Yes. The vinyl plank has no wood content, so it does not absorb water and fitted glue-down with a sealed perimeter it makes a fully waterproof floor. That is why wood-effect plank LVT is the right choice for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and hallways where a real wood floor would not be suitable.

Not easily and the wear layer is what determines how well it resists everyday scuffs and scratches. A 0.3mm wear layer is fine for bedrooms and low-traffic rooms, 0.55mm for general use and 0.7mm or 1.0mm for busy kitchens, hallways and homes with pets. Felt pads under furniture and a doormat at the door protect any floor further.

It depends on the room and budget. The entry ranges are Amtico First and Karndean Knight Tile (0.3mm); the mid-range all-rounders are Amtico Spacia and Karndean Van Gogh (0.55mm); the premium ranges are Amtico Form and Karndean Art Select (0.7mm); and the flagship is Amtico Signature (1.0mm). Match the wear layer to how hard the room is worked.

Yes, oak is by far the most popular wood-effect look, from pale limed and washed oaks through warm naturals to darker smoked and fumed oaks, plus other species such as walnut, ash and pine. Every range we stock carries a broad oak library, so you can match almost any interior.

LVT gives the look of real wood but is waterproof, more scratch and dent resistant, warmer and quieter underfoot and works over underfloor heating and in wet rooms. Engineered wood wins where you want a genuine timber surface that can be sanded and re-finished decades later, in dry rooms where budget allows. We stock both and can spec a project across the two.

Glue-down is the default for new builds, full refurbs, wet rooms and continuous ground-floor runs, giving the flattest, most stable finish. Click rigid-core is the better choice for a retrofit over an existing hard floor that is difficult to lift, or where a faster, adhesive-free fit is the priority.
