Nordikka Flooring Review – Is It Any Good?

Nordikka has emerged as one of the fastest-expanding luxury vinyl tile brands in the UK market, merging Scandinavian design principles with practical durability. As homeowners seek alternatives to established brands like Amtico and Karndean, Nordikka presents itself as a competitive option offering comparable aesthetics at more accessible price levels.

Grosvenor Flooring serves as an approved UK online retailer for Nordikka, stocking bestselling ranges in both their physical showroom and online platform. This assessment draws from hands-on experience with their full product line, customer testimonials, and observed performance in residential settings.

What is Nordikka Flooring?

Nordikka represents 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 centers 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.

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 — a 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; gluedown is usually best handled by a professional fitter.

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.

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 and Select ranges
• Kitchens, hallways, and spaces requiring sustained durability
• Customers preferring transparent online purchasing over quotation processes
• Those seeking herringbone styling combined with LVT practicality

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 gluedown 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 gluedown formats (Living, Original, Select gluedown, Tromso Herringbone LVT), the installation demands careful moisture testing, subfloor preparation and adhesive selection — see our how to install Nordikka LVT gluedown 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.
