Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) Benefits
In addition to their aesthetic appeal and low price point, there are plenty of other reasons why luxury vinyl tile floors are a great choice:
Quiet
Luxury vinyl tile floors absorb sound and are quieter under foot than most hard surface flooring. They offer the look of tile or hardwood without all of the noise.
Warm
Luxury vinyl tile floors are warmer than most natural flooring products making them easy on bare feet.
Durable
LVT floors are hard wearing and will not splinter, chip or crack like their natural alternatives.
Versatile
LVT floors work in a variety of installations and are suitable for just about any room in the home, including kitchens and bathrooms as they are water resistant unlike many natural flooring products. They work well in both residential and commercial applications.
Low maintenance
Apart from requiring the occasional sweep, dust mopping, or vacuuming, these floors are easy to maintain. They don’t require the sanding, polishing, or refinishing associated with other flooring options. In the event that damage is done to your LVT floors, they can be quickly and easily repaired with a replacement tile.
Easy to Install
LVT floors are easier to install than ceramic or stone floors and can usually be installed in half the time of a comparable ceramic tile project. They’re ideal for an inexperienced installer. It is important to note, however, that they still require a full spread adhesive and a proper-sized trowel. Luxury vinyl tiles don’t require grout, but installers can grout between the tiles to create a more realistic look of ceramic or stone for their customers.
