Moduleo

Moduleo stands out in the luxury vinyl tile (LVT) market for its commitment to creating floors inspired by nature that are both beautiful and built to last. Manufactured in Avelgem, Belgium, in a purpose-built, eco-friendly facility, Moduleo floors embody European quality and design innovation. Their collections offer a diverse palette of hyper-realistic wood and stone effects, meticulously crafted to capture the intricate details and textures of the natural materials they replicate. From the subtle grains of oak and pine to the sophisticated patterns of slate and concrete, Moduleo provides an extensive range of styles to suit any interior design scheme, whether traditional or contemporary.

The brand offers distinct ranges tailored to different needs and installation preferences. The Moduleo Roots collection provides versatile options suitable for various applications, available in both Dryback (glue-down) and Click formats. This range allows for creative freedom with different plank sizes and laying patterns, including classic straight planks and elegant herringbone designs. For projects requiring enhanced performance and faster installation, the Moduleo LayRed range is an excellent choice. This engineered vinyl flooring features a rigid core construction and an integrated underlay, making it exceptionally strong, quiet underfoot, and ideal for laying over slightly uneven subfloors without extensive preparation. Its robust nature makes LayRed particularly suitable for renovations and high-traffic areas.

All Moduleo floors benefit from a protective Protectonite PU coating. This advanced layer provides superior resistance against scratches, scuffs, stains, and general wear and tear, ensuring the floor remains looking its best with minimal effort. This makes Moduleo LVT an ideal choice for busy households, homes with pets or children, and demanding commercial environments. Furthermore, Moduleo flooring is inherently water-resistant, making it perfectly suited for installation in moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and entrance halls, where natural wood or laminate might not be suitable. The combination of stunning aesthetics, practical performance features, and ease of maintenance makes Moduleo a popular choice for homeowners and businesses seeking stylish, durable, and reliable flooring solutions.

Sustainability is also a core principle for Moduleo. Their production facility utilises wind energy, and their products contain up to 50% recycled content and are themselves recyclable. Choosing Moduleo means opting for a floor that is not only beautiful and practical but also produced with consideration for the environment. As experienced Moduleo suppliers and fitters covering areas like Altrincham, Manchester, Wilmslow, and Chester, Grosvenor Flooring can provide expert advice and professional installation, ensuring you get the most out of your chosen Moduleo floor.

Moduleo Flooring Buying Guide

Choosing the right Moduleo flooring involves considering several factors to ensure it meets the demands of your space and lifestyle. This guide will help you navigate the options:

• Room usage / Location: Moduleo LVT is highly versatile. Its water resistance makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and hallways. The durability suits high-traffic areas like living rooms and commercial spaces. Consider the wear layer thickness – higher traffic areas benefit from thicker wear layers (e.g., 0.55mm found in some ranges).
• Lifestyle: Perfect for busy households, families with children, and pet owners. The Protectonite PU coating offers excellent scratch and stain resistance, making it easy to clean up spills and messes. Its durability withstands daily wear and tear effectively.
• Budget: Moduleo is positioned as a mid-to-high-end LVT brand, reflecting its quality, design, and European manufacturing. While potentially more expensive than standard vinyl or some laminates, it offers excellent long-term value due to its durability. Factor in professional installation costs for a flawless finish – Grosvenor Flooring offers supply and fit services.
• Durability & Maintenance: Moduleo floors are designed for longevity. The Protectonite PU layer ensures resistance to scratches, scuffs, and stains. Maintenance is simple: regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a recommended LVT cleaner are usually sufficient. No waxing or polishing is required.
• Material Type Pros & Cons:
  Pros: Highly realistic wood/stone designs, waterproof, durable, scratch and stain-resistant, comfortable underfoot, relatively quiet (especially LayRed), compatible with underfloor heating, easy to clean, contains recycled content.
  Cons: Higher initial cost than budget options, requires a smooth, level subfloor (though LayRed is more forgiving), professional installation recommended for best results.
• Aesthetics & Style: Moduleo excels in offering authentic natural looks. Choose from a vast array of wood species (oak, pine, maple) and stone effects (slate, concrete, marble) in various colours, plank/tile sizes, and formats. Options for herringbone and other laying patterns allow for customised designs.
• Comfort & Sound: LVT is generally warmer and softer underfoot than ceramic tiles or stone. Moduleo LayRed, with its integrated underlay, provides enhanced acoustic insulation, reducing noise transmission – ideal for apartments or upper floors.
• Underfloor Heating: Moduleo flooring is compatible with most types of water-based underfloor heating systems. Always check manufacturer guidelines regarding maximum surface temperature (typically 27°C).
• Installation: Moduleo offers both Click system (LayRed and some Roots options) and Dryback/Glue-Down (Roots) installation methods. Click systems are often quicker to install and can be suitable for DIYers with experience, but professional installation by fitters like those at Grosvenor Flooring ensures optimal results and warranty compliance, especially for glue-down types which require expert handling.
• Sustainability: Moduleo floors contain recycled materials, are produced in an eco-conscious facility using renewable energy, and are recyclable at the end of their life. They also meet stringent European standards for air quality (low VOCs).
