Luxury vinyl flooring, also known as LVT, is the chic, budget-friendly, durable, and low-maintenance way to effortlessly upgrade your home.

Gone are the days when vinyl or lino tiles were synonymous with old-fashioned, cold, plastic-looking floors. Today’s luxury vinyl flooring offers fresh, sophisticated designs with a range of flawless finishes, realistic textures, and durability that will last for years to come.

Designed to look and feel like real wood, stone, and other natural materials, LVT flooring features authentic grains and textures that rival the real thing. Ideal for DIY buffs, some varieties come with a clever click mechanism that is easy to install yourself, too.

So, whether you’re looking for a rustic wood look, or an ornate marble pattern, at Direct Tile Warehouse, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your home.

Why is LVT Flooring a Good Option for Your Home? 

Choosing the right flooring for your kitchen or bathroom is crucial due to the unique demands of these high-traffic, moisture-prone areas. Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT) provides several advantages over laminate and real wood flooring.

  • Durability: LVT is robust and resistant to scratches, dents, and moisture, making it ideal for the wear and tear common in kitchens and bathrooms. 
  • Waterproof: Unlike wood and laminate, LVT is completely waterproof, preventing warping and damage from spills or humidity.
  • Sound Insulating: LVT offers excellent sound insulation, reducing noise from foot traffic and creating a quieter environment.
  • Versatility: With a wide range of styles and colours, LVT can mimic natural materials like wood and stone, allowing you to achieve any look without compromising on practicality.
  • Easy Maintenance: LVT is easy to clean and maintain, requiring only regular sweeping and occasional mopping.
  • Comfort: Its cushioned layers provide a softer, more comfortable feel underfoot compared to hard tiles.
  • Budget-Friendly: Offering the appearance of high-end materials at a fraction of the cost, LVT is a cost-effective flooring solution.

Here are some of our favourite LVT flooring styles from our latest collection.

 

For a Cosy Scheme

Say hello to our stunning new Stanley Vinyl Tile range. With their beautiful stone effect, these tiles add both warmth and elegance to your home. Available in four stylish options—Beige, Grey, Stone, and Marble Effect—these long-length tiles offer seamless coverage, making them ideal for open-plan living areas.

If you’re thinking of installing these tiles yourself, the convenient click mechanism allows for straightforward installation without the need for adhesives, making your DIY project easy and hassle-free (we hope).

For a classic look, pair these tiles with white metro tiles or mix them with patterned tiles to create distinctive design combinations that showcase your personal style. Whether you’re aiming for a serene and neutral scheme or a more dynamic design, the Stanley range offers the flexibility and style to perfectly complement your scheme.
