Luxury vinyl doesn't require traditional underlay. With dryback LVT, you can either use HT adhesive or our LVT flexible self-adhesive 'underlay' - a sticky sheet that can be trimmed to size that's so quick and easy to install. Our flexi underlay is also compatible with click LVT; however, all our current ranges of click LVT have underlay already built in - clever!
Yes, we can arrange fitting! Fitting LVT or any other type of flooring purchased from Tapi is an additional service that we can arrange with independent fitters if you need us to. To fit LVT costs £17.50 per m2 - just let us know if you want fitting included in your quote. We can also arrange for the fitters to uplift and remove your old flooring at the same time for an additional fee. Ordering flooring from Tapi gives you complete flexibility, so if you decide you just want to order LVT from us and use your own fitter or install it yourself, that's absolutely fine!
Luxury vinyl is one of the more expensive smooth flooring options, but thanks to its durability, it’s a long-term investment - some styles have a lifetime wear guarantee!
Fitting costs start from £15 per m2 for dryback LVT and £17.50 per m2 for click LVT, and our cheapest dryback luxury vinyl is £22.99 per m2. This means it will cost just over £450 to install LVT in a 3x4 metre room, then you’d need to add on any door bars, and in the case of dryback LVT, add on glue as well. There might also be some extra costs to prepare the subfloor for a new smooth floor, depending on its condition.

Yes! Luxury vinyl floor tiles have a special waterproof coating, so they're the perfect flooring choice for bathrooms, utility rooms, and kitchens. However, there's a small chance moisture or water could get in the joins between each tile, so it's best to clean up any spills right away and take care when mopping your floor.
Preparing your subfloor is key to getting the best performance out of your new LVT flooring. Unlike carpet, smooth flooring will show up any imperfections in the subfloor, so you need to make sure your subfloor is dry, smooth, structurally sound, and free from debris. Our guide to preparing your subfloor will tell you all the things you need to know.
If you're not sure of the condition of your subfloor, we can assess it for you during a home visit or when we do our measurement checks. If it turns out your subfloor needs repairing or replacing, we can provide you with a quote, and arrange this additional service with independent fitters if you’re happy to go ahead.
