Why Choose Vinyl Flooring?

Vinyl flooring combines modern manufacturing technology with realistic design, making it one of the most versatile flooring options available today. The rigid core construction found in many click vinyl floors provides excellent stability, allowing installation over a variety of subfloors including concrete and existing hard flooring.

One of the biggest advantages of vinyl flooring is its low maintenance. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping are usually all that is required to keep the floor looking its best. The sealed surface prevents dirt and moisture from penetrating the boards, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.

Vinyl flooring is also a great choice for comfort and acoustics. Compared to laminate or tile, vinyl feels warmer underfoot and helps reduce sound transfer between rooms, which is particularly beneficial in open-plan living spaces and apartments.

Choosing the Right Vinyl Floor

When selecting vinyl flooring, it’s important to consider wear layer thickness, installation method and room usage. Thicker wear layers provide better long-term durability in high-traffic areas, while click systems from Floorify, offer easier installation and board replacement if needed.

If you are unsure which option is right for your home, ordering samples allows you to see how colours and textures look in your own lighting before making a final decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is vinyl flooring waterproof?

Most modern vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof , making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and utility rooms. Correct installation and sealed edges help prevent moisture from reaching the subfloor.

Do you need underlay for vinyl flooring?

Most click vinyl flooring includes an integrated underlay, while others require a separate acoustic underlay depending on the product and subfloor type. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

What is the main difference between LVT and laminate flooring?

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is made from multiple layers of vinyl with a waterproof core, designed to be highly durable and resistant to moisture. Laminate flooring is constructed from a high-density fibreboard (HDF) core with a decorative photographic layer and protective wear layer on top.

In simple terms:

LVT = 100% waterproof and softer underfoot
Laminate = Extremely durable, cost-effective, and often more rigid

What is vinyl flooring and how does it differ from LVT?

Vinyl flooring is a broad category that includes sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), and glue down vinyl. LVT is a more advanced type of vinyl flooring featuring rigid cores, click installation systems, and enhanced durability.

Which is better, sheet vinyl flooring or LVT flooring?

The choice between sheet vinyl flooring and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring depends on your budget, installation preference, and the level of durability required.

Sheet vinyl flooring is typically more affordable and comes in large rolls, making it ideal for covering wide areas with minimal joins. It offers good water resistance and is a practical option for bathrooms, kitchens, and rental properties where cost and quick installation are key priorities.

LVT flooring, on the other hand, is a more premium option. It features rigid core construction, realistic wood or stone designs, and click installation systems such as Uniclic. LVT is fully waterproof, more durable, and better suited to high-traffic areas and long-term use. It also provides a more authentic look and feel compared to sheet vinyl.

For most modern homes, LVT flooring is considered the better investment due to its durability, appearance, and performance, while sheet vinyl remains a strong choice for budget-friendly projects.
