The ultimate in vinyl flooring - LVT
Dry back and click LVT flooring are two common installation methods, each with its own advantages. Dry back LVT, also known as glue-down LVT, requires adhesive to secure the planks or tiles to the subfloor, providing a stable and long-lasting finish. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas and commercial spaces due to its durability and resistance to movement. Click LVT, on the other hand, features a locking mechanism that allows the planks to be fitted together without glue, making it easier and quicker to install. This floating floor system is a popular choice for residential settings as it can be laid over existing subfloors
Stunning designs and finishes
As with standard vinyl floors, there is an almost limitless range of colours and patterns to choose from with luxury vinyl tiles. On top of this, the modular nature of the tile system means that there are even more design options available! You can choose LVT flooring that’s designed to mimic the look of wood or stone floors, combining the aesthetic appeal of those materials with comfort and practicality – and warmth underfoot! – of a more modern material.
In our showroom, we have a great range of colours, patterns, and designs. Why not spend time browsing what we have? Our team will be happy to help you find the right style for your property.
A highly regarded local flooring company
Gemma Gribben
Very happy with the herringbone laminate I purchased. Guy came out to measure and advised on options available. They also refunded me for the excess I did not need and underlay. Have used this company for my kitchen floor, carpets and bedrooms. Would highly recommend.
Anna Chan

Ricky Mullen
I have used this place a lot and always have excellent service. Work is brilliant and a lot of choice. Staff are exceptionally helpful and would recommend them to anyone. Great prices too and always prompt with the work. Thanks again.

Regan came to measure my floor space, I am usually hesitant about people coming into my home. I need not have worried, as Regan has a "flair" that immediately helped me feel at ease. Regan showed a genuine desire to help keep costs reasonable, he was so friendly without being pushy. I would not hesitate to recommend Regan and the services provided by Flairplan. I am delighted with my new carpets and will continue to use Flairplan in the future.
What is the difference between Amtico and LVT Flooring?
Amtico flooring and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring are often compared, but the key distinction is that Amtico is a premium brand of LVT, rather than a separate type of flooring.
LVT, on the other hand, is a broader category of flooring that includes various brands, including Amtico, Karndean, and Moduleo. While LVT can vary in quality, cheaper LVT brands may have thinner wear layers and less durability compared to Amtico. Standard LVT flooring typically offers wood and stone-effect designs, but it may not have the same intricate detailing or long-lasting surface protection as Amtico. If you’re looking for high-end, durable flooring with extensive design choices, Amtico is a great option. However, if you need a more budget-friendly alternative, there are plenty of LVT options available at different price points.
What is the difference between Karndean and LVT Flooring?
Karndean flooring and LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring are often compared, but the key difference is that Karndean is a brand of LVT rather than a separate type of flooring. Karndean is known for its high-quality designs, durability, and realistic textures, offering premium wood and stone-effect flooring. It uses advanced printing and embossing technologies to create highly authentic finishes and comes with K-Guard+ surface protection, making it more resistant to scratches and wear. Karndean flooring is available in different installation formats, including glue-down, loose lay, and rigid core.
LVT, on the other hand, refers to a category of flooring that includes various brands, such as Karndean, Amtico, and Moduleo. The quality of LVT can vary depending on the brand and price point, with some budget options offering thinner wear layers and less durability. While many LVT brands provide similar installation options (glue-down and click), not all have the same level of design realism or surface protection as Karndean. If you're looking for a premium, long-lasting floor with a natural appearance, Karndean is a great choice. However, if you're on a budget or want more variety, there are many LVT options available at different price points.
