LVT Flooring
At first, LVT appears exactly like real wood or tile flooring. However, LVT (luxury vinyl tiles) are made up of multiple layers – an underlay, a PVC vinyl core, a wear layer and a UV coating. Its structure is designed to mimic the look and texture of real wooden or tile flooring, but with the benefits of vinyl flooring. It’s a popular choice for households who want stylish flooring without the high cost or maintenance requirements.
Why Should I Install LVT Flooring?
You’ll most likely find LVT flooring in kitchens, bathrooms, offices and schools. This is because LVT has many fantastic benefits, which you won’t find in any other type of flooring.
Some of these benefits include:
Durability – thanks to its PVC vinyl core, it is able to withstand everyday footfall. It will not scratch as easily as real wood and it will not crack like tiles will. The UV coating will also prevent colour fade.
Waterproof – Ideal for kitchens and bathrooms as spilled liquids can be cleaned up easily without causing water damage to the surface.
Low Maintenance – Doesn’t require harsh cleaning products or expensive services such as professional hardwood cleaning. All that is required is regular brushing and mopping to keep it clean and shiny.
Soft Underfoot – if an item drops on a real wood or tile flooring, it could leave a mark or a crack, LVT is softer underfoot and acts as a cushioning effect, meaning less damage can be done. Additionally, it’s more comfortable and better for your feet to walk on a cushioned surface.
