Quality LVT from Amtico, Karndean and the other ranges we stock is highly UV-stable and colour-fast, so it resists fading far better than many alternatives even under the intense sunlight a glass roof lets in. It is one of the reasons LVT is our go-to conservatory floor, though as with any floor, blinds or solar-control glass help protect furnishings in the room too.

Not when it is specified and fitted correctly. Glue-down LVT is dimensionally stable across the temperature range a conservatory throws at it and bonding every plank to the subfloor stops it moving. The keys are choosing glue-down rather than click, acclimatising the boxes in the actual room for at least 48 hours and keeping any underfloor heating below 27C.

Click LVT is a floating floor that relies on a perimeter expansion gap to absorb movement. In a conservatory the planks can move two or three times as much as in a normal room, more than the click joint can handle, so a click floor will eventually peak in the middle or pull apart at the seams. Glue-down has no gap or floating raft and stays stable through the full thermal range.

We recommend 0.55mm for premium domestic use and 0.7mm if the conservatory is the main route to the garden, the dog's exit door or a children's playroom. The room sees a lot of grit walked in from outside, so a thicker wear layer than the entry 0.3mm keeps it looking good for longer.

For most conservatories, yes. LVT is warmer and more comfortable underfoot than ceramic, which is genuinely cold for much of the year, it will not crack on the timber-and-slab subfloors most conservatories sit on and it is dimensionally stable through the temperature swings. It matches tile on waterproofing while being warmer, quieter and easier to fit and repair.
