Types of Vinyl Plank Flooring

Luxury Vinyl Planks and Tiles (LVT) are a relatively new technology in vinyl flooring. Made up of multiple layers starting with a base of PVC, topped with a fill layer for thickness and dimensional stability. Overtop of this lays a photographic image that replicates the wood, ceramic and stone designs. On top of this photographic print, a clear vinyl wear layer is applied to protect the plank or tile for durability.

There is a wide variety of qualities of vinyl planks and vinyl tiles. Some ranges have the texture of wood or stone with grooves and embossing, truly replicating the look and feel of the raw material.

Is vinyl plank flooring waterproof?

Thinner and lighter than timber, ceramic tiles and laminate, LVT flooring combines the natural look of real wood or stone flooring and is warmer, quieter and softer underfoot and can be installed where natural products wouldn’t be suitable

Durable and resilient vinyl plank flooring isn’t 100% waterproof, but it is
water-resistant to splashes and spills and also highly stain resistant, making it a popular flooring type throughout the family home.

LVT vinyl plank is a popular flooring option offering the visual appeal of more expensive floating floors for a fraction of the cost helping you achieve realistic timber or stone look floors.

LVT offers a level of customisation that sheet vinyl cannot. With it being individual planks it is possible to lay the planks on a 45-degree angle or to use them in a boarder fashion.

LVT flooring is very easy to keep clean with regular sweeping, vacuuming and damp mopping, making it a hassle free option for busy households and those seeking a low maintenance home.

Premium LVT takes this versatile flooring to another level, with higher sound absorbing qualities making for a quieter home – some even have anti microbial and surfaces where the picture film is registered to the wear layer for increased realism.

Where should I use LVT flooring in my home?

Luxury vinyl is a great flooring option for any room in the house. Its water-resistant properties mean it will stand up to quite a lot of moisture, although like many flooring products you wouldn’t want to drench it. Vinyl is an ideal flooring product to provide a continuous, seamless stone or timber look throughout the home without busting the budget.
