PERFECT HARMONY Why is LVT fast becoming the flooring of choice for designers, installers and specifiers?
Interface looks at the growing trend and presents a recent case study where their carpet and LVT ranges provide an integrated modular flooring solution.
In recent years, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) has become an increasingly popular choice when it comes to flooring in the spaces where we work and learn. The recent growth in the LVT market clearly demonstrates that this is a flooring option with vast benefits and one which continues to prosper.
There are huge practical benefits to LVT. When it comes to installation, it is far more lightweight in comparison with natural materials and is therefore easier to handle and install. What’s more, the decreased weight of LVT does not compromise its overall performance when it comes to durability.
Some LVT ranges, such as Interface’s Level Set which replicates natural wood and stone, are manufactured with a ceramic bead coating to provide a durable finish that resists scratching and scuffing. This is one of the many reasons why LVT is commonly used in office spaces where there is consistently high traffic. LVT is easy to maintain and is therefore well-suited to environments where exceptional hygiene standards are essential. The dimensions that LVT comes in also offers benefits
when it comes to installation. Manufacturers create tiles in a range of formats, which means flooring contractors no longer need to precut products.
Perhaps one of the most widely recognised benefits of LVT is the increased design possibilities it offers. By combining textures that mimic natural stone, tile and wood and incorporating other types of modular flooring such as carpet tiles, designers can create spaces that are both beautiful and aligned with the needs of occupants.
In addition to the design benefits, Interface’s LVT range also provides end users with acoustic advantages compared to standard LVT products. Level Set is created with Sound Choice, an exclusive backing that offers optimised acoustic comfort. By using components that reduce the transfer of noise, Interface is able to improve the experiences of the people who use spaces where LVT has been installed. In hospitality environments, this can enhance comfort, while in educational spaces, learning is not compromised by poor acoustics.
