Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring offers diverse options with multiple tile and plank sizes, various thicknesses, and fitting systems like dry back (glue down), click, and rigid core. It mimics the look of natural materials while being durable, water-resistant, easy to maintain, and suitable for high-traffic areas in residential and commercial settings. With its versatile installation methods and robust construction, LVT provides flexibility in design and application, ensuring a cost-effective and stylish flooring solution that withstands the demands of modern living while offering the aesthetic appeal of wood or stone without the drawbacks.

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring typically consists of multiple layers that contribute to its durability and performance.

Wear Layer: The topmost layer is a wear layer, usually made of urethane or similar materials. This layer provides resistance against scratches, stains, and wear, ensuring the longevity and durability of the flooring.
Printed Design Layer: Beneath the wear layer is a printed design layer. This layer features high-definition prints that replicate the appearance of natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile. Advanced printing techniques ensure realistic textures and patterns.
Core Layer: Some LVT flooring options feature a rigid core layer, often made of PVC or composite materials. This layer provides stability and dimensional strength to the flooring, preventing it from warping or buckling under heavy loads or fluctuating temperatures.
Backing Layer: The bottom most layer is the backing layer, which adds stability and support to the flooring. It may also have features like sound absorption or moisture resistance, depending on the specific product.
These layers are usually fused together through a manufacturing process that involves heat and pressure, resulting in a durable and resilient flooring material that mimics the look and feel of natural materials while offering added benefits such as water resistance, easy maintenance, and versatility in installation.
