You’ve likely heard the term LVT, which stands for Luxury Vinyl Tiles, but do you know what our planks are made of and why you might choose dryback over click? This guide provides everything you need to know about LVT and how to select the perfect flooring for your needs.
Dryback LVT
Also known as stick-down, dryback LVT is the standard LVT product. Its thickness can range from 2 to 3 mm and it must be adhered to the floor using either a self-adhesive underlay or glue.
Proper subfloor preparation is crucial for this product, which is why we always recommend hiring a fully trained installer to ensure perfect placement. Taking the time to prepare your subfloor will lead to optimal installation and a floor that will look beautiful for years to come.

Click LVT
Our click planks are made from a stone polymer compound, making them exceptionally strong. They feature 5G push-click technology, which simplifies installation. These planks come with built-in underlay that not only reduces noise by up to 20 dB but also allows for slightly imperfect subfloors. So, if you have original tiles you don’t want to remove or existing floorboards, installation can proceed as long as your floor is dry, smooth, and crack-free.

-
- Built-in underlay
- Sound reduction of up to 20 dB
- Quick and easy to install
- Ideal for conservatories and south-facing rooms
