What is Luxury Vinyl Flooring?
LVT is a modern, practical flooring solution that mimics the appearance of wood, stone, or ceramic—with added comfort and durability. It’s built to withstand everyday wear and tear, making it ideal for busy homes and commercial spaces alike.
Available in a variety of styles, patterns, and finishes, LVT flooring combines style with performance. It’s easy to clean, warm underfoot, and compatible with underfloor heating—perfect for family life.
Why Choose LVT for Your Home?
- Hard-Wearing & Waterproof – Great for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and commercial areas
- Comfortable & Warm – Softer underfoot than stone or tile, and excellent with underfloor heating

Click vs Gluedown LVT: What’s the Difference?
When it comes to Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT), one of the key decisions is choosing between click and glue down installation. Both options have their place, but understanding the differences can help you make the best choice for your home or business.
Click LVT: Quick & Convenient
Click LVT uses a locking system similar to laminate flooring. This system allows the tiles or planks to “click” together over an underlay. It’s often marketed as a DIY-friendly option and can be a good fit for small areas or temporary spaces where speed and ease of installation are the priority.
Pros:
- Faster to install
- No adhesive required
- Can be removed and reused (in some cases)
Cons:
- Limited design flexibility (e.g., herringbone patterns can be tricky)
- Less durable under heavy use
- Can shift or separate over time
Gluedown LVT: Our Professional Recommendation
In 99% of cases, we recommend gluedown LVT flooring—and here’s why. Gluedown systems are adhered directly to the subfloor, creating a rock-solid, long-lasting finish. This holds up beautifully in both domestic and commercial settings.
Pros:
- Far more durable and stable over time
- Perfect for high-traffic areas, kitchens, and bathrooms
- Easier to replace individual tiles if damaged
- Ideal for intricate layouts like borders or herringbone patterns
- Compatible with floor prep to smooth out uneven subfloors
Cons:
- Requires professional fitting
- Subfloor must be properly prepared
If you’re looking for flooring that not only looks great but lasts for years to come, gluedown LVT is by far the best option. It’s the method we use on almost all our installations. This is because it delivers a better finish, better longevity, and better long-term value for our customers.
