Invictus Maximus Click Luxury Vinyl Tile
Discover the exceptional performance and style of Invictus Maximus Click Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), a premium flooring solution designed to withstand the demands of modern living. This range combines stunningly realistic wood and stone designs with outstanding durability, making it a perfect choice for busy households and even commercial environments across Cheshire and the North West.
Featuring an innovative click installation system, Invictus Maximus Click offers a straightforward fitting process without compromising on stability or finish. Its robust construction, including the advanced Scratchmaster® protective layer, ensures your floor remains beautiful and resilient against scratches, spills, and daily wear and tear for years to come.
Invictus Maximus Click stands out in the luxury vinyl flooring market, offering a sophisticated blend of aesthetic appeal and practical performance. As part of the renowned Invictus LVT collection, the Maximus Click range is specifically engineered for areas requiring enhanced durability. It boasts a substantial 0.55mm wear layer, significantly thicker than many standard LVT options, providing superior resistance to scuffs, scratches, and indentations. This makes it an ideal choice not only for all areas of your home, from high-traffic hallways and living rooms to demanding kitchens and bathrooms, but also for moderate commercial use applications.
The secret to its resilience lies partly in the Scratchmaster® top layer technology. This unique coating acts as a powerful shield, safeguarding the intricate designs beneath from the rigours of everyday life, including pets, children’s toys, and furniture movement. Furthermore, Invictus Maximus Click is completely waterproof, offering peace of mind against spills and moisture ingress. This makes it a perfect, worry-free solution for areas prone to wetness, such as bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and entranceways, where materials like traditional wood or laminate might struggle.
Beyond its toughness, Invictus Maximus Click excels in design versatility. The range includes a wide array of authentic wood effect planks and sophisticated stone effect tiles. Whether you desire the warm, natural grain of oak flooring or the cool elegance of concrete or marble, there’s a design to complement any interior style. The planks and tiles feature bevelled edges, adding depth and definition that enhances the realistic appearance of the chosen finish. With a thickness of 5mm, which includes a built-in 1mm underlay, this flooring also offers improved underfoot comfort and sound insulation compared to thinner vinyl options, contributing to a quieter and more pleasant home environment.
Installation is significantly simplified thanks to the Rigid Click system. The planks or tiles lock together securely without the need for adhesive, making the process faster and cleaner. While suitable for competent DIY enthusiasts, Grosvenor Flooring highly recommends professional installation by our expert fitters to ensure a perfect finish and validate the generous 25-year residential warranty (15-year commercial warranty). Our ‘supply and fit’ service covers Altrincham, Manchester, Wilmslow, Chester, Nantwich, and the wider Cheshire area, guaranteeing your Invictus floor is installed correctly for lasting performance.
Choosing Invictus Maximus Click: A Buying Guide
Is Invictus Maximus Click the right flooring for your project? Consider these factors:
- Room usage / Location: Its waterproof nature and high durability (0.55mm wear layer) make it exceptionally suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, living rooms, conservatories, and utility rooms. It’s also robust enough for moderate commercial settings like small offices or boutiques.
- Lifestyle: Ideal for busy households with children, pets, or high foot traffic. The Scratchmaster® layer provides excellent resistance against scratches and scuffs, and its easy-clean surface simplifies maintenance routines.
- Budget: Positioned as a premium LVT, Maximus Click represents a mid-to-high range investment compared to standard vinyl or laminate. However, its longevity, durability, and ease of installation (potentially lower fitting costs than glue-down LVT) offer excellent long-term value. Consider the overall project cost, including potential subfloor preparation and professional fitting.
- Durability & Maintenance: Exceptional durability thanks to the thick wear layer and Scratchmaster® coating. Maintenance is simple: regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner is all that’s needed. It’s highly resistant to stains and spills.
- Material Type Pros & Cons:
- Pros: Highly durable, 100% waterproof, scratch-resistant, wide range of realistic designs, comfortable underfoot, good sound insulation (with built-in underlay), easy click installation, compatible with underfloor heating, long warranty.
- Cons: Higher initial cost than laminate or sheet vinyl, requires a smooth and level subfloor for best results, while realistic, it doesn’t offer the unique variation of natural wood or stone.
- Aesthetics & Style: Offers a vast selection of authentic wood (plank) and stone (tile) effects, from classic oaks to contemporary concrete and marble looks. Suitable for various interior design schemes.
- Comfort & Sound: The 5mm thickness, including the integrated underlay, provides noticeable underfoot comfort and helps dampen impact sound, contributing to a quieter home environment compared to thinner, harder surfaces like ceramic tiles or laminate.
- Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with most types of water-piped underfloor heating systems (ensure surface temperature limits are adhered to – typically 27°C). Always check manufacturer guidelines.
- Installation: The Rigid Click system allows for faster, glueless ‘floating floor’ installation compared to traditional glue-down LVT. While DIY is possible for experienced individuals, professional fitting by Grosvenor Flooring’s expert LVT fitters is recommended for optimal results and warranty validation, especially ensuring correct subfloor preparation.
- Sustainability: Invictus LVT is produced with consideration for environmental impact, often incorporating recycled content and being fully recyclable at the end of its life. Check specific product details for certifications like FloorScore®.
