The two main types of vinyl floors are vinyl roll flooring and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT). Manufacturers typically offer a range of vinyl flooring products in each of these categories, and each product offers specific features suited to specific applications. For example, Tarkett offers a complete range of LVT and vinyl roll flooring solutions for every room in your home, allowing you to find a vinyl floor that fits both your lifestyle and your budget.
What is LVT (luxury vinyl tiles)?
LVT, which stands for luxury vinyl tiles, is a multi-layer, waterproof, resilient floor covering on rigid or flexible vinyl tiles or planks. Similar to vinyl roll, LVT is a durable and practical flooring option that offers a wide choice of designs and styles, from timeless and classic to trendy designs.
What is the structure of Tarkett LVT?
Tarkett LVT consists of a core layer of PVC, a printed design layer, a wear layer and a reinforced polyurethane (PUR) protection layer.

The design layer can be made to look like almost any material and offers endless design possibilities. The wear layer determines the durability of your floor: the thicker the wear layer, the more durable the floor is. The top polyurethane treatment layer protects both the wear layer and the design layer, providing extreme protection against scratches, wear and stains.
Tarkett’s Starfloor Click Ultimate line also includes a foam backing layer that acts as an internal substrate, providing soundproofing and making floors softer.
