LVT Flooring for Commercial Spaces

 

Flooring materials have come a long way from its earlier days when stone, polished concrete and marble / tiles were some of the de facto options. Today, raw concrete floors are dressed up in some of the most compelling materials and styles depending on the property type. And one of the popular alternatives is LVT or Luxury Vinyl Tile. It is suitable for residential as well as commercial spaces because of its superior performance and safety characteristics.

LVT Flooring — Anti-slip, Beautiful & Easy to Maintain

LVT flooring is the first choice for business spaces because of its superlative properties. Before we understand why LVT is so popular let us first understand its structural composition which interestingly is made up of 4 layers — stacked one over the other.

1. Wear or Top Layer -

The top layer is a transparent film that prevents scuff and scratches. It not only helps the underlying print to bounce off in full glory but also makes it easy to clean, especially in commercial areas where maintenance is one of the key considerations. The top layer also provides traction and protection against wear and tear.

2. Printed Layer –

This layer replicates stone or wood. It is printed using state of the art digital technology. Unlike residential habitats, commercial establishments have unique design considerations — elegance and high-end appearance being some of them. What makes LVT Tile the darling of end users, designers and property owners is its diverse range of styles, patterns, plank size and finish. Choose from a range of stone or wooden finish that complements your business space.

3. The Core Layer –

It is a composite mixture of stone powder, plastic and resin, and forms the backbone of luxury vinyl Flooring, providing unmatched dimensional stability and sustainability. The amalgamated material exploited in this section stabilizes the layered structure thereby improving the safety quotient further. The core layer also protects the plank / tile from moisture.

4. Base Layer –

The last layer is actually an underlayment made from cork / foam that provides comfort and sound proofing properties. The soft material at the base alleviates foot pain which is a common phenomenon associated with wooden or stone flooring. This layer also provides protection against bugs / fungus due to wet surface.

LVT’s “dimensional stability” provides supreme safety and its printed layer transforms the flooring into a character driven featured object. LVT flooring ( plank and tile ) can be installed in any commercial / business space in a variety of configurations while its unlimited customization options allow designers to blend it seamlessly with any interior.
