Defining Quality Vinyl Flooring: The Pro-Tek™ Difference
When it comes to Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), not all products are made equal. Pro-Tek™ goes beyond standard vinyl, offering precision-engineered cores that provide superior performance, comfort, and stability for real-world use.
Understanding Tek-Core™ (Excel Range)
Tek-Core™ is a premium foamed vinyl core that pushes the boundaries of quality vinyl flooring. It is thicker, lighter, and warmer underfoot than traditional alternatives. Crucially, it offers excellent sound reduction—up to ~24dB when paired with its built-in IXPE underlay. This makes it ideal for upstairs flats, bedrooms, and busy family homes where noise reduction and warmth are priorities.
SPC Core (Editions Range)
Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) is thinner and denser, delivering outstanding rigidity. Resistance to indentation from heavy furniture is a hallmark of quality vinyl flooring, and SPC excels here. It is perfect for high-traffic areas, conservatories, or spaces exposed to direct sunlight where stability is paramount.
Uniclic™: The Mark of High Quality Installation
Installation quality is just as important as the flooring itself. Pro-Tek™ uses the patented Uniclic™ locking system, recognised worldwide for its reliability and ease of use.
- Superior Joint Strength: A pre-tensioned flexible lip ensures a tight, gap-free fit, tested to over 450N/m.
- Seamless Floating Floor: Planks click together securely without adhesives, nails, or staples.
- Quick and Cost-Effective: Reduces installation time and eliminates adhesive drying delays.
Whether you are a trade installer or a homeowner, this system ensures your quality vinyl flooring looks professional and stays that way.
Built to Last: The Durability of Quality Vinyl Flooring
True quality vinyl flooring is defined by its longevity. Pro-Tek™ is built with a multi-layered structure to maximise its lifespan.
- Commercial-Grade Wear Layers: With wear layers up to 0.70mm (Excel Range) and 0.55mm (Editions Range), these floors are suitable for heavy commercial and residential use.
- Scratch and UV Resistance: A protective top layer shields against daily wear, furniture scuffs, and pet claws while maintaining colour realism.
- Industry-Leading Warranties: We offer lifetime residential and 20–30-year commercial warranties, offering lasting peace of mind.
100% Waterproof Performance in Quality Vinyl Flooring
Unlike laminate or engineered wood, Pro-Tek™ quality vinyl flooring is fully waterproof.
- No Warping or Swelling: Tek-Core™ and SPC cores resist damage from moisture or humidity.
- Hygienic: Waterproof construction prevents mould and mildew, making it perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.
- Underfloor Heating Compatible: Works seamlessly with both wet and electric systems.
Design Versatility in Quality Vinyl Flooring
Pro-Tek™ offers an extensive design collection that proves quality vinyl flooring can rival natural materials in aesthetics.
- Wide Range of Styles: Choose from authentic wood looks, natural stone finishes, and trending Herringbone patterns.
- Textured Realism: Four-sided bevelled edges and embossed textures perfectly mimic natural oak and slate.
- Modern Colour Palette: From rustic oaks to sleek grey tones, there is a design to complement every décor.
Why We Focus Exclusively on Click Vinyl
At Pro-Tek™, we dedicate all our research, development, and manufacturing expertise to Click Vinyl Flooring only. This singular focus allows us to produce quality vinyl flooring that benefits from constant innovation and precision engineering, rather than spreading our resources across unrelated materials.
Outperforming Laminate and Wood
While laminate and engineered wood have long been popular, they come with drawbacks that quality vinyl flooring from Pro-Tek™ solves:
- Water Resistance: Laminate swells with spills; Pro-Tek™ is 100% waterproof.
- Comfort: Tek-Core™ is softer and warmer underfoot than hard laminate.
- Durability: Engineered wood scratches easily; Pro-Tek™’s UV-protected surface resists wear.
- Maintenance: No sanding or polishing required—just simple cleaning.
Conclusion: Invest in the Best
Combining cutting-edge materials, SPC benefits, and exceptional ease of installation, Pro-Tek™ delivers unbeatable performance. Whether you are renovating your home or managing a commercial project, choosing quality vinyl flooring from Pro-Tek™ is the smarter, long-term investment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Quality Vinyl Flooring
What is the difference between Tek-Core™ and SPC? Tek-Core™ is thicker, lighter, and better for sound reduction. SPC is denser, thinner, and more rigid, ideal for high-traffic or sun-exposed areas.
Is Pro-Tek™ compatible with underfloor heating? Yes, it is fully compatible with both wet and electric systems. The planks remain dimensionally stable while efficiently transferring heat.
What does the Lifetime Residential Warranty cover? The floor is guaranteed against manufacturing defects for the life of the product, as long as the original purchaser occupies the property.
Why is the Uniclic™ system better? Uniclic™ offers superior joint strength and a tighter seal, reducing gaps and improving stability over time compared to inferior locking systems.
Is it suitable for pets? Yes. The scratch-resistant surface protects against claws, while the easy-clean waterproof surface ensures hygiene.
Can I replace a single damaged plank? Yes. The floating, click-lock design allows individual plank replacement without disturbing the entire floor.
Does it fade in sunlight? Pro-Tek™ floors are designed with UV protection, but as with all flooring, we recommend minimising exposure to intense, direct sunlight where possible. However, the SPC core remains dimensionally stable under heat.
