When it comes to paving high-traffic areas such as supermarkets, shopping centres or hospitality businesses, it is essential to choose flooring that combines durability, ease of installation and lasting aesthetics. In this supermarket project, carried out by the Moskito Parquets team, the mFLOR Contact model was chosen as the LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring, with magnificent results both technically and visually.

What is LVT vinyl flooring?

LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) flooring consists of high-quality vinyl tiles that imitate natural wood with an extraordinary level of realism. They are manufactured in several layers, with a flexible PVC core that provides comfort underfoot and high durability against wear, moisture and chemicals.

Although they share some of their base materials, vinyl flooring should not be confused with traditional PVC flooring: LVT offers better technical performance and a significantly superior aesthetic.

The perfect flooring for a supermarket

The perfect flooring for a supermarket
In this case, the challenge was to floor an entire supermarket: a facility with different areas (food, cleaning products, refrigerated goods and high traffic). Choosing a floating LVT floor covering such as mFLOR Contact made it possible to meet all the requirements:

  • Resistance to continuous traffic, shopping trolleys and intensive use.
  • Quick and clean installation, thanks to the adhesive-free click system.
  • Easy maintenance and daily cleaning with water and neutral products.
  • Natural wood appearance, adding warmth to a functional environment.

The images show a uniform, elegant and practical result. The vinyl flooring enhances the supermarket’s layout without overloading the visual space. The wood-finish texture gives a feeling of comfort that contrasts with the metal furniture and industrial products.

Adhesive-free installation system: fast, clean, efficient

One of the most innovative aspects of mFLOR Contact is its click-type installation system, which does not require adhesives or glues. This allows us to

  • Reduce installation times.
  • Enable immediate opening of the business, as the floor can be walked on as soon as it is installed.
  • Increase versatility for future renovations or replacements.

For parquet professionals and retail projects, this represents a major competitive advantage: it can be installed in less time, with less waste, and with a guaranteed useful life of up to 15 years.

Vinyl flooring: a versatile solution for all types of commercial spaces

Although this project focuses on the retail environment, we want to show the versatility of the mFLOR Contact model with a complementary example: a professional beauty salon.

In this second application, we can highlight that LVT vinyl flooring brings the following benefits to the project:

  • Resistance to water and chemicals (dyes, shampoos, lotions).
  • Easy removal of stains and dirt.
  • A warm aesthetic that blends with modern or industrial styles.

The result is an elegant, hygienic and durable space, perfect for a demanding environment such as a hairdressing salon.

Vinyl or laminate flooring? Which one should you choose?

This is a common question among private customers, technicians and interior designers alike. Which is better: laminate or vinyl flooring?

The choice depends on the intended use, the conditions of the space and, of course, the available budget. In many cases, LVT vinyl flooring offers excellent value for money, especially in professional or heavy-use environments, where durability, water resistance and easy maintenance make all the difference.

The following table clearly shows the main differences between traditional laminate flooring and LVT vinyl flooring such as mFLOR Contact, both technically and functionally:

Feature Laminate flooring LVT vinyl flooring (such as mFLOR Contact)
Water resistance Limited ✅ Excellent
Comfort underfoot Medium ✅ Softer and more flexible
Aesthetics  Good ✅ Very realistic wood finish
Installation Click ✅ Click without adhesives
Maintenance Requires care ✅ Easy and quick
Recommended use Homes ✅ Commercial, retail, bathrooms, kitchens

Why parquet professionals recommend mFLOR Contact

Those of us who work with wood in a traditional and professional manner — parquet installers, fitters, or specialist interior designers — tend to choose natural wood as our first option for many projects. However, we also know that each space has its own technical, aesthetic, and functional requirements.

When the use, environment or customer’s requirements demand it, the professional and honest advice is to recommend LVT vinyl flooring. But not just any LVT: it must be a high-quality solution in every way — durability, stability, visual realism, guarantees and technical reliability. And that confidence is only offered by leading manufacturers and top brands such as mFLOR.

mFLOR Contact, in particular, allows us to offer a modern, resistant and visually appealing alternative, without compromising on the quality standards that characterise our work as flooring professionals.
