What To Consider Before Purchasing Luxury Vinyl Tiles
- Durability and Water Resistance: LVT consists of multiple layers, making it highly durable and water resistant. It also offers warmth underfoot, making it suitable for any room in your home, except for stairs, due to its inflexible nature.
- Ideal for Families and Pets: LVT is a favourite among families with children due to its ability to withstand spills and messy playtime. It is easy to wipe clean, restoring its original appearance. Additionally, its scratch resistance and tough exterior make it an excellent option for homes with pets.
- Consider the Room and Usage: When selecting LVT, consider the room and how frequently it is used. LVT is highly wear-resistant, making darker colours ideal for rooms with heavy foot traffic and potential scuffs and spills. Patterned or tiled effect LVT can create stunning feature floors in areas like kitchens and porches, while plainer, brighter colours can make living areas appear bigger.
- Composition of LVT: Luxury Vinyl Tiles are made from synthetic plastic PVC (polyvinyl chloride), created by combining petroleum, ethylene, and chlorine. This combination results in a durable, flexible, and water-resistant flooring material.
- Quality Indicators: Thickness is a good indicator of LVT quality. Additionally, look for LVT flooring that comes with a decent warranty for added peace of mind.
- Underlay for Vinyl: The need for underlay depends on the type of vinyl and the condition of the sub-floor. Consider these factors before deciding whether underlay is necessary for your vinyl flooring.
