Yes, LVT is generally preferred for kitchens because it is 100% waterproof, whereas laminate can be susceptible to moisture damage and swelling if spills are not cleaned up immediately.

For the best results and to ensure your warranty remains valid, the subfloor should be clear, level, and dry. Our fitting team usually recommends removing old flooring and applying a smoothing compound before laying LVT.

High-quality LVT from brands like Amtico and Karndean can last 25 to 35 years in a domestic setting, with many ranges offering lifetime guarantees when installed by an approved partner like Grosvenor Flooring.

While no floor is completely scratch-proof, LVT features a tough protective wear layer that is highly resistant to scratches and scuffs, making it one of the most pet-friendly flooring options available.

Cleaning is simple; just sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit, and use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for luxury vinyl floors to maintain the surface finish.
