Hello World! Welcome Friends! Domestic flooring has always been a very competitive industry, and the range of different materials can make flooring selection seem like a real challenge. If you are thinking of reflooring your home, or are in the process of building your dream property, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) offers the homeowner a very long list of benefits that are hard to ignore. Of course, in a perfect world, you would simply order the very best hardwood or marble flooring, which despite the very high cost, will last you for many years, but with LVT, you have both the look and the feel of real timber or stone at a fraction of the cost.
The Amazing Properties of Vinyl
Vinyl is strong, durable and completely water resistant, and to add to that, the surface is abrasion resistant and non conductive. Stains are a thing of the past with the latest generation of vinyl flooring, and the soft feel underfoot is similar to what you would experience with a short pile carpet, making it a favorite for all rooms in the house. High traffic areas pose no problems for this amazing material, indeed, many commercial premises use LVT flooring for this reason. Cleaning couldn’t be any easier, and a mop with some soapy water is all it takes to keep your vinyl flooring in tip-top condition, and any liquid spillage is easy to remove by simply sponging it up.
The Sound of Silence
Another great advantage with vinyl flooring is the lack of sound when walking on it. There are no creaks or squeaks with LVT, which cannot be said for a hardwood floor, and providing the flooring had been laid correctly, there is absolutely no movement underfoot. Timber contracts and expands with the temperature and no matter how skillful the flooring technician is, you are likely to have some noise when walking, which is never the case with vinyl. Here is a link to an informative website that looks at the various applications of vinyl, which might just surprise you.
Stunning Finishes
When comparing timber and vinyl, the obvious assumption is that timber beats vinyl hands down regarding appearance, yet this isn’t the case at all. In fact, LVT has the appearance of classic timber grain, which is achieved by adding a high resolution image of real timber boarding, which is then covered with a very thin, protective membrane, and when the floor is completed, you would not be able to see the tile joints and the flow of the grain would be uninterrupted. There are also stunning stone finishes, with marble, limestone and granite being just a few of the options, and the range of timber grain finishes covers the spectrum of natural browns and yellows, allowing you to select something ideally suited to the décor.
Affordability
With the many benefits, you would expect LVT to be anything but affordable, yet in reality, this flooring material is amazing value for money, especially when you consider the durability, and when compared to the cost of real timber or stone, there really is no contest.
A Google search is all it takes to get the ball rolling, and once you make contact with an established LVT flooring outfit, you can explore the many designs and with the experts in your corner, your new flooring will exceed your expectations, and it won’t cost a fortune.
