LUXURY VINYL FLOOR TILES

We are often asked what is LVT and how is it different to laminate flooring. LVT is typically made from various layers of synthetic materials. The exact composition can vary between manufacturers, but commonly, LVT is composed of the following layers:

  1. A Wear Layer: This is the topmost layer is usually a transparent wear layer made of polyurethane or another protective material. It is this layer that determines the level of resistance to scratches, stains, and general wear.
  2. Printed or Decorative Layer: This layer provides the printed design that gives the LVT its appearance. It can mimic natural materials such as wood, stone and tiling tile but can also come in a variety of shades, patterns and colours often with a new range coming out each year depending on what deign trend in vogue at the time.
  3. Vinyl Core Layer: The vinyl core layer provides durability and stability to the flooring. It is usually made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resin mixed with other additives to enhance strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability.
  4. Backing Layer: The backing layer is typically made of PVC or other materials and provides additional support and stability to the LVT.


A number of manufacturers may include additional layers, such as a sound-absorbing underlayment or an extra adhesive layer for easy installation or other elements that provide some 'unique feature' to try and differentiate its range. The most popular being Karndean and we are proficient Karndean floor fitters so nothing to warry about on that account. Commercial LVT will have an enhanced wear layer and is an excellent choice for commercial premises.

If you do have any particular brands or characteristics that are important to you and your selection, please share them with us so we can assist you in specifying the LVT suitable for you. Ideally if you could share some of your initial design thoughts we can narrow down the selection we bring to you for review otherwise you may find it very hard to come to a final decision!

  • How do you clean and maintain LVT flooring?

    Cleaning and maintaining LVT flooring is relatively easy and requires regular care. Here are some simple steps keep it looking pristine:


    For any flooring it is always good practice to wipe up any spills Immediately.

    For spot loose bits of dirt these can simply be swept up with a dust pan and brush or if the vacuum cleaner is out (with a hard floor attachment or setting on) keeping these off the floo prevents scratches that may occur if simone was to tread these into the floor.

    For a more thorough overall clean simply mix a mild cleaner (ideally specifically formulated for vinyl/LVT floors) with warm water. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dilution ratios.

    Dampen a mop or microfiber cloth with the solution and thoroughly wring out excess water to avoid excessive moisture on the LVT floor.

    Gently mop the floor, paying attention to any spills, stains, or high-traffic areas. Do not use excessive force or scrubbing, as it may damage the surface.

    Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners ot tool such as steel wool, scouring pads, or brushes with stiff bristles as they may damage the flooring or cause scratches.

    As a preventative measure fitting potective pads under the legs of heavy furniture will prevent them from scratching the floor when moved.

    Where practical use entryway mats or rugs near exterior entrances to trap dirt, sand, and moisture. This prevents them from being tracked onto the LVT floor. Ideally minimise exposure to direct sunlight and extreme heat.

    Periodic deep cleaning with a specific LVT cleaning product or using a professional cleaner will keep your LVT flooring looking clean, vibrant, and in great condition for years to come.
