LVT (Livyn) vs SPC in Kenya: the smarter waterproof choice for modern flooring in Kenya

  • Warm & soft underfoot • Quieter rooms
  • 100% waterproof surface • Easy care
  • Belgian design realism • Strong warranties

Why LVT is superior to SPC for Kenyan homes & offices

Comfort & acoustics: LVT’s flexible core absorbs impact and sound better than rigid SPC—less click‑clack, warmer barefoot feel, and fewer surface cracks from point impacts.

Design realism: Quick‑Step’s European prints and textures deliver natural wood/stone looks with high‑definition embossing and matte finishes—perfect for high‑end floor décor.

Waterproof confidence: Livyn ranges are designed for wet areas—kitchens, corridors and commercial spaces—while maintaining comfort and installation forgiveness.
