The choice depends on personal preference. LVT is a more hygienic, durable, and easy-to-clean alternative to carpet, which can trap dust and allergens. It is also completely waterproof. While carpet may feel softer, LVT with a quality underlay and underfloor heating can be just as comfortable and warm.

High-quality LVT with a thick wear layer is highly resistant to indentations. However, it is always a good idea to use felt pads or floor protectors under the legs of heavy furniture to prevent any potential marks. This is a good practice for any type of hard flooring.

No, LVT is much warmer to the touch than natural stone or ceramic tiles. Its layered construction acts as an insulator, and when combined with underfloor heating, it becomes a wonderfully warm and comfortable surface, making it an excellent choice for a lounge.
