Ships decking effect on LVT

HU-247598481
3 years ago

Hi. Am thinking a ship's decking effect with Amtico or Karndean wood look LVT might make it look more authentic in my home - especially the hall and kitchen.
Are there disadvantages?

    If you buy click together LVT rather than glue down, you generally get that individual plank look. Moduleo and QS Flooring do some. Karndean also do but only a few choices. Click is also much easier & cheaper to lay of course!

      I don’t understand the question. Can you elaborate.

      Basically you can put design strips around each LVT plank to make it look like a separate plank. Looks a bit like ship's deck.

      The design strips can make it look more authentic if you choose the right tone strip. I thought you meant do the floor in a straight lay like a ships deck.

      I think it also depends on the actual floor chosen ,I personally don’t find that they match in terms of what looks realistic

      Thanks for the photo. I am probably going for this Karndean but I am concerned that it will look too plastic and uniform rather than a wood effect.

      I’m not anti LVT, I’m having some laid in my sons bedroom next week. However is there a reason you’re not considering wood if you’re worried?

      Thanks minnie101. It's mainly for the kitchen so was concerned about appliances leaking etc. Engineered wood is very expensive.

      I don’t think LVT will ever look like a real wood floor.

      Just realised this is an old post resurrected by a spammer!
