Luxury Rigid Vinyl is SPC click flooring with a solid polymer core, in plank, wide plank, herringbone and tile. All 36 BML floors are listed as waterproof, arrive with the underlay attached and are listed as compatible with underfloor heating.
Still unsure? Real people, honest advice.
Rigid vinyl is the floor for the rooms where wood cannot go and laminate should not. Every floor in this range is a BML SPC click floor: a printed oak or stone design under a clear wear layer, on a solid polymer core, with the underlay already attached. All 36 are listed as waterproof, commercial grade, compatible with underfloor heating, and carry a 25 year manufacturer's warranty. The core is the whole argument. It takes on no water, it does not swell, and it is stiff enough to float over a subfloor that would show through a flexible vinyl.
The range is four formats under one heading, and the format is the first decision. The 5.2 mm plank, 181 mm by 1220 mm, is the everyday floor in twelve tones, with a 0.3 mm wear layer. The 6.5 mm floors carry a 0.55 mm wear layer: a 228 mm by 1524 mm wide plank in twelve tones, a 126 mm by 630 mm herringbone block in eight, and a 305 mm by 610 mm tile in four slate and concrete designs. The wear layer is the number to specify. It is the clear film over the design, and it is what a chair leg, a dog's claws and hallway grit act on.
Colour is organised by tone in the subcategories: beige and light browns, mid browns, dark browns, greys, white, black, and the herringbone pattern as a group of its own. The printed designs repeat across a box, so a floor of one tone reads more evenly than an oak floor of the same tone; that is either the point or the drawback, depending on the room, and a sample laid next to a real oak sample settles it quickly.
The laying rules are the ones for floating floors: a clean, flat, dry subfloor, an expansion gap at the edges, and the boxes acclimatised in the room before opening. The industry figures for the gap and the acclimatisation period are quoted below. Over underfloor heating, keep the surface temperature within the limit the heating standard sets.
