Cexceptionally v stylish lio floors

contemporary living

Cavalio is an exquisite range of floors which is new to the UK. Cavalio luxury vinyl tiles look real and feel real because they faithfully reproduce the warmth and natural grains of wood, the beauty and characteristics of stone and the understated style of ceramic tiles.

Cavalio floors are constructed from multiple layers of vinyl to provide exceptional stability and strength, photographic film is then applied and finally a tough polyurethane wear layer. This produces beautiful floors which will perform in any room of the home, from hallway to bathroom. A choice of borders and feature strips are also available to enhance and individualise your floor.
