LVT stands for Luxury Vinyl Tile. It is a multi-layer flooring material designed to recreate the appearance of natural wood or stone. Each plank or tile is made from flexible vinyl layers with a protective wear surface on top. The structure keeps the floor durable while maintaining a comfortable, slightly cushioned feel underfoot.
Yes, LVT flooring is waterproof. Many designs include a rigid PVC or SPC core and a protective wear layer that resists moisture. This construction allows LVT to perform well in rooms where water exposure is more common.
LVT flooring feels warmer and quieter underfoot than ceramic or porcelain tiles. The layered construction provides a slightly cushioned feel while helping to reduce sound within the room. Many ranges also include an integrated underlay that improves comfort and acoustic performance.
Many LVT floors, such as ours, are designed with click systems that make installation straightforward. Planks or tiles can often be cut with a utility knife and fitted without specialist tools. Our ranges also include integrated underlay, which helps simplify the fitting process even further.
LVT flooring is easy to maintain with simple routine care. Regular vacuuming or sweeping removes dust and debris, while occasional cleaning with a damp mop keeps the surface looking fresh. Avoid steam mops, as high heat can affect adhesives or locking systems. For stubborn stains, our LVT and Laminate Cleaner is specifically designed to lift marks and keep your floors looking their best.
