What is the difference between flexible and rigid core light LVT flooring? 

Flexible LVT flooring is pliable and can conform to minor irregularities in the subfloor. It's a good choice for spaces where there’s less foot traffic. Rigid core, however, has a sturdier composition, which makes it highly durable and perfect for areas with heavy foot traffic. Rigid core LVT is also 100% waterproof, making it ideal for areas prone to moisture such as kitchens or bathrooms.

How long will light LVT floors last?

The typical lifespan of light-coloured LVT floors is anywhere between 15 and 30 years. The longevity of LVT floors depends on various factors. These include the wear layer and thickness of the floor, the materials used to produce it, how it is installed, and how well it is cared for. 

Regular light maintenance, such as sweeping, mopping, and cleaning up spills as soon as they occur, can extend the life of your light LVT floors. A thicker design also adds to the floor's durability, while correct installation will lower its risk of getting damaged over time.
