LVT Flooring Pros and Cons

Well-known for durability and versatility, these stone-look and wood-look flooring systems are available in multiple finishes, ensuring just the look that’s wanted. Extremely high quality and low maintenance make these an excellent investment. Additionally, they are an economical choice. Install these at a saving per square foot when compared to natural wood and stone flooring options.

These can actually make the building healthier and safer. Some LVT products incorporate Nano Silver anti-bacterial technology to make the facility safer from bacteria, staph, E. coli, viruses like rhinovirus, and molds.

The tiny particles of Nano Silver are added into them, making for antimicrobial protection. The silver particles inhibit the growth of bacteria.

Most of the luxury vinyl tiles that we offer are designed for permanent installations with adhesive. Please note the importance of using a proper underlay with this type of flooring.

Some of the advantages are:

1. Helps stop the spread of disease
   
2. Saves time and energy on upkeep
   
3. Unbeatable 10- and 25-year warranties
   
4. Choose from a variety of popular finishes to get just the right look

Peel and Stick Vinyl Tile

As an alternative to the adhesive types of installations, our peel-and-stick vinyl flooring works nicely. They are easy to install and can be laid on any hard, flat surface. These feature a self-sticking vinyl floor tile backing, so no additional adhesives are required.

If you're looking for a quick layout, then consider these self-adhesive tiles. Pull away the protective paper and push them into place over your subfloor.

These are moisture- and water-resistant. In fact, they will not expand like laminate does when exposed to moisture. These feature a wear-resistant surface, giving them excellent durability and ensuring the stone visuals continue to look great. They're easy to clean too. Just damp mop them with a common household floor cleaner.

Pick from these finish options:

1. Burnt Stone
   
2. Copperfield Stone
   
3. Pewter Stone
   
4. Portabello Stone

Underlayment Options

Subfloor imperfections will show through a thin style more readily than thick or modular vinyl tiles. Therefore, it's important to invest in well-built underlayments and to make sure that the subfloor is level and free of holes or other imperfections before putting them down. We stock a variety of appropriate underlayments.

Ours are a popular option for home, dormitory, apartment, and business applications. Our rubber and cork underlayments help to hide minor subfloor defects, yielding a smooth surface on which to lay it out. The underlayment provides thermal comfort so that they feel warmer underfoot and also helps to improve the overall comfort of the floors at the end of your home improvement project.

Thicker underlays can be installed over the majority of existing hard surfaces, but they can also be placed over moderately cracked or damaged subfloors without requiring the time to patch them. This helps at rental properties, greatly saving time.

If you don't want to deal with a separate underlayment, interlocking or modular LVT floors may be a better option. We offer foam-backed interlocking vinyl flooring squares and snap-together luxury vinyl flooring with a raised plastic base. Both are great for fast or temporary installations. They also offer thermal benefits not found in thinner varieties of vinyl laminate flooring.

FAQ LVT Flooring Q&A

What is LVT flooring?
LVT tile is short for luxury vinyl tile flooring. There are a number of reasons to select LVT luxury vinyl tiles, including:

1. Receive products resembling luxurious hardwood or stone natural materials at a fraction of the cost
   
2. Easier maintenance than real wood or stone
   
3. Simple installation and can even be a DIY project
   
4. Replace a single damaged piece, rather than having to replace the entire floor
   
5. Durable wear layer that’s made for high-traffic areas

Is LVT flooring better than laminate or tiles?
Commercial luxury vinyl flooring creates a design that resembles actual hardwoods, stones, or ceramic tile and plank looks. Laminates are inexpensive, but they consist of fiberboard bases that may absorb a bit of moisture.

Yes. Installations are easy, and many options are backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty. Advantages include:

1. Install requires no extra adhesive
   
2. These will not expand in dampness
   
3. Receive the exact style that’s desired
   
4. Durability

How long does a commercial LVT flooring installation last?
These are some of the best that money can buy. They come with long warranties. This is a high-end product that makes an excellent addition to a project.

What are the disadvantages of vinyl planks?
Some inexpensive kinds of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) can have thin wear layers that show scratches. If they do not have UV protection, they will eventually fade. At Greatmats, we have high-quality units that will deliver the longest-lasting results.
