LVT Flooring Accessories

Complete your new floor with the right LVT flooring accessories at JJ Building Materials. Our range includes Luvanto flooring adhesives, acoustic underlays, subfloor preparation materials, decorative design strips, finishing strips and floor care products. Whether you are installing glue-down luxury vinyl tiles, fitting a compatible click LVT system or maintaining an existing floor, the correct accessories help protect the installation and achieve a professional finish.

Browse the available LVT accessories above and use this buying guide to understand which products are appropriate for your project. It is important to select the flooring first: a product approved for dryback vinyl may not suit floating click flooring. If you are still deciding on the surface itself, explore our LVT flooring collection for Luvanto click and glue-down options. For wider renovation projects, view our tiles and flooring accessories or wood flooring accessories.

What LVT Flooring Accessories Do You Need?

The answer depends on the flooring range, substrate and the room's conditions. A glue-down installation may require suitable levelling materials, primer and approved adhesive. Some specialist glued systems can use approved acoustic underlays. A click floor may have integrated backing, in which case extra soft underlay may be unsuitable. Decorative Design Strips are intended for designated glue-down products, while cleaning accessories help preserve the floor after fitting.

Before ordering, read the complete LVT flooring buying guide and the current fitting instructions for your chosen floor. The most economical approach is usually a short list of materials that are proven compatible rather than a large basket of generic products.

LVT Flooring Adhesives: Universal and High-Temperature Options

Dryback LVT is fixed to a prepared substrate with the adhesive specified for the particular product. Our range includes Luvanto Universal Adhesive for compatible installations and Luvanto High Temperature Adhesive for installations requiring the relevant formulation. The right choice depends on subfloor material, tile backing, site temperature and exposure to direct sunlight.

High-temperature adhesive is not a blanket solution for conservatories or sunny extensions. The flooring itself must be suitable for the conditions, and specific temperature limits still apply. Consult our LVT adhesive buying guide: universal versus high-temperature glue for selection criteria, indicative coverage and common fitting mistakes.

Acoustic Underlay for Click and Glue-Down LVT

Acoustic underlay can form part of an approved LVT installation where impact sound reduction is important, particularly in flats or upstairs rooms. However, the term underlay covers different systems. Luvanto Click Plus has integrated backing in its specified construction, so adding an unrelated soft underlay could allow too much movement beneath the locking joints.

The collection includes Luvanto SoundBarrier Acoustic Underlay and Luvanto Quiet Roll Universal 2mm, which is described for fully glued dryback LVT installations. These products are not interchangeable. Check the exact flooring, acoustic objective, subfloor and bonding details. For a full explanation, read our LVT underlay buying guide for click, acoustic and dryback floors.

LVT Subfloor Preparation and Floor Levelling

Correct subfloor preparation can be more important than the decorative flooring itself. Uneven concrete or timber surfaces can lead to visible imperfections in glue-down LVT and stress at the joints of click flooring. Damp substrates, weak old adhesive and loose timber boards need suitable assessment and treatment before installation.

Our range includes Luvanto Jumpax Basic floor leveller, designed to help produce a suitable surface in approved situations. Check the product coverage, flooring compatibility and full installation system before buying. Some floors need moisture testing, a specialist primer or an approved overlay rather than a simple levelling layer. Read how to prepare a subfloor for LVT flooring before fitting.

LVT Design Strips, Feature Borders and Finishing Strips

Decorative design strips can create an imitation grout line, a contrast between tiles or a border around a particular area. They are often used with suitable Luvanto Design glue-down flooring. Luvanto advises that its Design Strips must not be used with click-lock LVT systems. Always match the strip to the actual flooring format.

Explore Luvanto 914 x 2mm Design Strips and Luvanto 2700 x 16 x 6mm Finishing Strips. Check the exact intended use and pack quantities: a decorative strip is not automatically a door threshold or a movement joint. Our LVT design strips and finishing guide

LVT Cleaning and Maintenance Products

Once the floor has been installed, grit removal, sensible furniture protection and appropriate cleaning help maintain the surface. Luvanto advises against steam cleaners, bleach-based and abrasive detergents that may damage LVT and compromise warranty conditions. A regular soft sweep or suitable vacuum followed by manufacturer-approved damp mopping is usually preferable.

The Luvanto Floor Cleaning Kit is available within this accessories collection for compatible Luvanto flooring care. Always read the specific care-product instructions rather than mixing detergents or guessing dilution rates. For practical cleaning schedules, stains and mistakes to avoid, see how to clean LVT flooring: care, stains and maintenance.

Which LVT Accessories Are Suitable for Underfloor Heating?

Underfloor heating can change the requirements for flooring, adhesive and underlay. The floor manufacturer's temperature limits must be respected at the relevant layer of the floor assembly. Luvanto publishes maximum operating guidance for relevant systems, and high-temperature rooms may require additional installation precautions. Not every click floor or acoustic underlay is approved for every heated substrate.

Check the floor's thermal resistance and the system's permitted adhesive or acoustic layer. Our LVT for underfloor heating and sunny rooms guide

How to Calculate Accessory Quantities

Measure the floor in square metres before selecting product coverage. Adhesive consumption depends on the correct trowel, substrate and the vinyl backing; the manufacturer's spread rate is the governing figure. Underlay rolls and levelling products have their own coverage measures, while design strips may be calculated from the number of joints and border lengths.

Do not order an acoustic roll simply because its area matches your LVT packs. Confirm first that the floor can use that underlay. Likewise, allow for complete pack quantities, cutting, appropriate overage and any primer or treatment specified by the fitter. Our LVT pack sizes and flooring quantities guide

LVT Accessories FAQs

Do I need adhesive for click LVT flooring?

Ordinary click-lock floors are designed as floating systems and do not normally use full-spread adhesive. Follow the specific fitting instructions.

What adhesive should I use for glue-down LVT?

Use a manufacturer-approved product suited to the exact vinyl, subfloor and conditions. High-temperature systems may be required in some approved installations.

Does click LVT need underlay?

Not always. Some ranges, including relevant Luvanto Click Plus products, have integrated backing; unapproved extra underlay may damage joints.

What is the purpose of LVT design strips?

They create decorative lines and borders in compatible glue-down flooring. Luvanto Design Strips are not intended for click-lock floors.

Can floor leveller be used on any subfloor?

No. Suitability depends on substrate construction, moisture and the levelling product's intended installation method.

Can I clean LVT with a steam mop?

Luvanto advises against steam cleaning because heat and moisture can cause damage and affect warranty cover.

How much adhesive do I need?

Calculate from the area, specified product coverage and suitable trowel. Confirm current coverage rates, not an assumed universal figure.
