GF LVT vs Moduleo: How They Compare

Moduleo is a well-regarded luxury vinyl brand with glue-down and rigid-core ranges and GF by Grosvenor Flooring covers the same two formats. If you are weighing the two up, this comparison sets them side by side on format, wear layer, availability and price so you can see where they match and where they differ.

Key Takeaways

• Both brands offer glue-down and rigid-core click LVT, so the comparison is a like-for-like one.
• GF Glue-Down LVT and GF by Associated Weavers match Moduleo’s Roots glue-down floors; GF SPC matches the LayRed rigid-core format.
• GF Glue-Down runs 0.55mm and 0.7mm wear layers; GF SPC runs a 0.5mm wear layer with a built-in underlay.
• GF’s main advantages are availability – supplied to order with fast free UK delivery – and a direct-sold price.
• Both are fully waterproof and underfloor-heating compatible.

Format for Format

Moduleo’s Roots collection is a dryback (glue-down) floor bonded to the subfloor and its LayRed range is a rigid-core click floor with a pre-attached underlay that floats over the subfloor. GF mirrors both: GF Glue-Down LVT and GF by Associated Weavers are the dryback equivalent and GF SPC is the rigid-core click equivalent. Whichever Moduleo format you were considering, GF has a direct counterpart.

Side by Side

The specifications are closely matched. On glue-down, GF actually offers a higher top wear layer at 0.7mm, while Moduleo’s rigid-core LayRed edges GF SPC by a fraction at 0.55mm versus 0.5mm – a difference small enough that format, availability and price will decide most purchases.

Where GF Has the Edge

Two things stand out. Availability: GF is supplied to order with fast free UK delivery, which matters if the Moduleo decor you want is out of stock or on a long lead time. And price: GF is sold direct, so an equivalent specification comes without the brand premium and distributor margin. Add full online pricing and up to five free samples and it is easy to compare the two at home before deciding.

Where Moduleo Has the Edge

Moduleo is an established brand with a broad, well-developed decor library and a long track record and its LayRed rigid-core wear layer is a fraction thicker than GF SPC. If you want a specific Moduleo decor that GF cannot match closely, or you value the brand’s particular design library, that is a fair reason to choose it, subject to availability.

The Ranges Compared in Detail

On the glue-down side, Moduleo Roots is dryback vinyl bonded to the subfloor and GF Glue-Down LVT is the direct equivalent. GF actually offers a slightly higher ceiling here with a commercial-grade 0.7mm tier alongside the 0.55mm residential tier, where Moduleo’s glue-down wear layer tops out around 0.55mm. On the rigid-core side, Moduleo LayRed is a click floor with a pre-attached underlay and GF SPC is the equivalent; here Moduleo edges it slightly with LayRed’s 0.55mm wear layer against GF SPC’s 0.5mm. Both differences are small enough that they rarely decide a purchase on their own.

Installation and Subfloor

Because both brands span glue-down and rigid-core, the installation comparison mirrors the format rather than the brand. A glue-down floor from either brand needs a smooth, prepared subfloor, adhesive and an experienced fitter and gives the most stable, seamless result. A rigid-core floor from either brand clicks together and floats over most existing hard floors, which is faster and cleaner to fit. So if fitting speed matters, the choice is really glue-down versus rigid-core, not GF versus Moduleo and both brands let you pick either route.

Decor and Design

Moduleo has a broad, long-established decor library, which is a genuine strength if you want a very particular wood or stone. GF carries the wood and stone decors most homes actually choose with GF by Associated Weavers adding a curated set of oak decors in matched plank and parquet. If your heart is set on one specific Moduleo decor, check whether GF has a close match using the flooring matcher tool and free samples before deciding; in many cases it will, at a lower price and with better availability.

Buyer Scenarios

If the exact Moduleo decor you want is in stock, in budget and you value the brand’s particular design, buying Moduleo is perfectly reasonable and we can supply it. If it is out of stock, on a long lead time or over budget, GF gives you a closely matched specification, supplied to order with fast free UK delivery and sold direct. For a landlord or developer fitting multiple units, the availability and price advantages of GF tend to matter more; for a one-off statement floor in a specific decor, the brand you prefer on looks can lead.
