Why care homes use this

LVT has become the standard bedroom flooring specification across the UK care home sector in new builds and refurbishments because its real-material appearance supports a domestic feel rather than an institutional look — a factor in DSDC dementia design guidance. The R10 wet slip rating meets care home requirements and the click-installation system allows individual damaged tiles to be replaced without disturbing surrounding flooring.

Key specification

0.7 mm wear layer; total thickness 5–6 mm; R10 slip rating (DIN 51130); click or adhesive installation; suitable for electric underfloor heating; compatible with most rolling loads up to 75 kg/cm².
