• Should I go for tile or LVT or a combination of both?

    Large open plan living room/diner kitchen, and a utility room next to the kitchen.

    Kitchen units are not going in yet, so if I go for tile, I would tile everywhere, for LVT (probably quickstep) it would be to the units.

    Possibly LVT for everywhere except the utility, which will have access to garage and outdoors?

    We have wet underfloor heating and a 5 year old and 1.5 year old, so was thinking tile is a bit unforgiving?

  • We had a similar choice a few years ago, wet ufh, young kids and pets. Went for LVT throughout, same design through the whole floor, but a darker colour in the utility/ dog rooms. Definitely feel we made the right choice. Floor looks the same as the day it was laid and has been easy to keep clean and tidy.

  • That’s good to know, which LVT brand did you use?

    I think we are leaning towards LVT in the living room diner kitchen area, and tiles in the utility, wife is concerned about dragging things like bikes, lawnmower, garden tools through from the garage to the utility.

    We’ve been told the patterned wooden plank effect is pretty hard wearing and doesn’t show many scratches, though we’d also thought the Quickstep Livyn tile effect planks looks quite good.
