As flooring trends continue to evolve in Ireland, one option has steadily risen to the top: click vinyl flooring, also known as LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles). It’s stylish, durable, water-resistant, and perfectly suited for modern Irish homes.
In this blog, we’ll explore what makes LVT such a smart investment—and why Deco Stones recommends it for virtually any room in your home.
What Is Click Vinyl Flooring?
Click vinyl flooring is a multi-layered, synthetic floor covering designed to mimic natural materials like wood, stone, or concrete. Thanks to modern technology, the resemblance is so strong that many customers can’t tell the difference until they touch it!
The "click" system refers to its easy installation method, where planks snap together without glue. This means quicker renovations and less mess—ideal for busy households and professional installers alike.
Perfect for Underfloor Heating in Irish Homes
One of the major benefits of LVT is that it's compatible with underfloor heating—a popular feature in Irish renovations. Click vinyl planks are thin (usually 4–7 mm) and have excellent thermal conductivity, meaning heat travels through efficiently and warms your space evenly.
Just make sure to pair it with the right underlay, which we can help you choose!
100% Waterproof – Even for Kitchens & Bathrooms
Unlike traditional laminate or hardwood, click vinyl is fully waterproof, making it a fantastic choice for:
-
Bathrooms (outside of showers)
-
Kitchens and utility rooms
-
Hallways and entryways
Spills? No problem. Moisture? Easily handled. Vinyl planks are built to resist the everyday challenges of Irish weather and family life.
Where Can You Use Click Vinyl Flooring?
Anywhere! It’s perfect for:
-
Living rooms
-
Bedrooms
-
Kitchens
-
Bathrooms (not inside shower areas)
-
Home offices
-
Rental properties
-
Even light commercial spaces
Whether you're renovating a cottage in Cork or modernizing an apartment in Dublin, click vinyl flooring is adaptable, stylish and low-maintenance.

Installation Tips
Click vinyl flooring is DIY-friendly, but a smooth, level subfloor is essential. Don’t forget to:
-
Acclimate the flooring 24–48 hours before installation
-
Use a quality underlay (ask us for recommendations!)
-
Leave expansion gaps around the edges
-
Use panels A and B if installing in herringbone style
