Cheap LVT Flooring UK: How to Get Premium LVT at Trade Prices

If you are searching for cheap LVT flooring, you probably do not want something that looks cheap, you want luxury vinyl tile that looks great, lasts for years, and does not cost a fortune. Especially if you are ordering for multiple properties, developments, or client projects where every pound per square metre matters across dozens of rooms.

The good news is you do not need to overspend. There are excellent cheap LVT click flooring products and low cost vinyl plank flooring available at every price point, from entry-level glue-down tiles through to premium click SPC with heavy-duty wear layers. And if you are someone who orders LVT regularly, a landlord, developer, builder, or designer, there are proven ways to bring the cost down significantly below retail.

This guide covers the best-value LVT available from Grosvenor Flooring, how to choose the right spec for your project, and how our Grosvenor+ programme gives professional and trade buyers access to substantially better pricing on cheap luxury vinyl flooring.

Why LVT Has Become the Go-to Flooring

LVT has overtaken laminate as the default hard flooring for most UK projects, and for good reason. It is 100% waterproof, dimensionally stable, warm underfoot, and available in wood-effect, stone-effect, herringbone, and parquet patterns that are genuinely difficult to tell from the real thing.

For landlords, property developers, and anyone managing multiple spaces, LVT has three practical advantages that matter more than aesthetics. First, it handles moisture, so bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and hallways are all fine. Second, it is easy to clean between tenancies or project handovers. Third, installation is fast, whether you are using glue-down LVT for a permanent finish or click LVT for speed.

The question is not whether to use LVT, it is which cheap luxury vinyl tiles give you the best return for your money.

The Best-value LVT Ranges in the UK

Not all LVT is the same, and price differences reflect real differences in thickness, wear layer, and design quality. Here is how the ranges break down from most affordable to premium.

Entry-Level: Maximum Coverage, Minimum Cost

Nordikka Living is a 2.0mm glue-down LVT with a 0.3mm wear layer. It is the entry point to the Nordikka range and offers clean, realistic wood-effect designs at a price that makes large-area installations genuinely affordable. For rental properties and developments where you need good-looking flooring across multiple rooms, cheap LVT at this level is hard to beat on value.

Textures LVT is a glue-down range with a focus on understated, natural-looking finishes. It is popular with contractors and professional installers who want a reliable product that goes down predictably every time. Like Nordikka Living, affordable luxury vinyl plank flooring in this range is priced at entry-level and available with free samples.

Mid-Range: The Sweet Spot for Most Projects

This is where most professionals land, the balance between a premium finish and a realistic budget.

Nordikka Original steps up to 2.5mm thick with a 0.55mm wear layer. That heavier wear layer means it will handle high-traffic areas, hallways, kitchens, commercial reception spaces, without showing wear for years. It is the range we would point most landlords and developers towards as the best balance of price and durability for discount LVT flooring.

Nordikka Select sits at the top of the Nordikka range with a 0.55mm wear layer and is available in both glue-down and click SPC formats, giving you flexibility depending on the subfloor and installation method.

Elements LVT rounds out the mid-range with a strong design library and competitive pricing. Worth exploring if you want different colourways or finishes from the Nordikka range.

GF Glue-Down LVT is the glue-down range from GF by Grosvenor Flooring, available in 0.55mm and 0.7mm wear layers across plank, herringbone and tile. Because it carries no third-party brand name, it is strong value for a properly specified glue-down floor, with displayed pricing and free samples.

Click SPC: Speed + Value for Multi-Unit Projects

If you are fitting out multiple apartments, rental units, or commercial spaces, GF SPC Flooring is GF by Grosvenor Flooring’s rigid-core click range. It sits within the wider GF LVT range. Named after Cotswold locations, Kingham, Burford, Blenheim, Bourton, and others, this is the fastest-installing LVT format available. No adhesive, minimal subfloor prep, and because it is GF by Grosvenor Flooring’s own label, you are not paying for a third-party brand name. It is one of the cheapest place to buy luxury vinyl plank flooring for professional buyers.

Click SPC is particularly useful for landlords reflooring between tenancies. A standard flat can be done in a day, which means less void time and more rent. Combined with Grosvenor+ trade pricing (more on that below), GF SPC is one of the cheapest luxury vinyl flooring solutions for speed and cost.

Herringbone: Premium Look at Every Price Point

Herringbone has gone from a period-property feature to the most requested LVT pattern in the UK. Nordikka Tromso Herringbone LVT gives you the look in glue-down format, while Nordikka Bodo Herringbone SPC offers click-fit speed for faster installation. Both are priced well below premium herringbone brands, and samples are free. For a full comparison of herringbone options in both LVT and engineered wood, see our cheap herringbone flooring guide.

How to Choose the Right LVT for Your Budget

The single biggest factor in LVT pricing is the wear layer, the clear protective surface that determines how long the floor lasts under foot traffic. Here is a quick rule of thumb.

0.2-0.3mm wear layer is suitable for bedrooms and light-traffic residential rooms. This is where the most affordable LVT sits, and it is perfectly adequate for low-wear areas. Nordikka Living and Textures LVT sit here.

0.5-0.55mm wear layer is the sweet spot for kitchens, hallways, and living areas that see daily traffic. Nordikka Original, Nordikka Select, and Elements sit here. This is the wear layer we would recommend for rental properties and most professional projects.

Do not overspend on wear layer for rooms that do not need it. A 0.3mm wear layer in a bedroom will last just as long as a 0.55mm one, as the traffic simply is not there. Save the heavier spec for hallways, kitchens, and entrance areas.

Why LVT Instead of Laminate?

If you have been browsing “cheap laminate wood flooring” or considering laminate as an alternative to low cost vinyl flooring, it is worth understanding why LVT is almost always the better choice for professional buyers. Laminate looks similar on screen, but it has three serious limitations: it is not waterproof (so bathrooms and kitchens are risky), it is noisier underfoot, and the lifespan is shorter in heavy-traffic areas because the wear layer is just a printed paper protected by melamine rather than a thick protective vinyl layer.

LVT solves all three problems. You get authentic wood-effect or stone-effect finishes that are genuinely waterproof, quieter to walk on, and built to last in commercial settings. The price gap between cheap laminate wood flooring and entry-level LVT has narrowed so much that choosing laminate now means compromising on durability and flexibility to save pennies per square metre.

For landlords reflooring between tenancies, for example, LVT’s waterproofing alone makes it the better choice, as one minor flood or burst pipe in a laminate floor costs more in replacement than the modest premium you would have paid for LVT upfront.

How GF Pricing Compares to Builders Merchants

If you are currently sourcing affordable luxury vinyl plank flooring from national builders merchants like B&Q or Wickes, you are paying a significant markup above what specialist flooring suppliers charge. A typical B&Q or Wickes vinyl plank or tile carries a notable retail markup, whereas the same product, or an equivalent spec from our checkout brands, costs considerably less when bought direct.

Over a full rental property refurbishment, that difference between builders merchants and discount LVT flooring from a specialist supplier adds up quickly. Over multiple properties, it scales rapidly into thousands of pounds of unnecessary spend.

Grosvenor Flooring’s low cost vinyl plank flooring ranges sit well below builders merchant pricing on the same products. Add Grosvenor+ trade pricing on top, and cheapest luxury vinyl plank flooring becomes genuinely competitive with clearance sales year-round.

How Grosvenor+ Gets You Even Better Prices

If you are ordering LVT as a one-off for a single room, the prices on our site are competitive as they stand. But if you are a landlord, developer, builder, property maintenance company, or interior designer who orders flooring regularly, Grosvenor+ is designed for you.

Grosvenor+ is our trade and professional programme. It is free to apply, and once approved you get access to six benefits that make a real difference when you are buying cheap LVT at scale:

Member Pricing is exclusive trade pricing across thousands of products. This is not a token discount code, it is proper trade-level pricing that makes a material difference when you are ordering for multiple rooms or multiple properties. Pricing is account-specific and reflects your order volume and business type.

Ex-VAT Display means all prices switch to ex-VAT once you are logged in, which makes quoting for jobs and managing project budgets significantly easier. No more mentally stripping 20% off every price.

10 Free Samples Per Order means Grosvenor+ members can order up to 10 free samples with every order. That is enough to compare colourways across an entire property, show options to a client, or test against existing fixtures before committing to a bulk order.

Project Tools let you save products into named project folders for each job or client. If you are managing multiple properties or developments simultaneously, this keeps your orders organised and makes reordering for the same spec effortless.

AI Mood Board Matcher lets you upload a mood board, interior photo, or design reference and our AI tool suggests matching flooring from our range. Interior designers and architects find this particularly useful for quickly shortlisting products that complement a client’s scheme. This is an exclusive member feature, so sign up for Grosvenor+ to unlock it.

QR Referral Programme gives every Grosvenor+ member a personal QR code. When your customers or contacts scan it, they get access to your Grosvenor+ discount for 30 days, and you earn 1% of every referred order as store credit. Builders, fitters, and designers who recommend flooring to clients can turn every project into recurring credit.
