Invictus Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Invictus Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) stands as a testament to innovation in flooring, combining robust performance with breathtakingly realistic designs. The name ‘Invictus’, meaning invincible in Latin, perfectly encapsulates the core strength and resilience of this flooring range. Designed for life’s everyday challenges, it offers homeowners a floor that not only looks stunning but also delivers long-lasting durability and peace of mind.

At the heart of Invictus LVT’s performance is its multi-layered construction. A key feature is the highly wear-resistant top layer, enhanced with Scratchmaster® technology. This unique protective coating provides superior defence against scratches, scuffs, and stains, ensuring the floor maintains its original appearance for longer, even in high-traffic areas or homes with children and pets. This makes Invictus an ideal choice for hallways, kitchens, and living rooms where daily life can take its toll on lesser floors.

Beyond its toughness, Invictus LVT excels in practicality. It is completely waterproof, making it suitable for installation in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms, where spills and splashes are common. This waterproof nature also contributes to its ease of maintenance; simple sweeping or vacuuming, followed by a damp mop with a recommended LVT cleaner, is all that’s needed to keep the floor looking its best. Furthermore, Invictus flooring offers excellent acoustic properties, reducing footfall noise and creating a quieter, more serene home environment compared to materials like laminate or ceramic tiles.

The aesthetic appeal of Invictus LVT is undeniable. The range boasts an extensive collection of designs meticulously replicating the natural beauty of wood and stone. From the warm, intricate grains of oak and walnut effect planks to the cool, sophisticated textures of slate and concrete look tiles, there’s a style to complement any interior design scheme. Advanced printing and embossing techniques create incredibly realistic textures and patterns, making it difficult to distinguish from the natural materials they emulate. Available in various plank and tile sizes, including popular herringbone options, Invictus allows for creative and personalised floor layouts.

Invictus offers distinct ranges to cater to different needs and preferences: Invictus Primus provides excellent value with reliable performance for residential use, backed by a 20-year warranty. Invictus Maximus steps up the durability with a thicker wear layer, suitable for more intensive use and offering a 25-year residential warranty. For those seeking easier installation, Invictus Maximus Click features the same high performance as Maximus but utilises a convenient click-locking system. All ranges are compatible with underfloor heating systems, adding to the overall comfort and appeal of this exceptional flooring solution.

• Room usage / Location: Invictus LVT is exceptionally versatile. Its waterproof nature makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and entrance halls. Its durability and attractive designs also make it perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and home offices.
• Lifestyle: Thanks to the Scratchmaster® top layer, Invictus is highly resistant to scratches and scuffs, making it an excellent choice for busy households, families with children, and pet owners. Its easy-clean surface simplifies maintenance routines.
• Budget: Invictus LVT represents a quality investment, typically positioned in the mid to upper-mid range of LVT flooring. While the initial cost might be higher than budget options like standard vinyl or some laminates, its longevity, durability, and long warranties (20-25 years residential) offer excellent long-term value.
• Durability & Maintenance: Invictus is designed for durability. The strong wear layer and Scratchmaster® coating provide excellent resistance to wear, scratches, and stains. Maintenance is straightforward – regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner are sufficient.
• Material Type Pros & Cons:
  Pros: Highly durable, 100% waterproof, excellent scratch and stain resistance (Scratchmaster®), realistic wood and stone designs, quieter and warmer underfoot than tiles or laminate, compatible with underfloor heating, easy to clean, long warranties.
  Cons: Requires a smooth, level subfloor for proper installation (especially glue-down), can be damaged by very sharp objects or extreme impacts, initial cost can be higher than some alternatives.
• Aesthetics & Style: Invictus offers a vast selection of authentic wood and stone effects, including planks, tiles, and herringbone patterns. The realistic textures and diverse colour palettes cater to various interior styles, from traditional to contemporary.
• Comfort & Sound: Invictus LVT feels softer and warmer underfoot compared to ceramic tiles or stone. It also possesses good sound-dampening qualities, reducing ambient noise and impact sound transmission, contributing to a quieter home environment.

Professional fitting is recommended for optimal results and warranty validation, particularly for subfloor preparation.
• Sustainability: Invictus LVT is designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacement. While specific eco-credentials vary, many quality LVTs are phthalate-free. Focus on its durability as a key sustainable feature.
