Luxury Vinyl Tiles for Stylish Bathrooms & Kitchens
August 24th 2025
There's no denying that bathrooms and kitchens need to work hard. Between the splashes and spills, the humidity and temperature changes. These high-traffic areas are some of the most challenged in your home. That's why they call for a flooring option that's tough, safe and stylish.
You've got a renovation budget to respect, so brand-new stone or treated timber might be out of the question. That's where Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) shine. These beauties are perfect for homeowners after a certain look without an enormous price tag and they're quickly becoming popular as a durable flooring solution across the board.
Are Luxury Vinyl Tiles suitable for Wet Areas?
LVT for bathrooms and kitchens are designed with resilience in mind, they're made of multiple layers and don't absorb water or warp the way that natural wood or timber might. In face, when installed correctly, the durable wear layer and water resistant core of LVT create a nearly seamless surface that stands up beautifully to even the biggest splashes. For kitchens and bathrooms, where moisture is virtually unavoidable day-to-day, LVT is the most reliable and long lasting choice.
Built-in Safety Features
In rooms like your kitchen or bathroom, where spills are the order of the day, safety is arguably more important than style. Many LVTs come with built-in slip-resistant textures. This is ideal if you have young children and elderly. A good way to make sure your LVT selection will offer the right kind of slip resistance is to look for the anti-slip rating.
How Realistic are wood-look Vinyl Tiles?
In New Zealand, Luxury Vinyl Tiles for bathrooms and kitchens has steadily gain popularity over the decades, which means there is a wide variety of looks and textures to choose from. Wood-look tiles are highly prized but there is also a range of stone and tile looks available. These tiles look modern and realistic which is why they have become so popular in kiwi homes.
Manufacturers have grown more consistent, allowing more complex prints and embossing to deliver that sought-after stone or wood look without the cost and maintenance the real thing would demand. You can enjoy the look of rich hardwood floors or elegant stone tiles without worrying about chips, stains or water damage.
