Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)

Luxury vinyl tile is a multi-layer resilient floor: a backing, a core, a high-resolution decor film, and a transparent wear layer. The realism sits in the decor and the surface emboss, which register convincingly to wood grain and stone. LVT comes in two broad constructions, and the choice drives everything else.

Flexible glue-down LVT is bonded to the subfloor. It sits tight and quiet underfoot and is a strong choice for large, level commercial areas where a permanent bond is preferred, but it demands a flatter, better-prepared substrate and will telegraph imperfections if the subfloor is poor. Rigid-core LVT (SPC or WPC core) instead clicks together as a floating floor, tolerating minor subfloor imperfections and installing faster.

Both constructions are waterproof at the surface and specified by wear-layer thickness against a use class. As with any resilient floor, the wear layer, not the overall thickness, is what determines how the floor holds up under traffic.

For flat subfloors and permanent-bond commercial installations, glue-down LVT earns its place; where the subfloor is uncertain or speed matters, a rigid-core click system is usually the safer specification. We will help match the construction to the project.
