Vinyl tiles come in plank, tile and solid format so that you can achieve the exact look you’re after without compromising on quality. Plank vinyl flooring is a popular alternative to real wood flooring, while tiled designs mimic the pattern of a natural stone or slate floor. The result is a very realistic appearance but with all the advantages of LVT.

Easy installation and maintenance

When it comes to installation and maintenance, LVT offers maximum convenience. Luxury vinyl flooring is a doddle to install and easy to keep clean.
