What is High Quality LVT Flooring

 

 

LVT stands for luxury vinyl tile. It realistically mimics natural materials like stone, marble, travertine, or wood. At the same time, it offers numerous benefits including lower cost, improved scratch resistance, and waterproof performance. LVT includes a photographic print layer to capture the realistic looks and a wear layer for increased durability. It's available in planks or tiles. LVT flooring delivers the ideal combination of everything a commercial flooring product should be – elegantly designed, highly durable, and easy to maintain. Luxury vinyl tile means not having to sacrifice high-quality design for industrial utility.

 

Benefits of High Quality LVT Flooring

 

Price
As already mentioned Luxury Vinyl Tiles is an affordable alternative to its other flooring products. Bringing luxury designs to your home for significantly lower prices. Thicker LVT tends to be at the higher end of the pricing range to represent the undeniable quality. A 5mm tile consists of an impressive 0.55mm wear layer to protect the design and increase the longevity of the tile.

 

Durability
Manufactured from extremely robust materials LVT is built to withstand the pressures of a commercial environment. Excessive traffic, flame resistance and exposure to moisture; there's not much this flooring cannot endure. With many designs made from 100% vinyl, Luxury Vinyl Tiles meet the green building standards for commercial applications. You can rest assured, when laying this flooring in your home you're using a high quality product that's built to last.

 

Versatile
Hard wearing, waterproof and providing excellent grip & slip resistance; LVT is perfect for those high risk areas where practicality overrules design such kitchens and bathrooms. The stunning aesthetics make it an ideal solution for dining and living rooms too. There's nowhere in your home we wouldn't recommend using LVT - it even looks great on the stairs.

 

Warmth
Unlike tile and wood flooring, LVT provides a warmth underfoot whilst the thickness of the tile adds a cushioned feel. Compatible with underfloor heating, the level of heat conducted through the flooring is impressive.

 

Insulates sound
At an average of 2mm thick LVT is significantly quieter to walk on compared to tiles, wood and laminate. As the thickness of the vinyl increases the sound becomes subdued. High traffic areas would require a thicker tile to guarantee sound and wear prevention.

 

Maintenance
When cleaning LVT you can afford to be a little rougher compared to other flooring types as the protective layer provides fantastic scratch, scuff, stain, chip, crack and dent resistance. We're not saying to get a scouring brush and go all out but tough marks are easily removed. As a hygienic flooring, a simple cleaning regime with a damp mop is suffice. If you require a deep clean, the flooring is resilient to chemical cleaners.

 

 

Material of High Quality LVT Flooring

LVT is primarily made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and calcium carbonate (limestone). Luxury vinyl floors are made up of multiple layers that include a factory-applied urethane top-coat that protects against abrasions, scratches, scuffs, and chemicals, a protective vinyl layer that provides durability, a decorative PVC print film that provides the design and color, and a resilient vinyl backing.

Process of High Quality LVT Flooring
 
Research and development

From the beginning, research and development teams aim to simulate and evaluate new innovative concepts through trial and error. Large amounts of raw materials are mixed so that the team can study their interactions. The raw materials used in the production of LVT include polyvinyl chloride resins (PVC) and calcium carbonate. Once the team has a satisfactory compound to work with, it is ready to begin the calendering process.

Calendering process

The calendering process uses a series of heated rollers to "roll or squeeze" the compound into a continuous sheet. By manipulating the rolls, the width and thickness of the sheet can be controlled with precise accuracy and consistency. Once the sheet is passed through the heated rolls, it is then sent through a cooling section and sent to lamination.

Lamination process

Through the use of heat and pressure, lamination is a continuous process that bonds one layer to the next until all layers are fully formed. The tiles are constructed of the following four layers:

Backing layer: Sound absorbing layer with textured grip
Fill layer: Stability layer for indentation resistance
Print layer: Certain premium types of LVT come manufactured with realistic, 3D visuals that can be installed to resemble ceramic or stone.
Wear layer: The wear layer plays a crucial role in the lifespan of your tiles. Clear coatings such as aluminum oxide will keep your flooring from rapidly wearing.

Once the layers are fully formed, the sheet enters into the embossing section.

Embossing process

Here, under heat and pressure, engraved rollers apply the textured design onto the face of the product which can be a light "tick" or a "deep" emboss. Once the texture is applied, the scratch and scuff Top Coat will be applied. The slabs then pass through an annealing oven that uses heated air to raise the temperature of the entire slab to a point that any stress between the layers are relieved. Once cooled back down, this process is added "insurance" to produce a stabilized product that will reduce the opportunity for "doming or cupping" due to stresses between the layers in the finished planks. From there the slabs are palletized and taken to Inspection, the final stop.

Inspection process

During inspection, the slabs are brought into an air controlled room that will maintain the same temperature year round. This is important because it keeps the product in a uniform state during the milling process which helps to ensure consistent milling from one board to the next. Being able to inspect each slab before milling allows technicians to inspect and mark defective areas. The non-defected slabs will then be loaded into the press which offers alternative product sizes and is then sent to milling. Once milled, the product is boxed, wrapped, stacked on a pallet, and ready for shipment.

 

How to Install High Quality Lvt Flooring

 

 

Glue down: Also known as "dryback," glue down is the most commonly used in commercial applications because of the heavy foot-traffic environments and heavy rolling loads. This installation method requires the use of an adhesive when installing. There have been many innovations with adhesives in the past 10 years beyond the traditional troweled-on application, including roll-on, peel, and stick, and spray adhesives.

 

Click: Unlike glue down, click does not require the use of adhesives, as the planks or tiles are installed by using the tongue and groove locking system on the edges of the product. This provides for a quicker and easier installation versus glue down/dry back. However, traditional click LVT has issues with subfloor irregularities and dimensional stability, so it has mostly been replaced by the improved rigid-core click product category.

 

Rigid core click: This LVT has an installation process similar to the click LVT, but typically has a thicker and more rigid construction. The rigid core LVT construction provides better resistance to indentations, better dimensional stability, and added comfort-under-foot. There are 2 general rigid core categories: WPC (wood plastic core) and SPC (solid polymer core or stone plastic composite). WPC was the original rigid core construction introduced in the US market but experienced issues with product construction and dimensional stability. SPC flooring was introduced to fix the flaws that WPC flooring experienced, offering a more structurally stable and waterproof construction.

 

Loose lay: This LVT version is a thicker product construction versus glue down (typically 5.0mm). Most manufacturers promote loose lay LVT in smaller spaces with no rolling loads since minimal adhesive is required around the perimeter. The manufacturers recommend an adhesive be applied to loose lay LVT in a medium-sized room (width of the room larger than 20 feet) on the perimeter of the room, or even a grid of adhesive every 8 feet. In applications with heavy foot traffic or rolling loads, manufacturers recommend doing a full spread of adhesive with loose lay which turns it into a glue-down installation. The benefits of loose lay are a quicker installation process, acoustical benefits, use on sub-floors with high moisture content, installation over existing floors, and more comfort-under-foot.

 

How to Maintain High Quality LVT Flooring
 
 

Everyday cleaning of LVT
Though naturally scratch, scuff, stain, and water resistant, LVT does require basic cleaning methods to best maintain. Most standard flooring cleaning tools are great for LVT - brooms, vacuums and mops all do the trick.

On a regular basis, it is best to dry sweep LVT and always tend to spills as soon as possible. By keeping debris and dirt off the floor, you can prevent scratches or scuffs. When it comes time to do a little more thorough cleaning, the best method is mopping using a two-bucket system.

A two-bucket system allows you to wash the floor with one bucket filled with a neutral cleaner and another bucket filled with clean water, thereby limiting cross contamination and ensuring you're not spreading around dirt.

 
 

Deep cleaning of LVT
Accidents happen, especially in a commercial setting like restaurants, hospitals, or multi-family settings. If this happens and your flooring is marked with a stain or a scratch, there are deep-cleaning methods that can help return your flooring back to its original state.

For stains, we recommend a heavy-duty flooring cleaner.

For scratches and scuffs, there are a few options at your disposal. Depending on the depth of the mark, a little buffing can sometimes do the trick. Your secondary options include applying a finish or vinyl flooring sealer after you've cleaned the area, as this will most likely hide any small or medium scratches. For larger scuffs, there are also spot-repair kits that can fix the problem.

 
 

How to prevent damage to LVT
Commercial flooring is exposed to heavy traffic and can definitely be subject to excess spills and dirt. Now that you know how to clean LVT, it's also helpful to know how to prevent damage to your LVT. One way is to add floor castors at the bottom of chairs and tables. As chairs slide back and forth repeatedly over a floor, the floor can become worn down, but castors help prevent additional damage. Another recommendation is to use walk off mats in entryways to help with weather-related moisture, dirt and debris that would otherwise be tracked in.
