Nordikka Original

Nordikka Original sits in the middle of the Nordikka glue-down LVT range. Its 0.55mm wear layer — the same specification as the premium Nordikka Select — makes it a significantly more resilient product than the entry-level Nordikka Living, which carries a 0.3mm wear layer. For anyone fitting flooring in a kitchen, hallway or busy open-plan space, that difference in specification matters in the long run.

The range focuses on natural wood tones — from lighter contemporary finishes to richer, more traditional shades — in realistic plank formats that suit a wide variety of interiors.

Nordikka Original vs Nordikka Living — What’s the Difference?

Both are glue-down LVT flooring with Scandinavian-inspired wood-effect designs, but the specifications are meaningfully different:

• Nordikka Living: 2.0mm thick | 0.3mm wear layer | Light residential use
• Nordikka Original: 2.5mm thick | 0.55mm wear layer | Heavy residential use

The 0.55mm wear layer on Original is nearly double that of Living. In practical terms, this means better scratch resistance, greater durability under foot traffic and longer-term performance in rooms that see heavy daily use. If your priority is bedrooms or light-use living rooms, Living is a solid choice. If you need the floor to work hard every day — kitchens, hallways, family rooms — Original is the right specification.

Why Choose Nordikka Original?

• Heavy-duty residential wear layer: 0.55mm wear layer provides strong scratch and stain resistance — the same specification as Nordikka Select.
• Thicker construction: 2.5mm total thickness gives a more substantial, solid feel underfoot compared to thinner LVT products.
• Glue-down stability: Permanently bonded to the subfloor for a seamless, high-quality finish across larger areas.
• Realistic wood-effect design: Natural tones and textures that work well in both modern and traditional homes.
• Waterproof: Fully waterproof — outperforms laminate and real wood in kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms.
• Low maintenance: Sweep regularly, damp mop occasionally. No sanding, sealing or refinishing required.

Where is Nordikka Original Best Used?

The 0.55mm wear layer makes Nordikka Original the right choice for any room in the home where the floor needs to perform under real day-to-day pressure.

It is particularly well suited to kitchens, hallways, dining areas and open-plan living spaces — all high-traffic areas where a lighter-spec LVT would show wear more quickly. Its waterproof construction also makes it a reliable option for bathrooms and utility rooms.

For homes with children, pets or high foot traffic, Nordikka Original offers the durability to last without the premium price of the Select range. For projects requiring click SPC installation or light commercial use, consider Nordikka Select.

Glue-Down LVT — What to Expect

Nordikka Original is a dryback LVT product, meaning it is permanently fixed to the subfloor using adhesive. This produces a secure, stable and quiet finish that integrates fully with the room. Compared to floating click systems, glue-down flooring sits lower to the ground, feels more solid underfoot and has no movement or flex.

Professional installation is recommended to achieve the best result. Subfloor preparation is key — the surface must be clean, level and dry before laying begins.
