The weather in the United Kingdom and most countries in the Northern hemisphere means that houses require some sort of floor covering to keep the occupants comfortable. While carpet is one of the most commonly used flooring material in the United Kingdom, it can get pretty expensive, and requires a lot of maintenance.

Currently, in the United Kingdom, the use of vinyl as a floor covering is gaining popularity because there has been a lot of changes in the design, quality, colour, patterns, and sizes. The best vinyl products which are known as luxury vinyl tiles have some of the finest designs printed on it, making it very easy for homeowners to select them as the floor covering of choice. Vinyl has had a bag deal from the start and was usually consigned to installations in kitchens and bathrooms, mainly for their water-resistant qualities. Early examples of vinyl were quite similar in looks to linoleum and were popular because it was water-resistant and stain-proof. The advantages were that it provided excellent value and was long-lasting if used properly.

At the present time, luxury vinyl tiles or LVT are having a comeback of sorts in the United Kingdom and is now used as the flooring of choice in many industrial, commercial, and even residential units. Besides being long-lasting and versatile, modern LVT tiles now are available in a wide range of designs, colours, and even textures, with finishes mimicking stone, slate, and even various wood floorings. In the UK, vinyl flooring is available as tiles and as sheet flooring; the vinyl sheets are available in rolls of 6 feet or 12 feet wide and can be laid easily and quickly. The tiles, which are more popular in commercial and residential scenarios come in sizes of 9 inches x 9 inches or 12 inches x 12 inches.

Vinyl sheet flooring is very popular in industrial and commercial places, while luxury vinyl tiles are more often used in residential layouts. Their choice is a sensible alternative to various other kinds of flooring because it significantly lowers the cost, usually lasts long, and does not show fading even after long use. The prices of vinyl tiles are based on thickness, with thicker tiles being more expensive. Vinyl tiles are versatile because of their waterproof and slip-resistant qualities, making them a good fit for boot rooms, kitchens, utility, and bathrooms.
