Can't vouch for "Malmo", Jolitaa, but can say that in general, LVTs are very easy to live with when dealing with a busy household. Resilience and low on maintenance are the main benefits you gain.

However, you do need to make sure your chosen LVT reproduces the natural look of the wood or stone effect it is imitating. Cheap Chinese imports don't look as authentic as the major brands. They are cheaper but they don't look great and are likely to not perform as well either.

Would we recommend LVT products? You betcha!

Do we recommend Malmo? Erm… not heard of the product so currently would't say yay or nay! If you forward a link as to where we can view it online we'll give you our impartial thoughts, if that's any use for you.

Bye for now.

Bumping up for you. Not heard of them personally but I’m gettingLVT from Cavalio (which is Polyfloor) commercial grade glue down (they also do a click version) with 0.55 wear . Fitter said it’s really good quality, easy to fit and to me, is a much better/more realistic finish than the Karndean I saw. It cost me just over £20 sqm and is commercial grade. They will send you a sample book for colours and the commercial one is the Projectline which isn’t in the shops. I’m v impressed with it, I must say. Hope you get an answer!

Is does seem that the lesser known brands of LVT are the same thickness and same warranty as the major brands- the difference seems to be the colour choice and size of marketing budget. So as long as you like the colour choice with another brand then I think the cost saving is worth having. Separately the issue with herringbone over an expansive area is making the pattern meet up- generally a competent fitter will have no problems- I wonder if the issue is that you aren’t actually looking at LVT but instead floating floors (click together floors as opposed to stick down to the screed). Floating floors need to expand and over a large sized area can need an expansion strip adding which looks fine if you can add it to a doorway but looks odd in the middle of a large room.

Hello, Can you help me understand the German AgBB VOC emissions for LVT floors? The product I'm considering says its <0.5mg/m3. However, I can't seem to find how this translates to Very low, low, adequate, high or similar. I see that the French version has A+, A, etc which makes it easier, but if you have any insight would be great. I've already contacted the company and asked them but they are taking some time to respond. Many thanks

Thanks for the link which has help us understand this product is part of IDS' collection, This means they import the product from somewhere and re-brand it under their own name/label, in this case, as "Malmo"

We still do not know, unfortunately, which product they have re-branded but IDS are a reputable UK-wide company and their LVT will probably be a good product.

Rigid core LVT is the new generation of LVT flooring and generally is pretty robust.

Here are some other viable alternatives to consider:

We had Malmo fitted at our last house, it got one decent scratch on it from moving a heavy dining table, but I don't think many floors would have held up to that. I thought it looked great and currently trying to decide whether to get same again but I cant vouch for longevity as we were only there a year with it.
