Why Choose LVT Flooring?

LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring has become one of the most popular choices among homeowners and commercial clients in London, and for good reason. It combines the visual appeal of natural materials like wood and stone with exceptional performance and practicality. Whether you're upgrading your kitchen, renovating a bathroom, or flooring an entire commercial space, LVT is a smart, modern choice that balances style with functionality.

• Durable and water-resistant – LVT is built to withstand everyday wear and tear, including scratches, spills, and heavy foot traffic. Its waterproof surface makes it ideal for areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and utility rooms.
• Realistic and stylish designs – Available in a vast array of finishes, including wood plank, herringbone, tile, marble, and concrete effects, LVT allows you to achieve the look of luxury materials without the high maintenance or cost.
• Compatible with underfloor heating – Thanks to its dimensional stability, LVT is perfectly suited for homes with underfloor heating systems, offering consistent warmth and comfort underfoot without risk of warping or damage.
• Low maintenance and easy cleaning – LVT doesn’t require special treatments. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping are enough to keep it looking like new. It’s also resistant to stains, dents, and fading.
• Comfort and acoustic insulation – Unlike tiles or stone, LVT is softer and warmer underfoot. It can also reduce impact noise, making it ideal for upper-floor flats or busy family homes.
• Long-lasting and cost-effective – With proper installation and minimal upkeep, LVT flooring can last up to 20 years or more, making it a durable investment that delivers excellent value for money.

Looking for a beautiful, durable, and practical floor that complements any interior style? LVT ticks all the boxes — and at FlooringFirst!, we make sure it's installed to perfection. Wondering how LVT compares to laminate flooring?

Our Professional LVT Installation Process

Installing luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring isn’t just about laying planks — it’s about precision, preparation, and product expertise. At FlooringFirst!, we follow a structured and reliable process to ensure every project is completed to the highest professional standard:

1. Free Site Survey & Consultation
   Every installation starts with a detailed on-site assessment by one of our experienced technicians. We examine the condition and type of your subfloor (concrete, plywood, etc.), check for moisture levels, and identify any existing unevenness or structural concerns. We’ll also take measurements and discuss your needs, preferred designs, and timeframes.
2. Product Guidance & LVT Selection
   We offer expert advice on choosing the most suitable LVT product based on your room type, foot traffic, heating system, and design preferences. Whether you're looking for a realistic wood-effect plank or a stone-style tile, we supply only high-quality LVT flooring from top UK and European brands — all suitable for domestic or commercial use.
3. Subfloor Preparation & Levelling
   A flat, dry, and clean subfloor is essential for a successful LVT installation. We carry out all necessary prep work, including screeding uneven concrete, applying self-levelling compounds, installing damp-proof membranes, or adding underlays where required. Proper preparation ensures a long-lasting, smooth, and stable surface for your new floor.
4. Professional Installation – Glue Down or Click-Lock
   Based on the product type and your subfloor, we use either glue-down adhesive methods or click-lock floating installations. Glue-down LVT provides maximum stability and is ideal for commercial areas or heavy-use spaces. Click-lock is faster and great for domestic use or where minimal disruption is preferred. We install all planks with precise alignment and expansion gaps where needed.
5. Finishing Touches & Clean-Up
   Once the flooring is installed, we add final details such as trims, edge beading, door thresholds, and skirting (or reinstallation if you’ve removed it). We clean the work area thoroughly and perform a post-installation walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets your expectations.
