Luxury Vinyl Flooring Is the Perfect All-Rounder for Commercial Settings
When clients inquire about the preferred type of commercial flooring, Luxury Vinyl Flooring consistently tops the list, owing to its extensive benefits. LVT/LVP is crafted to mimic the appearance of natural materials like wood, stone, marble, or travertine. However, unlike these traditional luxury flooring options, luxury vinyl flooring stands out for its minimal maintenance requirements and exceptional durability.
Constructed with multiple layers, LVT typically features a wear layer for enhanced durability, a printed layer with realistic patterns, a core layer for stability, and a backing layer that adds support and comfort. The most notable benefits of premium LVT include:
Durability
LVT is highly durable and can withstand heavy footfall, making it suitable for busy commercial spaces such as offices, retail stores and healthcare facilities.
Stylish
Commercial luxury vinyl tile comes in a wide range of designs, including wood, stone and original patterns — allowing for a degree of creativity.
Easy to Maintenance
LVT is easy to clean and maintain, requiring minimal effort to keep it looking clean and new. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping are usually sufficient.
Water Resistance
LVT is completely water-resistant. It’s the sensible choice for areas prone to spills or moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Added Comfort
Some LVT products come with built-in cushioning layers, providing comfort underfoot for employees and customers.
Sound Absorption
LVT can help reduce noise levels within a space, creating a quieter, more serene environment — making it ideal for care homes, schools, and healthcare facilities.
Scratch and Stain Resistance
LVT is resistant to stains and scratches, maintaining its appearance even in high-traffic areas.
Enhanced Safety
Many LVT options come with slip-resistant surfaces, enhancing safety in high-risk spaces such as commercial kitchens and hospital corridors.
Our Commercial LVT Fitting Process
High-quality commercial LVT flooring can last for generations, but only if it’s properly installed. To guarantee optimum aesthetics, performance and durability, we have developed a fitting process that has served us well in our years of experience.
1. Subfloor Prep Work
Ensuring that the subfloor is clean, dry, and level is crucial. Any debris or imperfections are removed to create the smoothest surface possible.
2. Vinyl Acclimatisation
It’s important for the vinyl flooring to acclimate to the room’s temperature and humidity for a minimum of 48 hours prior to installation. This step helps prevent any post-installation expansion or contraction.
3. Layout and Planning
The layout of the vinyl flooring requires careful planning, taking into account the starting point and alignment with the room’s walls. This ensures the avoidance of narrow strips at the room’s edges.
4. Cutting and Trimming
The vinyl flooring is measured and cut to match the room’s dimensions, with a small gap left along the edges to allow for any expansion.
5. Adhesive Application (if necessary)
In cases where glue-down vinyl is used, the adhesive is applied to the subfloor as per the manufacturer’s instructions, working in small sections to prevent it from drying out prematurely.
6. Vinyl Installation
The vinyl flooring is then laid carefully, either onto the adhesive or directly onto the subfloor for click-lock or self-adhesive vinyl, and pressed firmly to ensure a snug fit.
7. Trim and Finish
Post-installation, any excess vinyl is trimmed along the room’s edges, and baseboards or moulding are installed to cover the expansion gap, enhancing the overall appearance with a neat and attractive finish.

How Is Commercial LVT Flooring Made?
The process of creating Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) involves several layers and materials.
- Resilient Vinyl Backing
This is the foundational layer, which provides stability and strength to the flooring. - Core Layer
This layer, packed thick with composite materials or PVC, forms the core of the LVT. It’s why LVT is so durable in even the harshest of conditions. The core layer has either a flexible or rigid core. - Printed Design Layer
A high-resolution image layer is used to create the visual appearance of LVT — often replicating the look of natural materials like wood or stone. - Wear Layer
This protective layer sits on the design layer and guards against wear, stains and damage. Its thickness can vary, but it typically ranges from 0.3mm to 0.7mm.
The LVT manufacturing process involves heat pressing these layers together, which transforms the raw materials into luxury vinyl sheets. This ensures the layers mould together securely, creating a resilient and visually appealing flooring option that should last for many years.
