vinyl tiles are suitable for bathrooms, whereas laminate is not.

How Is LVT Flooring Fitted

Most LVT floors are installed using the floating floor method. This involves placing the flooring on an existing foundation, rather than adhering it directly to the subfloor.
 
Whilst this method of installation is generally easier to fit, it’s important to level and prepare your subfloor properly to ensure a high quality finish.

Is LVT Flooring Karndean?

Karndean is LVT flooring, but not all LVT flooring is Karndean. Karndean is just one of the many brands of luxury vinyl flooring.
Other brands of LVT flooring are available, including our own Valore range.

Can LVT Flooring Be Fitted In A Kitchen?

Yes. LVT flooring is a popular choice for kitchens as it’s easy to fit, hard-wearing, and water resistant, meaning it will stand up to the day-to-day wear of even the busiest, family kitchens.

With a wide range of finishes available, there are plenty of options for any kitchen style or design.

Can LVT Flooring Be Fitted In A Bathroom?

Yes. LVT flooring is waterproof, making it ideal for any bathroom. As well as this, it’s easy to cut and fit, which helps in bathrooms, particularly where the suite is already fitted, creating different angles and curves.

How To Maintain LVT Flooring

Since luxury vinyl flooring is incredibly hard-wearing it doesn’t require much maintenance. To keep your flooring in top condition, simply sweep it regularly or, for a deeper clean, mop it with soap and water.

Do I Need Underlay With LVT Flooring?

Our luxury vinyl wood flooring comes with a built-in, ultra-thin, durable underlay, so there’s no need to purchase an additional underlay. Simply lay your flooring over a level subfloor and it will feel comfortable underfoot for years to come.

Embossed

Our embossed luxury vinyl tiles are the closest replica you can get to a wood or stone floor, without the cost. The texture produced during the embossing process will follow the pattern in the design image. This makes it incredibly difficult to tell that it has been purposely produced that way.

Textured

Our entire luxury vinyl flooring range is textured to some degree to make it feel and look authentic. Whilst not as apparent as our embossed floors, you’ll find that our textured products are extremely competitive in pricing. In terms of budget-friendly flooring, you really can’t beat our textured luxury vinyl tiles.

Stone Embossed

The beauty of luxury vinyl wood flooring is that it is not limited in terms of appearance. Thanks to the way in which our luxury vinyl flooring is produced, you can now have a stone floor without the cost. So, instead of having cold feet about whether or not to opt for stone, why not consider our cost-effective alternative?

Wood Effect

Wood effect floors are still the most popular type of luxury vinyl wood flooring that we sell, with more people opting for a budget-friendly option to solid wood flooring each day. Whether textured or embossed, our luxury vinyl wood flooring looks particularly impressive, mimicking solid wood very closely.

LVT Flooring Thickness

Board Thickness

Generally speaking, board thickness is a case of personal preference. However, thicker boards do tend to be more hard-wearing and provide a slightly improved sound reduction performance. As well as this, thicker boards are usually more suited to higher traffic areas, where they can withstand greater use.

LVT Flooring Installation Methods

Click Lok System

Most of our luxury vinyl wood flooring range features a Click Lok system for a quick and easy installation. This is a glue-free, interlocking fitting system, which can be laid relatively easily on top of a floating floor. The simple installation method makes luxury vinyl wood flooring ideal for people who are looking to install their flooring themselves. However, it’s important to think about the underlying surface on which your new LVT flooring will be laid. Uneven surfaces make Click Lok much more difficult to install so it's crucial that you prepare the subfloor before fitting. A level subfloor will provide a high-quality finish for your LVT flooring.

Bond Down Installation

The bond down installation method allows you to glue your luxury vinyl tiles directly to the subfloor. Using a strong adhesive, it creates a sturdy finish that won’t buckle under the pressures of daily life. However, you should ensure the subfloor is suitable before considering bond down luxury vinyl tiles. For a successful bond down installation, it is crucial to have a smooth and level subfloor, ensuring firm adhesion of the glue. Once installed correctly, the bond-down method provides exceptional durability and a long-lasting lifespan.
