Is LVT the Best Flooring Choice for Modern Homes?

Looking for a flooring option that combines style, durability, and affordability? Dive into the world of LVT flooring and redefine your living spaces.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a type of flooring that mimics the appearance of natural materials such as wood, stone, or ceramic. It is designed to provide a high-end look while offering the durability and ease of maintenance associated with vinyl flooring. 

Here are some key characteristics and reasons for its growing popularity:

Durability: It is highly resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. Many LVT products come with a wear layer that provides additional protection against heavy foot traffic and daily wear and tear.

Water Resistance: LVT is often water-resistant or even waterproof, making it suitable for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Comfort: LVT provides a softer underfoot feel compared to harder surfaces like ceramic tiles, which can be more comfortable to stand on for long periods.

Low Maintenance: It requires minimal upkeep. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are typically sufficient to keep it looking good.

Preparing the floor before installing Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is crucial to ensure a smooth, durable, and aesthetically pleasing finish. 

The process starts with removing existing flooring and thoroughly inspecting the subfloor for any damage, moisture issues, or imperfections. This is followed by cleaning the surface to eliminate all dust, dirt, and residues. Ensuring the subfloor is perfectly level often requires applying a self-levelling compound or plywood.

Moisture barrier may be necessary to prevent future issues, and acclimatising the LVT to the room’s conditions is critical to prevent post-installation expansion or contraction.

A professional fitter’s expertise is vital because they possess the necessary skills, tools, and experience to address and rectify any subfloor issues effectively. Their thorough preparation ensures the LVT adheres properly, preventing problems like lifting or gaps, thus extending the floor’s lifespan and maintaining its aesthetic appeal. Additionally, professional preparation often aligns with manufacturers’ warranty requirements, protecting the investment and ensuring high performance.

Ready to transform your home with the perfect blend of style and durability? With luxury vinyl tile flooring, you can achieve the look of high-end materials without the high-end cost. Don’t wait – elevate your space with LVT today and enjoy beautiful, resilient floors for years to come.
