Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is flooring that is made to look like wood, stone, and other natural materials but with more practical value. With its range of shapes, sizes, and colors, you can work with a commercial contractor to create the floor ideally suited to your business. If you’re looking to upgrade your old flooring, consider these benefits of LVT. 

What Are the Benefits of LVT Flooring for Businesses?

1. Durable

LVT is typically made from 5 layers: backing, the core vinyl layer, the print layer, and a top layer to make it resistant to scratching and UV rays. For a room with high traffic, you can opt for a floor with a thicker wear layer that will absorb the most movement and provide the most protection for your floor.

LVT is also waterproof so, over time, spilled drinks won't be absorbed by the material and cause warping. Further, vinyl isn’t hygroscopic like wood, so it won't expand and contract with the seasons.

2. Aesthetic Appeal & Sound Absorption

Just because LVT is practical and durable doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on appearance. You can get the best of both worlds with a surface that looks natural but doesn’t act like it (requiring frequent upkeep). Depending on the look of your business, you might opt for a natural stone look or else richer colors for a more eye-catching effect. 

Plus, with so many layers, LVT can offer sound absorption so it doesn’t become hard to hear yourself talk in your own business. The layers also make the ground softer to walk on, which you and your customers will appreciate compared to the hard smack of hardwood and other natural materials. 

3. Easy Installation & Maintenance

Typically, vinyl flooring will take no more than a few days to install. Often, it can be installed over your existing floor, so your commercial contractor won't need to spend extra time removing it. Alternatively, it can be installed over subfloors made from a range of materials (for example, plywood and concrete).

LVT is easy to maintain. Unlike other flooring materials, you won't need to purchase expensive chemicals to clean it safely; you won't need to scrub or wax it either. Stick to sweeping and mopping with water, and your floor will stay sparkling.
