Our Bristol store stocks a wide range of LVT flooring for domestic and commercial customers across the South West.

The ideal flooring choice in any home, but what is LVT?

LVT, or luxury vinyl tiling, is a growing trend in the flooring world. You may have had an old vinyl or lino floor in your home in the past, but thanks to new manufacturing methods, vinyl flooring is now more durable, versatile and safe than ever. LVT is made from vinyl tiles that have a picture or design printed onto them and are then coated with a protective overlay.

Tiles come in a range of styles and designs and can give a realistic appearance of a range of materials including wood, stone, marble or ceramic. Increasingly popular brands such as Amtico and Karndean are now responsible for a large portion of LVT sales.

Why should I choose LVT?

LVT has increased in popularity because of its many excellent features such as:

It’s extremely easy to clean, although steam mopping should be avoided.
Unlike real wood floors, no waxing or polishing is required
It is very hard wearing, so you don't get the tread wear that you might get with carpet
It doesn’t age over time which means in 20 years, it will look almost as good as it did the day it was installed
There's plenty of choice when it comes to styles and designs, with some bespoke options also available
LVT products come with a long warranty, giving you peace of mind that your purchase is secure

So, where do you start when buying LVT?

The sheer choice of LVT can feel overwhelming, but we’ve prepared some things to consider before you get started.

1. Design - Knowing the style you are going for will make it easier to filter through the options available. Do you want a natural design, something more abstract or 3D patterns or perhaps a vintage look?

2. Supplier - The choice of look can guide you to the best supplier. Harvey Maria stocks vintage style designs, whereas suppliers like Amtico and Karndean are favoured for a more natural effect.

3. Preparation and fitting - LVT requires a different type of fitting to other flooring. The sub floor will need to be prepared to ensure no imperfections show through. LVT tiles themselves are applied with glue, self-adhesive backings or interlocking edges.

4. Price - LVT flooring varies from £25 a sq/m up to around £70sq/m. Your budget will determine which product you choose, but keep in mind that LVT is worth investing in as it lasts for such a long time.
