Spotlight on: Floorify LVT for luxury and practicality underfoot

What Is Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT)?

Luxury vinyl flooring represents a significant evolution from traditional vinyl tile and sheet vinyl. LVT is a multi-layered, high-performance floor that replicates the look of natural materials like real wood, stone and terrazzo while delivering impressive durability.

Modern LVT flooring typically comprises several layers working together:

• UV-cured top coat providing scratch resistance and stain protection
• Wear layer (typically 0.4–0.55 mm in quality products) acting as the primary defence against daily wear
• High-resolution decorative film capturing realistic textures of oak grains, marble veining or concrete pores
• Rigid core made from stone-polymer composite (SPC) or similar synthetic materials for dimensional stability
• Built-in underlay or acoustic backing for sound insulation and comfort

The difference between luxury vinyl tiles (rectangular or square formats) and luxury vinyl planks (long boards) comes down to interior style. Planks suit wood effect designs while tiles work for stone floor aesthetics.

Why We Love Floorify Luxury Vinyl Flooring

At Hyperion Tiles, we've chosen to stock the complete Floorify collection because it perfectly aligns with our focus on premium design, durability and easy living. Floorify is a European brand founded in Belgium in the mid-2010s, known for rigid vinyl floors that bridge the gap between ceramic tiles and traditional vinyl in terms of performance.

We offer the entire Floorify range in the UK, from wide planks and herringbone to stone effect and terrazzo-look tiles. Our Ascot showroom features large-format displays where customers can see Floorify alongside porcelain tiles, engineered wood and natural stone options.

Key Benefits of Floorify Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Durability for Real Life: Floorify uses a thick wear layer (0.4–0.55 mm) engineered to cope with pets, children, rolling office chairs and high traffic areas, withstanding 20,000+ wear cycles.

Complete Water Resistance: These planks and tiles are fully waterproof, handling submersion for 24–48 hours without delamination—excellent for kitchens, utility rooms, boot rooms and family bathrooms.

Comfort and Acoustics: The integrated underlay and rigid core help improve sound insulation, reducing impact noise by 18–22 dB—warmer and more forgiving underfoot than ceramic tiles.

Authentic Realism: High-definition digital printing with synchronised embossing achieves remarkable visual fidelity. Dimensional Stability: The SPC core reduces expansion and contraction to approximately 0.25%. Easy Maintenance: The protective top layer resists stains and requires only damp mopping with pH-neutral cleaner—no sanding, sealing or waxing needed.

Floorify Collections Available at Hyperion Tiles

We stock the full Floorify portfolio, including:

• Wide oak-look planks at approximately 1500 mm long and 180–250 mm wide, ideal for contemporary open-plan living rooms and lofts.
• Herringbone-format planks (90 x 900 mm) recreating classic parquet layouts—perfect for entrance halls, formal sitting rooms or boutique hotels.
• Stone and concrete-effect luxury vinyl floor tiles in larger formats (600 x 900 mm range), delivering the look of porcelain stoneware with softer underfoot comfort.
• Terrazzo and patterned designs working beautifully in feature hallways, downstairs WCs, bars or café-style kitchen diners.

We help clients mix and match different Floorify ranges within one scheme—for example, wood effect planks in living areas paired with coordinating stone-look tiles in bathrooms.

Design Inspiration: How to Use Floorify LVT in Your Home or Project

• Warm family spaces: Oak effect Floorify planks in honey or beige tones for family kitchens and open-plan living rooms, paired with our porcelain splashbacks or decorative mosaics.
• Contemporary city apartments: Grey oak or smoked wood effects combined with minimalist furniture and large-format wall tiles.
• Spa-style bathrooms: Stone or concrete-effect Floorify tiles coordinated with our natural stone or porcelain wall tiles for hotel-inspired looks.
• Classic elegance: Herringbone layouts in entrance halls or dining rooms echoing traditional parquet while benefiting from water resistant performance.
• Commercial applications: Boutique retail, salons or offices where durability, acoustic comfort and quick installation timelines matter.

Installation Considerations for Floorify Luxury Vinyl Flooring

While Floorify is engineered for straightforward installation, correct preparation is vital. The subfloor must be smooth, level, dry and free from dust, debris or old adhesive. Ground floors and basements require moisture testing. Most Floorify products use a click system with integrated underlay, reducing preparation needs, but perimeter expansion gaps must follow manufacturer instructions. A typical 20–30 m² room can be completed within 1–2 days.

Care and Maintenance of Floorify LVT

Avoid steam mops (temperatures above 40°C can damage the surface) and harsh chemicals like bleach. When properly maintained, our Floorify floors retain their appearance for many years throughout their warranty period.
