Frequently asked questions
LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile. LVT flooring is made in planks or tiles that can recreate the look of wood, stone or other materials. It is popular for its design choice, straightforward cleaning and suitability for busy rooms, subject to the specification on the Flooring Superstore product page.
How you lay LVT depends on whether the product is click, glue-down or loose lay. All types need a clean, sound and suitably level subfloor; glue-down LVT is particularly sensitive to unevenness. Follow the fitting instructions for your chosen product for subfloor preparation, layout and fitting.
Sweep or vacuum LVT flooring to remove grit, then mop with a suitable floor cleaner and the amount of water recommended by the fitting guide for your chosen product. Wipe up spills and avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could mark the surface.
The lifespan of LVT flooring depends on its construction, wear layer, installation and level of use. A suitable product that is fitted correctly and cleaned regularly can perform well for many years. Compare the warranties and specifications on our product pages, as warranty terms vary.
LVT can be worth the cost if you want a wood or stone look with an easy-to-clean surface. Compare the price of the flooring and installation: subfloor preparation can make a substantial difference to the total for glue-down LVT. Browse our LVT flooring and check whether your chosen design uses click, glue-down or another fitting method.
