Some benefits of LVT include a more sophisticated look than the traditional vinyl tiles. It is a part of “resilient flooring” that includes rubber and sheet-vinyl.

The base layer of this tile is primarily made of polyvinyl chloride, offering stability and flexibility. On top of the base layer is a decorative PVC film.

Features and Benefits

Here are some of the features and benefits of LVT:

• These tiles are durable as well as cost-effective compared to flooring choices including, stone, ceramic and hardwood
• Maintenance of LV is easy. The recommended procedure to clean these tiles is simple damp mopping. It doesn’t require refinishing, regrouting or resealing that is common for hardwood or engineered-wood floors
• LV tiles are easy to install. With the right instructions and tools, anyone can install them at home without any professional help. A simple glue-down system can also be used for installation
• These are flexible, stable and can be easily replaced

LV flooring includes LV tiles as well as planks. These are available in plank form because it imitates solid wooden flooring. Price, style and durability are three important factors due to which these have gained popularity. They look so realistic that people even get specially formulated grout to get stone-like look.

This is especially important if you have children, who really do tend to spill things all the time. With a vinyl floor all you need to do in most cases is wipe it with a damp cloth and it comes up looking as good as new.

Apart from wood and stone looks, you can also get them in different block colours, graphic patterns and popular textures such as indented steel panels and mosaic pebbles. Since these tiles are installed as a ‘floating floor’, they are a perfect option for people who want to keep changing their flooring to get a new look.

Initially, vinyl tiles were used in areas such as laundry room, kitchen and bathroom due to its resistance to water and durability. But today, with the availability of new styles, they are being used even in bedrooms, living rooms and conference rooms.

LVT is also ideal for hospital flooring or any other busy healthcare environment where durability as well as cleanliness is of high importance.

Based on the tile you buy, there are two methods of installing LV. In the first method, tiles stick easily with the recommended adhesive whereas in the second method, no adhesive is required because the tiles have a tape down or interlocking system.

No matter which installation method is used, our staff will prep and lay your new floor using the manufacturers recommended products and applicants for the perfect finish every time.
