LVT is a hard-wearing flooring material made primarily from PVC. It's constructed in layers, including a protective wear layer, a high-resolution design layer that mimics natural materials like wood or stone, a core layer for stability, and often a backing layer. It offers the aesthetic appeal of natural materials with enhanced durability and practicality.

Yes, LVT itself is inherently waterproof, thanks to its PVC construction. This makes it an excellent choice for areas prone to moisture and spills, such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and basements. While the tiles/planks are waterproof, correct installation is crucial to prevent water from seeping through seams to the subfloor, especially with click systems.

Most products are compatible with water-piped underfloor heating systems. However, it's essential to check the specific manufacturer's instructions for the chosen LVT product regarding maximum surface temperature (usually around 27°C) and installation guidelines to ensure compatibility and maintain the warranty.

It is known for its durability. Its resilience comes from the protective top wear layer, which resists scratches, scuffs, stains, and dents. The thickness of this wear layer (measured in millimetres) generally indicates its level of durability, with thicker layers being more suitable for high-traffic areas in homes or commercial settings.
