6.5mm Vinyl LVT Flooring FAQ's
What Is 6.5mm LVT Flooring?
LVT flooring is an affordable and robust choice, designed with care to beautifully mirror the look of natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile. It's incredibly durable and a breeze to take care of. Crafted with several layers, including compressed PVC and a clear vinyl coat, LVT offers the elegant look of real materials without the hefty price tag. This makes it a cost-effective yet sturdy option for your space, giving you peace of mind with its water and scratch-resistant features. It's a practical, yet stylish choice that fits right into your life and home.
Our 6.5mm vinyl flooring, in particular, offers an enhanced, sturdy structure, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas such as living rooms and hallways as well as high-moisture areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. These thicker, robust LVT planks ensure increased stability and sound insulation, providing a comfortable and quiet walking surface. The substantial thickness also allows for a deeper, more realistic texture, enhancing the natural aesthetic and underfoot feel. Despite its thickness, this LVT flooring remains straightforward to install, offering a luxurious and long-lasting flooring solution that marries style with functionality.
Does LVT Flooring Scratch Easily?
Under the right circumstances, any flooring can be susceptible to scratches. However, our 6.5mm LVT flooring is extremely scratch-resistant, making it an ideal choice for busy family homes, or high-traffic areas.
Is LVT Flooring Waterproof?
Yes, all of our LVT floors are 100% waterproof, making them ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. This includes the floors in our 6.5mm LVT flooring range, which come with improved durability and sound reduction as well as the usual benefits you would expect with LVT flooring.
How Long Does LVT Flooring Need To Acclimatise?
Our 6.5mm LVT floors must be acclimatised for at least 48 hours before being installed. Acclimatisation is vital to a successful installation because it allows the flooring to adjust to the temperature and humidity levels of your home.
