Waterproof flooring answers that brief. At Hardly Floors we supply the trade with [waterproof luxury vinyl flooring](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/product-range/waterproof-lvt-flooring "Waterproof LVT flooring range") built for busy homes and modern living. It is 100% waterproof, so water will not ruin the finish. This flooring is also suitable for all rooms. You can specify it for a kitchen or bathroom just as confidently as a hallway.

Click planks lock together over the existing floor, while dryback planks are glued down for a very flat, solid finish. If you are unsure which format suits a job, our team will explain the difference in plain terms. ## Realistic Wood Effect Finishes Waterproof certainly does not mean plain. Our [Lignum collection](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/brands/category/lignum-flooring "Lignum flooring") recreates the warmth and grain of natural timber. Lighter tones include Barley oak, Linen oak and Seashell oak, which help smaller rooms feel brighter and more open. For deeper warmth, consider Mocha oak, Truffle oak or Ranch oak. Greywood oak and Rustic grey oak suit cooler, more contemporary schemes, while Sahara oak sits comfortably between the two. ![Barley oak herringbone waterproof LVT flooring](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/media/com_hikashop/upload/safe/barley-oak-herringbone-lifestyle.jpg) ![Carrara White Marble Matt waterproof LVT flooring in a kitchen](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/media/com_hikashop/upload/safe/carrara-white-matt-lifestyle.jpg) ## Stone And Marble Effects Some briefs call for a stone look instead, and that option is covered too. Charcoal Slate creates a deep, dramatic floor. Light Grey Slate and Beige Slate feel considerably softer and calmer. Carrara White Marble Matt delivers a genuinely luxurious finish without the cost or upkeep of real stone. ## Herringbone Or Straight Plank Most finishes are available in two layouts, so you can match the look to the brief.

Bathrooms and utility rooms are equally suitable, since water presents no threat to the surface. Hallways and open-plan spaces also work well, as the pattern can flow through the ground floor. ## Why Specify Waterproof LVT? Upkeep is straightforward, because a mop and warm water will handle most cleaning. The planks feel solid underfoot and cope well with the demands of daily use. Most importantly, water damage is no longer a concern, which means fewer complaints once a job is handed over. ![Charcoal Slate waterproof LVT flooring in a bathroom](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/media/com_hikashop/upload/safe/charcoal-slate-lifestyle.jpg) ![Lee Distribution, the family flooring business behind Hardly Floors, in the 1970s](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/images/story/1974.png) ## A Trusted Trade Partner Our family has worked in flooring [since the 1960s](https://www.hardlyfloors.ie/our-story "Our story"), starting as an agent for vinyl makers Armstrong and GAF.
