Belgotex Vinyl Tiles: Top Features & Benefits

September 15th 2025

Belgotex vinyl tiles are some of the most trusted in the game, easily beating out many other hard flooring options with an elegant look that somehow doesn't compromise on practicality. After all, if you're anything like every other Kiwi giving their floors some TLC, you want an option that will stand the test of time. 

You might be bringing some new lift to your wet areas or upgrading your whole home; either way, Belgotex vinyl tiles are one of the sleekest and most versatile solutions you can choose, but what is it that makes this brand so well regarded? 

Built-in Waterproofing

Any Kiwi homeowner knows the year-round battle against moisture and humidity well. This battle is particularly fraught in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. High humidity, regular spills and even the occasional plumbing mishap are all par for the course in these rooms , which is why your flooring of choice needs to stand up to moisture easily.

This is one of the reasons we love Belgotex. Their LVT ranges are completely waterproof, with every single tile having a multi-layered structure that prevents any water from seeping into your subfloor and causing long-term damage . They're ideal for wet zones where timber, laminate or carpet just won't cut it. 

Not to mention, the tight click-lock installation systems or adhesive based options create a sealed surface that's easy to clean and doesn't allow leaks. Unlike some of the more natural materials they're mimicking, this interlocking system also allows for comfortable flexibility underfoot, which is vital if you have little ones or pets in your home. 

True-to-Life Designs 

One of the main reasons many modern homeowners have a bad impression of vinyl flooring is the 'plastic-look' of the floors from days gone by, but thanks to some fairly excellent modern innovations like advanced printing and embossing, each type of LVT replicates the fine details of the natural material it's meant to mimic with striking realism. The veins of slate, the grain of oak, the dry brush and the pebble of concrete. 

The secret? Texture. More specifically, textural depth. Belgotex LVT use embossed-in-register technology, which makes sure the textured surface matches the printed design perfectly. In other words, if your tiles look like rustic wood planks, they will feel like rustic wood underfoot too. 

This kinds of attention to detail sets Belgotex apart as hard flooring brand, meaning you can access a luxe, high-end look without your wallet taking a major hit. Think warm-toned oak finishes, rich walnut panelling or textured concrete for an industrial appeal. 


Soft, Quiet & Comfortable underfoot

We've all cursed a loud roommate or family member for going clunking arounf on hard flooring at 3am but did you know that you're less likely to encounter this issue with luxury vinyl tiles? While they won't keep your resident insomniac abed, they do offer and quiet ffloor to walk on with no unceremonious creaking or clunking. 

Unlike ceramic tiles, stones or natural timber planks. Belgotex LVT have built-in flexible backing and cushioned layers that make a point of absorbing impact and sound. That means no more echoey footall across the hallway and no chilly shock to your feet in winter. Plus, that subtle give is much gentler on young and old joints. 

If you're considering installing an underfloor heating system as well, your Belgotex tiles are compatible with. Ideal if you're constantly hopping from warm spot to warm spot in the cold months. 

Tough and Easy to Care for

No matter how careful and clean you are, your floors will always taken an unavoidable beating. It's just the nature of floors. Little muddy shoes, gambolling pets, scratches from furniture, spills and tumbles; these are all to be expected for any floor and ideally endured. Belgotex vinyl tiles are designed to handle heavy traffic without complaint, take regular cleaning without stripping and don't mind a bit of rough-and-tumble occasionally. 

Each tile's surface is reinforced with a polyurethane wear layer to resist that surface-level damage, so you won't have to spend your weekends scrubbing or sealing your floors to keep them happy. You can have that gorgeous look of timber without breaking out the sander every few months to keep it shinning. 

On top of all of that, Belgotex LVT ranges also come with extensive residential warranties. These cover wear, water resistance and structual integrity over set periods of times, so you know exactly what your floors can handle.
