Vinyl Flooring

What is Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl flooring is a type of synthetic flooring that consists of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other additives. It can imitate the look and feel of natural materials like stone, wood, or ceramic tiles, with different colours, patterns, and textures. Vinyl flooring is available in various forms, such as sheets, tiles, or planks, and can be laid over different surfaces, such as concrete, plywood, or existing flooring. 

LVT (luxury vinyl tiles) or LVP (luxury vinyl planks) are the best options for homes and businesses, as they have many advantages over vinyl sheets. LVT is thicker and more durable, so it can resist moisture, scratches, dents, and tears better. 

Do You Need Underlay for Vinyl Flooring?

The answer depends on the type and quality of the vinyl flooring you choose. Some vinyl flooring products, such as our Luxury Click Vinyl Floor Tiles, come with a built-in underlay that provides extra cushioning and sound absorption, making them comfortable and quiet underfoot. The built-in underlay also eliminates the need for additional materials and installation costs.

However, some vinyl flooring products may require a separate underlay to enhance their performance and durability. For example, if you are installing vinyl flooring over a wooden substrate, you may need a moisture barrier underlay to prevent the wood from warping or rotting. If you are installing vinyl flooring over a concrete substrate, you may need a thermal underlay to improve the insulation and warmth of the floor.

How to Join Vinyl Flooring

One of the benefits of vinyl flooring is that it is easy to install and join, and different methods allow you to install it yourself. Our LiViT Luxury Vinyl Floor Tiles use a patented i4F click technology that allows you to snap them together without any glue or special tools. This method is fast, simple, and secure, and it creates a seamless and gap-free finish.

Other vinyl flooring products may use a self-adhesive backing, a peel-and-stick method, or a glue-down method to join the pieces together. These methods may require more preparation and care, but they can also create a strong and durable bond.
