If you don’t fancy the time and effort of maintaining a solid hardwood floor, don’t panic. Long gone are the days where you would have to settle for a poor imitation of wood that looks nothing like the original.
Modern laminate, or particularly Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) is incredibly realistic, extremely easy to maintain and outperforms wood in many areas, including energy efficiency.
All floors need maintenance to some extent but LVT really is as low-effort as it gets and can be installed over all forms of underfloor heating systems.
