What is Luxury Vinyl Tile?
Luxury Vinyl Tile is a premium, multi-layered flooring product made from high-quality vinyl with a realistic printed design layer and a protective top coating. It offers the visual appeal of natural materials – wood, slate, stone or tile – while delivering superior resilience against everyday wear.
LVT is water-resistant, easy to clean and highly durable, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and other high-traffic areas. Its flexible construction also provides a softer, warmer feel compared to traditional tiles or laminate.
Why Is Luxury Vinyl Tile Right For Me?
LVT is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a practical, stylish and low-maintenance floor. It handles spills, moisture and temperature changes with ease, which makes it suitable for busy family homes and commercial spaces.
Modern LVT designs offer incredibly realistic textures and patterns, from natural wood grains to stone and marble effects. Whether you prefer a rustic finish or a sleek contemporary look, there’s an option to suit every interior.
Its layered construction provides excellent durability, resisting dents, scratches and everyday foot traffic. It’s also quieter underfoot and compatible with underfloor heating, making it a comfortable and versatile option throughout your home.

In terms of sustainability, hardwood flooring is a renewable resource when sourced from responsibly managed forests. Many species used in flooring, such as oak and maple, are abundant and replenished through sustainable forestry practices. Unlike synthetic flooring materials, solid hardwood contains no plastics or harmful chemicals, and at the end of its long life, it can be recycled, repurposed, or biodegraded rather than ending up as landfill waste. Because of its long lifespan, it also reduces the environmental impact associated with frequent replacement.
We’re proud to work with some of the best suppliers of premium solid wood flooring in the UK, using sustainably sourced and FSC approved wood.

A “sand and seal” is the process of restoring solid wood flooring by sanding off its old finish and imperfections, then applying a fresh protective sealant. It’s often used when floors look worn, scratched, or dull, and it can make old hardwood look almost new again.

We’re experienced in fitting a range of patterns, from classic straight lay to the intricate basket weave. We can work with you to find the one that best compliments your home.
Straight Lay
This is the most common and simplest pattern, where planks are laid side by side in a straight line across the room, usually parallel to the longest wall. It creates a clean, uniform look that highlights the natural grain of the wood without distraction. Straight lay is timeless, versatile, and works in both traditional and modern interiors.Diagonal Lay
Similar to straight lay, but the planks are installed at a 45-degree angle to the walls. This subtle twist adds more visual interest, makes rooms appear larger, and can be a great way to emphasize architectural features.Herringbone
A zig-zag pattern where each rectangular plank is laid at a right angle to the next. It brings movement, texture, and elegance, making it a classic choice for high-impact spaces.Chevron
Often confused with herringbone, chevron uses planks cut at an angle so they form a continuous “V” shape. This creates a sleek, modern, and more symmetrical look compared to herringbone.Parquet
A traditional style made of small blocks arranged into geometric designs like squares, triangles, or diamonds. It’s very decorative and often used in formal or historic settings.Basket Weave
It is made by laying rectangular planks in a crisscross pattern that resembles a woven basket. This style offers a more intricate and distinctive look, adding depth and interest to the floor while still feeling orderly and balanced.
