LVT Bathroom Flooring FAQs

Is LVT flooring suitable for bathrooms?

Absolutely! One of the main benefits of LVT is that it is highly water resistant and durable. This means it can withstand exposure to moisture much better than other flooring types. We also find that slip-resistant LVT is a great choice for bathrooms, especially in home with young children or older adults who may be prone to falls.

What’s the best way to lay LVT in the bathroom?

When installing LVT in your bathroom, we recommend hiring a professional to ensure the job is done right with a good seal against water damage. When you buy bathroom LVT from Tapi, we can arrange an independent team of fitters to install it for you for a hassle-free flooring experience!

However, if you’re a keen DIYer, we do have a full guide on how to lay LVT flooring.

Are luxury vinyl tiles waterproof?

LVT is typically described as ‘water resistant’. This means that it has a special water resistant coating that makes them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. However, there is a small chance moisture or water can get underneath the vinyl, so it’s best to clean up any spills right away and take care when mopping the floor. You can find more information in our guide, ‘Is LVT waterproof?’.

How do I clean LVT flooring in my bathroom?

Luxury vinyl tiles are simple to care for and easy to keep clean. Thanks to their PU protection shield layer, they’re water resistant and offer excellent resistance to scratches and stains – just make sure any big spills (like when the kids make tidal waves in the bath!) are dried up quickly to avoid long-term damage.
