Luxury Vinyl Flooring, or LVT for short, is a type of flooring that has gained popularity in recent years as a more affordable and versatile alternative to traditional hardwood or stone flooring. LVT is made of multiple layers of synthetic materials, including PVC vinyl, a stabilizing core, and a top layer with a printed design that can mimic the look of wood, stone, or other materials.

At top ranked brands like Merino Laminates, LVT is available in different formats, such as planks or tiles, which can be installed in a variety of patterns and designs. Additionally, LVT can come in different thicknesses, allowing for more durability and stability. 

Advantages of Luxury Vinyl Flooring

• Exceptionally Robust- LVT is constructed from very resilient materials that can resist a wide range of conditions, including heavy traffic and exposure to dampness. LVT is also appropriate for use in professional contexts. You can have a long-lasting, high-quality item for your house or place of business by installing this flooring.
• Ultra Water Resistant- Coastal settings benefit greatly from LVT's toughness and water resistance. It has strong anti-slip and traction properties. Additionally, it is intended for dangerous locations like the kitchen, where continuous practical use might harm the design. 
• Suitable for High Traffic Areas- One of the advantages of LVT is that it can be installed in almost any space, including high-traffic areas, bathrooms, and kitchens, without the fear of water damage or other wear and tear. LVT also requires less maintenance than traditional hardwood flooring, as it can be easily cleaned with a damp mop or a mild cleaner.
• Antibacterial and fungal- Merino LVT is given an antibacterial and antimicrobial protective coating during manufacturing. Additionally, luxury vinyl flooring comes highly recommended if you want to maintain a high standard of hygiene in your home as well as in busy areas like hospitals, schools, gyms, banks, and shopping centers. It maintains fundamental cleanliness and keeps out microorganisms that could harm your health.
• Easy care and maintenance- LVT may be customized to meet your needs and is a quick and easy solution to modernize the space. It is a lot easier to maintain than other types of flooring. For general cleaning, wet wiping, vacuuming, and sweeping are all efficient techniques. Wax the floor occasionally or use a polyurethane cleaner for severe soiling to preserve the appearance for longer.
