Luxury vinyl plank flooring is a type of flooring that mimics the look of natural materials such as wood, stone or tile, but with more durability and affordability. Some of the benefits of luxury vinyl flooring are:
- It is waterproof, which makes it suitable for areas that are prone to spills and moisture like kitchens and dining rooms.
- It is resilient, which means it can handle heavier traffic and rough wear and tear resisting scuffing, chipping and cracking.
- It is simple to clean, requiring only a light sweep or mop with warm water.
- It is affordable, costing less than other types of flooring that offer similar aesthetics.
- It is comfortable, offering a softer and warmer feel underfoot than hard surfaces such as tile or stone or stone composite hybrid flooring.
- It has better indoor air quality than many alternatives like laminates containing formaldehyde.
- It has better resilience than hybrid click systems that are prone to chipping and cracking on the corners and click systems.
- It is simple and easy to replace a damaged board. Many click system and hybrids need to be totally reinstalled to replace a damaged plank. This can lead wear and failure of the click system and total failure of the hybrid or laminate floor. Our Luxury vinyl can be easily repaired in the event of damage and removal of fixtures and walls.
Our luxury vinyl flooring is a premium quality flooring made to higher standards than most on the market.
It is also floorscore certified with world class indoor air quality rating and without the common toxins found in many laminates and wood look composite flooring on the Australian market.
Luxury viny flooring also has many benefits over hybrid (stone composite) flooring.
Firstly cutting a vinyl plank creates no stone composite dust so inhaling the flooring is not an issue.
- Cutting hybrid flooring can be dangerous because some hybrid flooring products may contain crystalline silica particles, which are a known carcinogen and can cause lung diseases such as silicosis if inhaled. See the Australasian Timber Flooring Association website for more info atfa.com.auTherefore, it is essential that approved Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is worn when cutting, penetrating or grinding these products
