Why LVT is the Ultimate Flooring Choice

When discussing some of the most popular flooring choices in the UK, there’s one in particular that comes up time and time again. That is LVT, otherwise known as luxury vinyl tiles, which is sold under the brand names of Amtico and Karndean.

Offering the perfect balance of style and practicality, LVT is a brilliant option that can suit practically any room! There’s a good reason why homeowners love it, so let’s take a closer look at its benefits.

Realistic Design and Aesthetic Appeal

What makes LVT stand out is its ability to replicate the look and feel of natural materials. This includes materials like wood or stone – all with stunning accuracy. Thanks to advanced printing techniques, you don’t have to shell out a fortune to achieve a luxurious, high-end appearance. Whether you love the warmth of wood or the sleekness of stone, LVT can be a real game changer. 

Long-Lasting

If there’s one thing LVT is made for, it’s to last. Its tough wear layer makes it incredibly resistant to scratches, stains and dents, even in the busiest areas of your home. We know how much foot traffic a busy household endures. There are the occasional spills too that can wreak havoc on your flooring. LVT is pet-friendly, meaning this flooring can handle it all while maintaining its beautiful appearance for years to come.

Waterproof

On the topic of spills, LVT is beloved for its waterproof nature. Unlike laminate or wood, LVT can be safely installed in areas like the bathroom or kitchen. There is no worry about moisture damage either. This is because it’s designed to withstand high humidity and protect against problems like mould. 

Easy to Maintain

When you lay down new flooring, you want to be assured it’ll stand the test of time and not cause any headaches. With LVT, its protective layer means it resists scratches and stains, meaning everyday messes are no issue. Also, a simple mop or sweep will keep your floor looking as good as new. Unlike wood which requires refinishing, or carpet which traps dust and allergens, LVT stays hygienic. And there’s little effort on your behalf to achieve this.

Comfort and Sound Insulation

LVT not only looks fabulous but feels great underfoot too. Its cushioned layers provide a softness that makes it more comfortable to walk on, when compared to traditional tile or hardwood. It also offers sound insulation. This means reduced noise from footsteps (especially important for homes with multiple floors or busy households). 

Affordability

We understand many homeowners haven’t got an endless pot of money to put toward new flooring. One standout feature of LVT is it emulates the luxury look of hardwood or stone without an eye-watering price tag. This makes LVT an affordable option for any homeowner looking to add style to their property on a budget. Also, because it’s so easy to install, you can save even more cash by opting to install it yourself. LVT’s click-lock or stick-down methods are very simple to handle.

These are just a few of the benefits LVT can bring to your home. If we’ve swayed you into sealing the deal, we have a wide range of LVT options to explore.
