Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is an excellent flooring choice for any home. There are multiple options for LVT, so if you’re not sure which choice is best, here are some things to know about Forbo Allura LVT flooring.
Features
Forbo Allura is an LVT product that utilizes a glass fleece core, along with the other typical layers in LVT. One of these layers includes a calendered backing layer, which includes recycled content. Additionally, the substrate for printing results in extremely realistic natural stone or wood design layers.
Benefits
The makeup of Forbo Allura results in an exceptionally durable, impact- and water-resistant product that makes it a great choice for any room. Additionally, it’s an environmentally-friendly product. Carefully chosen raw materials as well as recycled materials are used for this quality product, and there are no phthalates that can be harmful to the environment.
Installation Methods
This type of LVT has multiple installation method options. Glue-down tiles use an adhesive to adhere the individual tiles directly to the subfloor. This is a good option for a subfloor that’s completely flat and dry. Locking system tiles connect together and float just above the subfloor. Looselay tiles have special grip backing to grip the tile to the subfloor. A flooring professional will help decide which installation method works best for your home.

There are also numerous finishes and textures to choose from. Additionally, LVT is sound absorbing, durable, and warm underfoot. It can even be used with floor heating and cooling systems. This makes it suitable for any application in your home.
