What is vinyl flooring, and how is it made?
Vinyl flooring consists of multiple layers of various materials bonded together to create a durable, practical, and cost-effective floor covering. The two primary types are Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) and vinyl roll. Although both are made from the same materials, their different constructions produce distinct effects—such as planks that realistically mimic natural wood.

What are the different types of vinyl?
Vinyl flooring includes both vinyl roll (also called vinyl sheet flooring) and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT).
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is a type of vinyl flooring specifically designed to replicate the look of natural materials like hardwood and ceramic tiles. Thanks to modern technology and advanced design techniques, LVT now closely resembles the texture and appearance of the real thing.
Available in a wide range of classic and contemporary styles, LVT comes in both tile and plank formats to mimic the look of tiles or wooden boards. It’s also offered in either rigid or flexible versions to suit different needs.
One of LVT’s key advantages is its modular design, which makes it quick and easy to install perfect for home renovations. In many cases, installation can be done without removing furniture or completely closing off rooms, helping minimise disruption to everyday life.
Vinyl Roll
Vinyl roll is a flexible, fibreglass-cushioned flooring that comes in large, continuous sheets. It’s available in an extensive range of styles from classic, realistic looks to bold, playful designs—offering something for every taste.
As one of the most budget-friendly flooring options for homeowners, vinyl roll also supports healthier indoor environments. It’s 100% phthalate-free, has low VOC and formaldehyde emissions, and is certified allergy-friendly in the UK.

How durable is vinyl flooring?
Vinyl flooring is widely regarded as a highly durable option. However, several key factors influence its longevity, such as the quality of the materials used, the manufacturing process, and the standard of installation. Each of these plays a role in how well your vinyl floor will hold up over time.
Vinyl is also an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and for those seeking a stylish, high-quality floor that requires minimal maintenance.
