5MM VINYL LVT FLOORING FAQ'S

What Is 5mm Vinyl Plank Flooring?

5mm vinyl plank flooring is a versatile, durable, and cost-effective flooring solution that features planks of a 5mm thickness. Vinyl flooring (also known as LVT) offers the visual appeal of natural materials, such as wood or stone, while still providing the practical benefits of LVT. The visual appearance of LVT flooring is extremely convincing thanks to the printed design layer.

The design layer gives the flooring its desired appearance using high-resolution printing techniques and offers a wide range of aesthetic options. So, whether you’re looking at hardwood, stone, or tiled floors, you could consider luxury vinyl tiles as a replacement.

Vinyl flooring isn’t all about appearance though as it’s an extremely practical option too. There are multiple layers to LVT flooring and each one has been designed for a specific purpose. The end result is a hard-wearing synthetic floor that is water-resistant and easy to install. Our 5mm vinyl collection even has underlay already incorporated, so you don’t have to worry about the cost of additional products or the time it takes to install them.

Does 5mm Vinyl Plank Flooring Scratch Easily?

Thick vinyl flooring such as our 5mm LVT is designed to be highly resistant to scratches. The thickness of the vinyl plank provides additional durability, making it less susceptible to damage from everyday wear and tear. However, it's important to note that while 5mm vinyl plank flooring is more scratch-resistant than thinner options, it may still be susceptible to scratches from sharp objects, pet claws, or heavy furniture being dragged across the surface.

Is 5mm Vinyl Plank Flooring Waterproof?

Yes, our entire LVT range is 100% waterproof whether you opt for 5mm vinyl or some of our thicker options, you can rest easy knowing your floor will not be damaged by spillages. The waterproof properties of our LVT floors also make them a great choice in bathrooms.

How Long Does 5mm Vinyl Plank Flooring Need To Acclimatise?

As with all our LVT floors, we advise a minimum acclimation period of 24 hours. To achieve this, we recommend laying the flooring flat on the floor of the designated room. This duration ensures enough time for your 5mm vinyl flooring to effectively adjust to the temperature and humidity conditions of your home, guaranteeing optimal performance and longevity.

5MM VINYL LVT FLOORING FINISHES & TREATMENTS

Embossed

Our embossed LVT floors 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

All of our LVT 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 LVTs.

Stone Embossed

The beauty of LVT floors is that they are not limited in terms of appearance. The way that vinyl flooring is manufactured means that you can now have the appearance of 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 LVT that we sell, with more people opting for a budget-friendly option to solid wood flooring each day. Whether textured or embossed, our 5mm vinyl LVT flooring looks particularly impressive, mimicking solid wood very closely.

5MM VINYL 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.

5MM VINYL LVT FLOORING INSTALLATION METHODS

Click Lok System

Our 5mm vinyl LVT flooring uses a Click Lok system; this is a glue-free, interlocking fitting system, which can be laid relatively easily on top of a floating floor. This simple installation method makes vinyl 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 LVT flooring 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 LVT. 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.
