How much does LVT flooring cost?

Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring has become an increasingly popular option for family homes thanks to its many benefits. In this article, we’ll be discussing the cost of LVT and the factors that affect its pricing.

What is LVT?

LVT flooring is planks, or tiles, made of vinyl with a photographic layer and a protective layer. The photographic layer mimics the texture of materials like wood, porcelain or stone while the wear layer reinforces its durability. Our tiles boast a unique registered grain embossing which makes our products look more realistic than the general standard of products available in the UK. 

What are the benefits of LVT?

LVT flooring has everything! It’s highly durable, easy to maintain and available in a range of designs meaning you don’t have to sacrifice high-quality design for durability.

What affects the cost of LVT?

The product finish and design – A huge benefit to LVT flooring is that it’s available in a range of finishes, colours and laying patterns. From wood effect to stone to porcelain, the finish of your LVT is up to you. Similarly, whether you’re looking for herringbone, parquet, straight lay, staggered, chevron and more, the laying style is also flexible. Keep in mind though that complex patterns and design finishes can be more expensive than simpler styles. 

Product quality – Usually, the more realistic and high quality the design of your LVT, the more expensive it will be. Choosing a quality LVT flooring is a good investment as its long-lasting wear means it provides a greater value for money. 

LVT vs Vinyl flooring – Vinyl flooring is usually cheaper than LVT due to its inferior composition and quality of materials used, lower durability and design which is usually lower quality than LVT. Both are easy to clean and maintain. 

Installation costs – Having your LVT laid professionally can be pricey but is often necessary for a professional-flooring finish. Our easy-to-lay Luvanto Click Plus LVT flooring can be laid by competent DIYers who have previous experience of laying LVT. Laying your own LVT flooring will reduce fitting costs but isn’t recommended for everyone. 

What can you expect to pay for LVT?

The average cost for 1㎡ of LVT in the UK is £45. You can expect to pay anywhere between £180 – £300 per day to have your flooring laid. The overall cost again depends on the quality of your LVT flooring, the area you’re laying the floor on and who instals it. When choosing your LVT flooring, make sure you factor in additional costs for things like underlay installation and the removal of your existing floor.
