About LVT
What is LVT Flooring?
Luxury vinyl tiles — better known as LVT — have transformed the flooring market in recent years, and it's easy to understand why.
LVT is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product that mimics the look of natural wood, stone, or tile with impressive accuracy. Modern LVT is manufactured to extremely high tolerances, with embossed surface textures and detailed photographic prints that make it genuinely difficult to distinguish from the real thing at a glance.
There are two main types of LVT to choose from:
Click LVT
Floats over your existing subfloor without adhesive, making it quick to install and straightforward to replace if needed.
Glue-Down LVT
Adhered directly to the subfloor for a permanent, highly stable installation. Preferred in commercial settings or rooms with heavy furniture.
Why LVT
The Benefits of LVT Flooring
Here's why LVT is one of the most popular flooring choices in UK homes today.
Completely waterproof
Unlike real wood or laminate, LVT is 100% waterproof — ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. It won't swell, warp, or lift when exposed to water or steam.
Exceptionally durable
The protective wear layer resists scratches, scuffs, and everyday wear — well-suited to homes with children and pets, and high-traffic areas.
Convincingly realistic
Genuine surface texture and visual depth closely replicate real wood or stone — at a fraction of the cost of natural materials.
Low maintenance
No specialist cleaning products or treatments. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping is all it takes.
Comfortable underfoot
A satisfying firm feel underfoot and, over an appropriate underlay, a comfortable, cushioned surface to stand and walk on.
Room by room
LVT for Every Room
LVT's combination of style and practicality makes it suitable for virtually every room in the home. It's particularly popular in:
Kitchens & utility rooms
Waterproof, easy to wipe clean, and available in a wide range of styles

Hallways & open-plan areas
Durable enough to handle heavy foot traffic with ease

Frequently asked questions
Is LVT suitable for use with underfloor heating?
Yes, most modern LVT is compatible with underfloor heating systems, though it's important to check the specific product specification and temperature limits. Our team can advise on suitable options.
How does LVT compare to real wood flooring?
LVT offers a very similar visual appearance to real wood at a lower price point, with the added benefits of being fully waterproof, more scratch-resistant, and easier to maintain. Real wood, by contrast, can be sanded and refinished over many years and has an unmatched natural warmth and character.
Can LVT be installed directly over existing flooring?
In many cases, click LVT can be installed over existing tiles, vinyl, or concrete, provided the subfloor is level and in good condition. We'll assess the subfloor during the survey to confirm the best approach.
How long does LVT last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, quality LVT can last 20 years or more. Longevity depends on the product quality and the thickness of the wear layer — thicker wear layers are better suited to heavier use.
Is LVT suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Absolutely. LVT is one of the best flooring choices for wet and moisture-prone areas because it's completely waterproof and unaffected by spills or steam — making it ideal for both bathrooms and kitchens.
