How does oak LVT compare to real wood flooring?

Real oak flooring is stunning, no doubt, but it's sensitive to moisture and needs quite a bit of tender loving care. On the other hand, Oak LVT still looks fabulous but is tough against spills, easier on the wallet, and doesn't need polishing that often. It's also fantastic at standing up to scratches and dents, which makes it great for busy households.

This makes these floors especially great for places in your home where real wood would be too much maintenance.

Can I use oak LVT in bathrooms and kitchens?

Oak LVT flooring is perfect for both bathrooms and kitchens. Traditionally, these are no-go zones for real wood due to the amount of moisture they experience.

Imagine stepping out of the shower onto a warm oak floor or cooking up a storm in a kitchen that looks like it's straight out of a cosy country cottage.
