If you’re renovating your home in New Romney, Ashford or Folkestone, one of the most popular flooring choices right now is Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). And honestly, it’s easy to see why.
At Bay Carpets & Flooring, we supply and install LVT flooring across Kent every single week, and demand keeps growing. Homeowners want something stylish, durable, warm underfoot and easy to maintain and LVT ticks every box.
So lets deep dive into LVT Flooring
What Is LVT Flooring?
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a high-performance flooring product designed to replicate natural materials like wood and stone, but without the drawbacks.
It’s constructed in layers, making it:
– Water resistant
– Durable
– Comfortable underfoot
– Suitable for kitchens, hallways and bathrooms
Unlike traditional vinyl sheet flooring, LVT is installed in planks or tiles, giving a far more premium look.
Why Homeowners in Kent Are Choosing LVT
1. Perfect for Busy Family Homes
Homes in areas like Ashford and Folkestone often see heavy foot traffic — kids, pets, muddy boots from countryside walks.
LVT is:
– Scratch resistant
– Easy to clean
– Tough enough for daily life
It’s ideal for open-plan living spaces, which are increasingly popular in modern Kent homes.
2. Water Resistant for Kitchens & Bathrooms
Many of our customers choose LVT for:
– Kitchens
– Utility rooms
– Downstairs toilets
– Bathrooms
Because it handles moisture far better than laminate or engineered wood.
3. Warmer & Quieter Than Tile
If you’ve ever walked barefoot on cold tiles, you’ll understand the appeal.
LVT provides:
– Softer feel underfoot
– Better insulation
– Less noise transfer
Especially important in family homes.
Professional LVT Installation Matters
One thing we always tell customers — LVT is only as good as the installation.
Subfloor preparation is critical. At Bay Carpets, we:
– Fully assess the subfloor
– Apply smoothing compounds where required
– Ensure a perfectly level finish
Poor preparation leads to failure. We don’t cut corners, our team of installers are trained, experience and take pride in every detail.
