LooseLay Originals are 4.5mm luxury vinyl planks that lie flat on a prepared subfloor without full-spread adhesive. A friction-grip backing holds each 1050mm by 250mm plank in place, so single planks can be lifted and replaced if one is damaged. The printed timber designs sit under a 0.55mm clear wear layer, with embossed texture that follows the grain; edges are square, not bevelled. The range runs from pale limed oaks to rustic browns and greys. Vinyl is quiet and warm underfoot and the plank won’t swell, so spills and mopping are fine, though water can still get underneath. It suits living areas, kitchens and rentals; floors near big sunny windows may need adhesive and UV protection. Underfloor heating is fine up to a 27°C floor surface. Lifetime residential warranty, which the manufacturer defines as 35 years, subject to its installation and care conditions.

Will it suit your home?

Bathrooms & laundriesNot confirmed yet
Check with us before choosing this for a bathroom or laundry; water can travel under loose-laid planks, so it depends on the room.
Underfloor heatingWith conditions
Suits underfloor heating that keeps the floor surface at 27°C or below; avoid rubber-backed rugs, which can cause hot spots.
Sanding & refinishingNot applicable
Vinyl has a printed design layer under its wear layer, so it can't be sanded or refinished.
Pets & high trafficA good choice
A 0.55mm wear layer backed by a 15-year commercial warranty, so it suits pets and busy homes; use felt pads and castor cups.
Apartments (acoustic)Rating not confirmed
Vinyl on its own may not meet apartment noise rules, so strata will need test results for your exact floor; check with us first.
