Frequently Asked Questions

Polyflor offers two categories of luxury vinyl flooring for your consideration:

Luxury Vinyl Sheet (LVS) is an ever-popular loose-lay floor covering which offers multiple attractive designs to complement any room.

Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) blend realistic surface textures with the latest trends whilst offering a soft backing for comfort underfoot.

Luxury vinyl flooring is also ideal for rooms which experience daily household traffic, namely bathrooms, kitchens, nurseries, playrooms, hallways, and utility rooms.

Polyflor offers a wide range of LVT in two main formats: glue down LVT which can be laid in a variety of patterns with optional inlay accessories and interlocking LVT negating the need of adhesive for easier installation.

When compared with traditional materials, our range of LVS and LVT offers:

• Greater variety of high-quality, stylish and innovative designs
• The authentic replication of wood, stone and ceramic at a fraction of the cost
• Enhanced grip
• Lower maintenance
• Quicker installation

Yes. However, the underfloor heating should not exceed the industry standard of 27°C.

Yes – depending on the size of the flooring area. A suitable expansion gap must be allowed around the entire room perimeter and anything which protrudes through the floor, e.g. radiators, pipes etc. 

When installed within several rooms, the flooring should be separated between each room space, allowing an expansion gap at doorways.

Please refer to Polyflor’s Technical Information Manual for further information.
