Home Office LVT Flooring

Choosing LVT Flooring for a Home Office

A home office floor needs to cope with a slightly different pattern of use from many other rooms. Desks and storage furniture may remain in the same position for long periods, while the area around an office chair can experience frequent concentrated movement. When comparing LVT, check the individual product specification, wear layer and suitability for your intended use rather than choosing on appearance alone.

LVT also gives you considerable freedom over the look of your workspace. Wood-effect designs can create a warmer, more traditional study appearance, while stone and contemporary designs can work particularly well in modern offices. If your office forms part of a bedroom, living room or other multi-purpose space, you may prefer a design that continues or complements the flooring elsewhere in your home.

Think About Your Desk and Office Chair

How you use your desk area is worth considering before choosing a floor. Repeated movement from castor chairs can place additional demands on the surface, so check the flooring manufacturer's guidance for the particular product you are considering. A suitable chair mat can also be considered where appropriate. Heavy desks, cabinets and other office furniture should be positioned in accordance with the manufacturer's installation and care instructions.

Which Type of LVT Should You Choose?

Home office LVT is available in several constructions and fitting methods. Glue-down flooring is bonded to a suitably prepared subfloor, while click and rigid core products provide alternatives where a floating installation is appropriate. The best choice will depend on the condition of your subfloor, required floor height and how you intend the flooring to be installed.
