What is LVT flooring?

LVT flooring is a state-of-the-art flooring solution comprising multiple layers of PVC vinyl and calcium carbonate. These layers are carefully compressed by a special heated rolling process known as ‘calendering’. The tough vinyl sheets are then dried with heat and air, and finished with a top layer typically featuring an embodied finish. It’s this finish that helps manufacturers achieve a realistic aesthetic that mimics natural flooring materials like wood and stone.

To ensure LVT flooring delivers a lasting practical flooring solution, four core layers are bonded together during the manufacturing process:

• Backing layer: a textured underside of click vinyl tile which acts as a sound-absorbing layer
• Fill layer: PVC and calcium carbonate layers which are heated and rolled together to form a stable core
• Print layer: a laminate printed finish which gives luxury vinyl flooring its realistic design, imitating the appearance of natural stone or hardwood
• Wear layer: a clear top coat which protects the LVT flooring from damage and expands its lifespan
