What is click vinyl flooring?
When you start your research on vinyl flooring, it won’t be long before click vinyl tiles, (also known as LVT or luxury vinyl tiles) make an appearance. Vinyl click tiles are designed with multiple layers to ensure durability but are finished with a stylish design, whether that be a wood or stone effect. Each tile is comprised of up to 8 layers, including the hard-wearing back layers, the layer on which the design is printed, and normally 2 protective top layers to keep your tile safe against dirt and general wear and tear.
The great thing about luxury vinyl tiles is their ease of installation; with no adhesive required, these can be fit yourself with easy repositioning - they really do just ‘click’ into place. Including a host of other benefits, click vinyl tiles are the perfect entry into the vinyl flooring market.

Sheet/Roll Vinyl Flooring
If you’re looking for an extensive range of designs, whilst maintaining durability, ease of installation and insulation, sheet vinyl flooring is your best bet. Unlike vinyl tiles or types of vinyl plank flooring, this style of flooring comes in a large flexible sheet instead of individual pieces. Sheet vinyl is also easy to install and inexpensive which makes it a good option if you want quick and easy flooring with a sleek finish.
Sheet vinyl flooring is particularly well suited for kitchens and bathrooms, as its moisture-resistant properties are ideal for splashes and spillages.
