Gerflor Creation 55 Solid Clic

Gerflor Creation 55 Solid Clic represents a significant advancement in luxury vinyl flooring technology. As a leading name in Gerflor vinyl flooring, Gerflor has engineered this range to meet the demands of contemporary interiors, offering both plank and tile formats to replicate authentic wood and stone effects with remarkable realism. The collection features a diverse palette of designs, from classic oak LVT plank flooring to elegant stone tile effect LVT, ensuring a style to complement any décor. The 4 bevelled edges enhance the definition of each plank or tile, adding depth and authenticity to the finished floor.

One of the standout features of Creation 55 Solid Clic is its innovative vertical clic system. This allows for a floating installation directly over many existing hard surfaces, such as ceramic tiles or concrete, without the need for adhesive. This dramatically speeds up the installation process, minimising disruption and often reducing overall project time – a key benefit for both homeowners and businesses needing efficient flooring solutions. Its rigid core construction ensures dimensional stability, preventing telegraphing of minor subfloor imperfections.

Durability and maintenance are key strengths. The 0.55mm wear layer makes this flooring suitable for moderate commercial traffic (Class 33), including hotels, offices, and retail spaces, as well as demanding residential areas (Class 23/32). The PUR+ Matt surface treatment provides excellent resistance against scratches, scuffs, and stains, ensuring the floor retains its attractive appearance with minimal effort. This easy clean LVT requires only simple sweeping and occasional mopping. Being inherently water-resistant, it’s an excellent waterproof LVT flooring option for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.

Comfort and acoustics are enhanced by the integrated acoustic underlay, which significantly reduces impact sound transmission by up to 19dB, contributing to a quieter and more peaceful environment. Furthermore, Gerflor Creation 55 Solid Clic is compatible with underfloor heating systems (up to 27°C), adding warmth and comfort underfoot. Gerflor also prioritises environmental responsibility; this range is 100% recyclable, phthalate-free, and boasts very low VOC emissions (A+), contributing to better indoor air quality, making it one of the considered eco friendly flooring options UK customers appreciate. Whether you’re looking for stylish wood effect LVT for your living room or robust tile effect LVT for a busy reception area, Gerflor Creation 55 Solid Clic offers a versatile, high-performance, and low maintenance LVT solution.
