What is LVT made of?
LVT flooring is constructed from multiple flexible layers, designed to deliver comfort, durability, and a realistic natural look:
Wear Layer – A clear, protective top coating that resists scratches, stains, and everyday wear, helping preserve the floor’s appearance over time.
Design Layer – A high-definition printed layer that replicates the look of natural materials such as wood or stone, offering realistic textures and finishes.
Core Layer – Made from flexible vinyl, this layer provides resilience, comfort underfoot, and a softer feel compared to rigid flooring, while still maintaining good durability.
Backing Layer – A supportive base layer that adds stability and may include an attached underlay to improve comfort, reduce noise, and provide additional moisture resistance.
How to choose your style
Choosing the right style is about more than just how it looks—it’s about how it works in your space.

Your space
Think about the size and layout of your room. Lighter floors can help smaller spaces feel more open, while larger rooms can handle deeper tones and bolder styles.

Colour & Tone
Your colour choice sets the mood. Light tones feel airy and modern, while darker shades add warmth, contrast, and a more dramatic finish.

Floor Pattern
The pattern defines the overall look.
Wide planks create a clean, contemporary feel, while patterns like herringbone bring a more premium, design-led finish.

100% Waterproof, Built for Real Life.
Unlike traditional wood or laminate, LVT will not swell, warp, or degrade when exposed to moisture. Its layered vinyl construction is inherently water-resistant, maintaining its shape and performance even in humid or spill-prone environments.
Water-Resistant Construction – Made from durable vinyl, LVT resists moisture and won’t absorb water like natural materials.
Sealed Surface – The protective wear layer acts as a barrier against spills and splashes, making everyday cleaning simple.
Ideal for Every Room – Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and open-plan living spaces.
Caring for LVT Flooring
Preventative Care
Protect your LVT flooring from day one with felt pads under furniture and entrance mats to trap dirt and grit before it reaches the surface.
Gentle Cleaning
Sweep or vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, use a lightly damp (well-wrung) microfibre mop.
Spill & Moisture Control
Wipe up spills promptly to maintain the integrity of the surface and prevent residue build-up, even though LVT is highly water-resistant.
