What Is Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring?
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a high-performance flooring product manufactured in plank or tile format. It replicates the appearance of natural materials such as oak, walnut, slate, and marble through high-definition photographic layers encased in clear, durable wear layers.
Unlike traditional vinyl, LVT is constructed in multiple rigid or semi-rigid layers. The top wear layer — typically 0.30mm to 0.70mm thick — protects against scratches, stains, and surface wear. Beneath this, a decorative film provides the visual realism, while the core layer gives dimensional stability and impact resistance.
LVT is one of the most versatile commercial flooring products available. It works equally well in executive offices requiring a premium timber aesthetic, retail stores needing brand-aligned visuals, and hospitality spaces where underfoot warmth and acoustic comfort matter.
We supply and install LVT from leading manufacturers including Polyflor, Forbo, Amtico, and Karndean. Each brand offers distinct collections with varying wear layer thicknesses, installation systems, and design palettes to match the demands of your project.
Key Features & Benefits
LVT offers a unique combination of practical and performance advantages for commercial environments.
Realistic Natural Designs
Modern LVT uses high-definition printing and embossed-in-register surface textures that look and feel remarkably close to real wood and stone. This allows commercial spaces to achieve premium aesthetics at a fraction of the cost and maintenance of natural materials.
Commercial Wear Layers
Wear layer thickness determines longevity. For general commercial use, 0.55mm is standard. For high-traffic retail and hospitality, 0.70mm provides extra resilience. We help you match the wear layer to your footfall forecasts and sector demands.
Water-Resistant & Easy to Clean
LVT's non-porous surface resists water, spills, and stains. Unlike real wood, it will not warp, swell, or discolour when exposed to moisture. This makes it ideal for hospitality, healthcare, and any space requiring frequent wet cleaning.
Flexible Installation Methods
LVT installs via glue-down, loose-lay, or click-system methods depending on the subfloor condition and project timeline. Glue-down provides the most permanent bond for high-traffic areas, while click systems allow faster installation and future replacement.
Compatible With Underfloor Heating
Most LVT products are rated for use with underfloor heating systems up to 27 degrees Celsius. The thermal conductivity of vinyl is excellent, making it one of the most efficient floor coverings for heated environments.

Case Study: Stevenage Retail Park, Premium LVT Installation
The Challenge
A new fashion retail unit required flooring that looked premium, matched the brand's warm natural aesthetic, and could withstand thousands of daily footsteps, trolley traffic, and occasional spills.
Our Solution
We specified Polyflor Affinity 255 LVT in a warm oak finish with a 0.55mm wear layer, installed using a full-spread adhesive system for maximum bond strength. The planks were laid in a herringbone pattern to create visual interest.
The Outcome
The floor has maintained its appearance after 18 months of heavy retail use. The client reported that the herringbone layout has become a talking point with customers, and the surface cleans easily with standard commercial equipment.
