What is luxury vinyl flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring is a durable, water-resistant flooring solution made from high-quality PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It beautifully replicates the look of natural materials like wood and stone, and is available in planks or tiles. Perfect for any space, vinyl flooring combines style and functionality with ease.
What are the benefits of vinyl flooring?
Luxury vinyl flooring offers numerous advantages, including impressive durability, water resistance, and low maintenance. With a wide selection of colours, textures, and styles, it’s a versatile and elegant choice for any room. Whether you're transforming a busy kitchen or a quiet bedroom, vinyl flooring delivers both beauty and practicality.
Is vinyl flooring waterproof?
Yes, many of our luxury vinyl flooring options are fully waterproof, making them the perfect choice for moisture-prone areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Always check the product specifications for precise details on water resistance to ensure it fits your needs.
What are the different types of vinyl flooring installation?
We offer several installation methods to suit your project needs, whether you prefer a professional installation or something more DIY-friendly.
Dryback (Glue-Down): This method requires adhesive to secure the vinyl directly to the subfloor, providing a stable and permanent solution ideal for high-traffic areas or large spaces.
Floating Installation (Flex Pro Pure): The Flex Pro Pure system uses an advanced floating floor method, where the planks lock together without adhesive. It’s quick to install, offers great stability, and has excellent sound-dampening qualities, making it a favorite for DIY installations.
Click System: This installation method features an easy-to-use interlocking system that clicks planks into place without the need for glue or nails. It’s perfect for those looking for a fast and hassle-free DIY project with a polished, professional result.
How do I maintain and clean vinyl flooring?
Luxury vinyl floors are low-maintenance and easy to care for. Regular sweeping or vacuuming keeps dirt at bay, while occasional cleaning with a damp mop and mild detergent will maintain its beauty. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the surface.
How long does luxury vinyl flooring last?
With proper care, luxury vinyl flooring can last between 10 to 20 years, depending on the product and its usage. Our premium ranges, with advanced wear layers, are designed for long-lasting durability, keeping your floor looking beautiful for years.
Is luxury vinyl flooring eco-friendly?
Yes, our vinyl flooring options are crafted with sustainability in mind. Many of our products are made from recycled materials and can be recycled again at the end of their life. Our luxury vinyl flooring is a excellent option if you want to look for options with low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions for a healthier indoor environment.
What’s the difference between vinyl plank and vinyl tile flooring?
Luxury vinyl plank flooring mimics the elegant look of hardwood, while vinyl tile flooring replicates the timeless beauty of ceramic or stone tiles. The key difference lies in shape—planks are long and rectangular, while tiles are square. Both options provide the same durability and ease of maintenance.
How do I choose the right vinyl flooring for my home?
When selecting vinyl flooring, consider the specific needs of each room. Think about the room’s purpose (e.g., high-traffic area, moisture exposure), and choose the style, texture, and colour that best complements your home’s décor. Also, be sure to choose the right thickness and wear layer for your floor’s requirements.
Does vinyl flooring require underlayment?
Luxury vinyl flooring typically doesn’t require underlayment, but it can be helpful in some situations. For example, underlayment can improve comfort, reduce sound, and address minor subfloor imperfections. The LayRed rigid click collection has built-in backing that provides cushioning and sound absorption, so underlayment isn’t needed. Similarly, Roots & Moods glue-down generally doesn’t require underlayment unless you want extra soundproofing or thermal insulation. You might consider underlayment if you need to improve sound insulation, level the subfloor, or add extra comfort underfoot.
