What Is Nordikka Flooring?

Nordikka is a modern LVT brand engineered to replicate natural wood and stone surfaces while delivering vinyl’s practical advantages. The offering includes both traditional glue-down LVT and rigid-core SPC click systems across residential and light commercial applications. Design philosophy centres on Scandinavian minimalism – emphasising clean aesthetics, neutral palettes and understated finishes suited to contemporary interiors.

Key Benefits of Nordikka Flooring

Realistic Wood and Stone Designs

Planks authentically replicate natural oak and ash with detailed textures and genuine colour variation. Once installed, the visual distinction between quality LVT and authentic wood becomes minimal, particularly in natural tones and wider formats. The Naturals range extends this into stone-effect tile and herringbone parquet, giving format variety from a single product family.

Strong Durability Across the Range

Wear layers span from 0.3mm (Living – entry level) through 0.55mm (Original, Select – heavy residential and light commercial) and up to 0.7mm on the new Nordikka Naturals range – commercial-grade specification that matches or exceeds most premium LVT products on the market, performing reliably in kitchens, hallways, high-traffic spaces and active family environments.

Waterproof Throughout

Like all LVT flooring, Nordikka resists moisture completely. It will not swell, warp or delaminate when exposed to water – delivering clear advantages over laminate and hardwood in moisture-prone spaces.

Very Low Maintenance

Routine sweeping with occasional damp mopping using pH-neutral cleaner suffices. No sanding, sealing or refinishing required – significant practical advantages over engineered or solid wood alternatives. For the full routine, see our Nordikka flooring aftercare guide.

Flexible Installation Options

Available in both glue-down LVT and click SPC formats, accommodating professional installers and DIY projects with varying subfloor conditions. The click SPC format is genuinely DIY-friendly; glue-down is usually best handled by a professional fitter.

Transparent Online Pricing

Every Nordikka range is checkout-enabled at Grosvenor Flooring with per-square-metre pricing visible on every product page. Order samples or buy direct without a phone call or quote-by-email process. Grosvenor+ trade pricing applies across the full Nordikka range for landlords, developers, builders, fitters and designers.

Nordikka Flooring Ranges Explained

Nordikka Living

Entry-level Nordikka Living is a glue-down range at 2.0mm thickness with 0.3mm wear layer, designed for lighter residential use in bedrooms, living rooms and moderate-traffic areas. The entry point into the Nordikka range at the most accessible price.

Nordikka Original

Significant step up – Nordikka Original is 2.5mm thick with 0.55mm wear layer. Recommended for kitchens, hallways and high-traffic spaces requiring genuine durability at accessible pricing.

Nordikka Select

Premium specification with 0.55mm wear layer, Nordikka Select is available in both glue-down LVT and click SPC formats, suitable for light commercial environments plus demanding residential applications.

Nordikka Naturals

Nordikka’s newest and most heavy-duty glue-down range – Nordikka Naturals is 3.0mm thick with a 0.7mm commercial-grade wear layer and is offered across three formats: plank, herringbone and tile. Twenty designs in total – seven wood-effect planks, seven herringbone parquets and six stone-effect tiles – making it the Nordikka range to specify for high-traffic rooms and multi-room schemes that want format variety from a single product family.

Nordikka Click SPC

Nordikka Click SPC uses a rigid stone plastic composite core with click-lock system enabling faster installation and greater forgiveness over imperfect subfloors.

Herringbone Options

Design-forward alternatives include Tromso Herringbone LVT (glue-down) and Bodo Herringbone SPC (click), particularly favoured in hallways and open-plan spaces where flooring functions as a design statement.

How Does Nordikka Compare to Amtico and Karndean?

Distinctions among these brands centre on positioning, range breadth and pricing rather than everyday residential performance. Nordikka’s 0.55mm wear-layer ranges match many premium LVT offerings for durability. Design quality remains clean and realistic. Primary differences include pricing accessibility and transparent online purchasing – Nordikka displays full pricing and checkout processes, while Amtico and Karndean typically operate quote-based models. For a detailed breakdown, read our Nordikka vs Amtico vs Karndean guide.

Is Nordikka Flooring Good Quality?

Yes – especially at Original, Select and the new Naturals specifications. The 0.55mm wear layer on Original and Select has demonstrated strong performance across kitchen, hallway and high-traffic living areas, while Nordikka Naturals at 0.7mm steps into commercial-grade territory. Customer feedback consistently reflects positive responses regarding durability and design quality.

The Living range suits lighter-use rooms adequately; however, households requiring a floor for daily heavy use should consider Original, Select or Naturals rather than entry-level specifications.

Who Should Choose Nordikka Flooring?

• Homeowners desiring design-focused, contemporary flooring without premium-brand pricing
• Active households with children or pets – particularly Original, Select and Naturals ranges
• Kitchens, hallways and spaces requiring sustained durability
• Customers preferring transparent online purchasing over quotation processes
• Those seeking herringbone styling combined with LVT practicality
• Landlords, developers and trade buyers who qualify for Grosvenor+ pricing

Installing and Caring for Nordikka Flooring

One of the strengths of Nordikka as a brand is how forgiving it is to install and live with – provided you follow the correct method for your chosen format. The glue-down and click systems are fundamentally different installations and the subfloor preparation required for each is different too. Getting this right is the single biggest factor in how the floor performs for the rest of its life.

For glue-down formats (Living, Original, Select glue-down, Naturals, Tromso Herringbone LVT), the installation demands careful moisture testing, subfloor preparation and adhesive selection – see our how to install Nordikka LVT glue-down guide for the full method. For the click-lock SPC formats (Nordikka Click SPC, Select click and Bodo Herringbone SPC), the installation is simpler but still benefits from a clear process. See the Nordikka Click SPC installation guide or, for herringbone specifically, the Bodo herringbone fitting guide.

Day-to-day care is straightforward – sweep or vacuum regularly, damp-mop weekly with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid the handful of products (steam mops, wax polishes, rubber-backed mats) that cause most of the avoidable damage. Our Nordikka flooring aftercare guide covers the full routine, including stain removal, environmental conditions and warranty-preservation rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nordikka flooring any good?

Yes – particularly at Original, Select and Naturals specifications. Original and Select carry a 0.55mm wear layer that matches Karndean Van Gogh and Polyflor Affinity 255 on durability. Naturals steps up to 0.7mm commercial-grade specification that matches Karndean Art Select and Amtico Form. All ranges are fully waterproof, low-maintenance and backed by manufacturer warranty.

Where is Nordikka flooring made?

Nordikka is designed around Scandinavian aesthetic principles and manufactured for the UK market. Approved retailers stock the full range with transparent online pricing.

Is Nordikka better than Amtico or Karndean?

Not universally, but competitively at the specification tier. Nordikka Original and Select match Karndean Van Gogh on wear-layer specification (0.55mm) at a lower price point. Nordikka Naturals matches Karndean Art Select and Amtico Form on wear-layer specification (0.7mm) at a meaningfully lower price.

For a detailed cross-shop, see our Nordikka vs Amtico vs Karndean guide.

What wear layer does Nordikka have?

Wear layers vary by range: Living 0.3mm, Original 0.55mm, Select 0.55mm, Naturals 0.7mm, Click SPC 0.55mm. Match the wear layer to the room use – 0.3mm for lighter-use bedrooms, 0.55mm for whole-house residential and 0.7mm for high-traffic and light commercial applications.

The click-lock SPC formats (Nordikka Click SPC, Select click, Bodo Herringbone SPC) are genuinely DIY-friendly. Glue-down formats (Living, Original, Select glue-down, Naturals, Tromso Herringbone LVT) are best handled by a professional fitter – moisture testing, subfloor preparation and adhesive selection all matter. See our Click SPC installation guide or glue-down installation guide depending on the format you choose.
