Interface LVT – Brushed Lines

Interface Brushed Lines LVT stands out for its understated yet impactful design, drawing inspiration from the delicate grain patterns found in natural brushed wood. The collection features a subtle linear texture that adds depth and character without overwhelming the space, making it an ideal choice for creating calm, minimalist, and modern interiors. Its carefully curated neutral colour palette provides a versatile backdrop that complements a wide array of furnishings and architectural styles, effortlessly pairing with other flooring types like Interface carpet tiles for defined zones or creative layouts.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Brushed Lines is built to withstand the rigours of high-traffic environments. Constructed as a high-performance Luxury Vinyl Tile, it features a substantial 4.5mm overall thickness and a heavy-duty 0.55mm wear layer. This robust wear layer is further enhanced by Interface’s proprietary Ceramor™ ceramic bead coating, which delivers exceptional resistance to scratches, scuffs, stains, and everyday wear and tear. This makes it an incredibly durable LVT flooring option, perfect for busy commercial settings such as offices, retail stores, hospitality venues, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions, as well as demanding residential areas like hallways, kitchens, and living rooms.

A key feature of the Brushed Lines collection is its standard Sound Choice™ backing. This innovative acoustic backing significantly improves sound absorption, reducing impact sound transmission by 16 dB. This contributes to a noticeably quieter and more peaceful environment, enhancing comfort and productivity in commercial spaces and creating a more serene atmosphere in homes. The flooring’s Use Classification ratings of 33 (Heavy Commercial) and 42 (General Industrial) further attest to its suitability for the most demanding applications.

The LVT plank flooring format, measuring 25cm x 100cm, enhances the realistic wood effect and allows for various laying patterns. Interface is committed to sustainability, and the Brushed Lines range reflects this. As part of their Carbon Neutral Floors™ programme, the product incorporates 39% recycled content (including 15% post-consumer recycled content) and is FloorScore® certified for low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, contributing to better indoor air quality. Grosvenor Flooring offers a comprehensive supply and fit service for Interface Brushed Lines, ensuring your floor is installed to the highest standards by our expert floor fitters in Cheshire and Manchester for long-lasting beauty and performance.

Is Interface Brushed Lines LVT Right for You?

Choosing the right flooring involves considering various factors. This guide explores whether Interface Brushed Lines LVT aligns with your specific requirements for room usage, lifestyle, budget, and more.

• Room usage / Location: Interface Brushed Lines is exceptionally well-suited for heavy commercial environments like offices, retail spaces, hospitality areas, schools, and healthcare settings due to its Class 33/42 rating. It’s also an excellent choice for high-traffic residential areas such as kitchens, hallways, living rooms, and dining areas. While the surface is waterproof, it’s not typically recommended for wet rooms unless professionally installed with full bonding and edge sealing.
• Lifestyle: Ideal for busy commercial settings and active households requiring flooring that can withstand heavy footfall, rolling chairs, spills, and potential scuffs. Its high durability and scratch-resistant LVT surface make it suitable for environments with pets or children, offering peace of mind and easy upkeep.
• Budget: As a premium LVT product from a leading manufacturer, Interface Brushed Lines represents a significant investment compared to standard vinyl or laminate options. However, its exceptional durability, longevity, low maintenance needs, and acoustic benefits offer excellent long-term value. Remember to factor in professional installation (“LVT fitting cost UK”) for a complete budget estimate.
• Durability & Maintenance: This flooring is engineered for maximum durability. The 0.55mm wear layer combined with the Ceramor™ ceramic bead coating provides superior resistance to scratches, stains, and wear. Maintenance is straightforward, typically requiring only regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner. It’s a truly “easy clean LVT” and “low maintenance LVT” solution.
• Material Type Pros & Cons:
  Pros: Outstanding durability for heavy traffic, waterproof surface, superior scratch and stain resistance, realistic brushed wood aesthetic, significant sound reduction (16 dB), suitable for commercial and residential use, strong sustainability credentials (Carbon Neutral, recycled content, FloorScore®), easy to maintain.
  Cons: Higher initial purchase price, requires professional installation for optimal performance and warranty, subfloor preparation must be meticulous (smooth, level, dry).
• Aesthetics & Style: Offers a sophisticated, minimalist design with a subtle linear texture mimicking natural wood. The neutral colour palette suits contemporary, modern, and professional interior styles. The large plank format (25cm x 100cm) enhances realism and visual flow.
• Comfort & Sound: Provides a more comfortable underfoot feel than ceramic tiles or stone. The standard Sound Choice™ backing delivers excellent acoustic performance, significantly reducing impact noise and contributing to quieter, more comfortable environments.
• Underfloor Heating: Interface Brushed Lines LVT is suitable for installation over water-piped underfloor heating systems, provided the surface temperature does not exceed 27°C. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and consult with installation professionals.
• Installation: Requires a clean, dry, smooth, and level subfloor. Installation is typically done using the full-spread adhesive method. Due to the precision required for subfloor preparation and fitting, professional installation by experienced “floor fitters Cheshire” or “flooring installation Manchester” teams, like those at Grosvenor Flooring, is highly recommended to ensure warranty compliance and a flawless finish.
• Sustainability: Interface is a leader in sustainable flooring. Brushed Lines is part of their Carbon Neutral Floors™ programme, manufactured using processes that minimise environmental impact. It contains 39% total recycled content and is FloorScore® certified, ensuring it meets strict indoor air quality standards.
