Lvt or laminate mumsnet.

Woild you recommend over lvt. However while its popularity is at an all time high we often hear many misconceptions about its characteristics and capabilities. But the practical ness of the lvt appeals to me. However it won t be any easier than laminate to pull up if you need to get to floorboards etc as it s often glue sprayed down.

I was pretty set on laminate but have heard great things about lvt especially in kitchens. We have carpet in the living room. I think i prefer the look of laminate it obviously has more of a real wood look about it which i like. We ve had real wood parquet before which looked lovely but we missed the cosiness.

I think it looks lovely and of very good quality. Laminate floors start at about 1 per square foot but you really get what you play for here. We have one that has wood print. My dad has luxury vinyl flooring downstairs and in the bathrooms.

If you think your flooring may be at risk of scratching choose lvt but bear in mind that you can easily replace a single laminate board and it will cost much less. We have it in our utility as apparently laminate can go a bit funny after a few years under a tumble. Found everywhere from airports and hotel lobbies to schools hospitals and more lvt has vastly become one of the most popular commercial options in today s flooring market. It was from carpet right.

I know it says with laminate not to mop due to water over time ruining the wood. It looks like laminate but underfoot it feels like vinyl. What exactly is it. A cheap luxury vinyl starts at around 2 per square foot and can go as high as 7 but there are plenty of quality vinyl tiles available in the 3 to 4 range.

Either quickstep impressive laminate or camaro vinyl. A quality laminate starts at closer to the 2 to 3 dollar range per square foot. Dh does not like the idea of putting a screed down to stick lvt to he would prefer the click t. Not saying you want a laminate look in your bathroom but they might have something you like.

What about expansion our house gets extremely hot can you tell when it s expanded i e feel it when walking. Would have preferred proper stuck down lvt and it would have lasted longer but we couldn t bring ourselves to spend an extra 1000 on a different sort of fake. Was laminate until recently but dh put me straight when we were choosing floor for the other bathroom and he said that lvt was way easier to fit than laminate.
