Commercial vinyl planks and LVT supplied and installed in Melbourne for retail, hospitality, banking and workplace fit-outs. Premrest Flooring installs glue-down and loose-lay LVT programs on the head contractor's schedule.
Our Melbourne crews install luxury vinyl plank (LVT / LVP) across retail rollouts, hospitality venues, bank branches and workplace fit-outs. Every project runs to a documented staging plan, subfloor moisture testing to AS 1884, and manufacturer-specified adhesive and preparation systems so plank seams sit flat and warranty conditions are met.

How much do vinyl planks cost in Melbourne?
As a guide, supply and install of commercial vinyl plank (LVT) in Melbourne ranges from $90 to $170 per square metre. Entry-level dry-back LVT sits at the lower end; premium Karndean, Amtico and Polyflor specifications with thicker wear layers sit at the top. Ranges exclude subfloor preparation, which is priced separately after moisture and flatness testing.
What is the difference between vinyl planks, LVT and LVP?
The terms are used interchangeably in commercial specification. LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and LVP (luxury vinyl plank) both refer to modular vinyl in tile or plank format, marketed as vinyl planks when the format is a long rectangular plank that imitates timber.
Which vinyl plank brands do you install?
We install to whatever product schedule the specifier has issued. In practice we install Karndean, Polyflor, Amtico, Tarkett, Forbo, Signature Floors, Interface LVT, Godfrey Hirst and Shaw Contract Resilient across our commercial programs.
Can vinyl planks be installed on a ground-floor slab?
Yes, provided slab moisture is tested to AS 1884 and either sits within the manufacturer's threshold or is remediated with an epoxy moisture barrier. Every ground-floor and refurbishment project we deliver includes moisture testing before adhesive is ordered.
Is loose-lay or glue-down better for commercial vinyl plank?
Full-spread glue-down is the default for high-traffic commercial specification because it stays flat under trolley and chair traffic. Loose-lay is used for fast-turnaround retail rollouts and where lifting individual planks for services access is a priority.
What preparation is needed before install?
Subfloor flatness to 3 mm over 3 metres, moisture within the manufacturer's threshold, and a clean, contaminant-free surface. On refurbishment work we uplift existing floor coverings, grind residual adhesive, patch and self-level, then moisture test before install.
Can vinyl plank be installed over Melbourne heritage building slabs?
Often yes, but heritage slabs in Melbourne warehouses and converted buildings frequently show elevated moisture and unlevel surfaces. We test moisture to AS 1884, grind residual adhesive, patch and self-level to a 3 mm over 3 metres tolerance, and apply an epoxy moisture barrier where readings sit above the manufacturer's threshold.
Is vinyl plank compatible with hydronic underfloor heating on Melbourne fit-outs?
Yes, where the manufacturer's data sheet allows it. Karndean, Amtico and Polyflor commercial ranges nominate a maximum surface temperature (typically 27 degrees Celsius) and require a full-spread adhesive suited to heated substrates. We install to the nominated system and document the surface temperature on handover.
Do you install vinyl plank across regional Victoria?
Yes. Our Melbourne crews deliver LVT programs into Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and the Mornington Peninsula on the same specification as metropolitan work.
