Rethink Vinyl with Luxury Vinyl Flooring

If you think vinyl flooring is a tacky reminder of the 1980s, think again. The days of thin sheets and ugly colours are long gone. Thanks to innovative manufacturers like Karndean and Polyflor, the material has come a long way in the past few years. The new Luxury Vinyl Tile – known in the industry as LVT – is a younger, fitter model of the ‘cheap and tacky’ vinyl of days gone by, and homeowners are snapping them up.

Thanks to advances in production technology, vinyl can now be produced in a dramatic range of colours and patterns. Some of the most popular styles of luxury vinyl tiles mimic desirable natural materials such as hardwood and stone – without the designer price tag.

Although they might look like hardwood, stone or porcelain, vinyl tiles are much softer underfoot. Its felt or foam backing means it has a little “give”, making for a comfortable surface. In bathrooms, where wet floors can be a slip hazard, vinyl offers a good amount of grip that makes accidents less likely. The softer surface is incredibly durable, and stands up well to foot traffic – even from four-legged friends! It’s easy to clean, almost never stains, and even provides sound insulation.

If you’re looking for a practical, attractive and cost-effective flooring, vinyl could be the perfect solution.
