IVC Commercial luxury vinyl tiles (LVTs) have been specified at Vita Living Apartments, Circle Square, Manchester.

Standing on a former BBC site, the new Circle Square neighbourhood is at the heart of Manchester’s construction boom. As part of the development, Vita Living Apartments provides high-quality rentable accommodation and a superb range of amenities for tenants wanting vibrant city centre living.

LVTs from IVC Commercial feature throughout Vita Living Apartments. Upon completion of the development, more than 50,000sq m of Belgian-made LVTs will be installed throughout living areas, corridors, and amenity areas.

Following on from four other successfully completed projects, Vita Living’s own development team selected a range of authentic LVTs that utilise a performance 0.55mm wear-layer construction designed for commercial environments – ‘an ideal balance between a design that creates a marketable interior and a finish that delivers excellent long-term value’.

For apartment living areas and bathrooms, Moduleo 55 Woods was chosen to provide a home-like feel, while Moduleo 55 Tiles and Moduleo 55 Expressive were selected for amenity areas. Creating a stand-out feature around lift areas, Vita Living’s development team opted for Studio Moods in a small herringbone laying pattern.

The development team at Vita Living says: ‘We wanted a floor that underlined our ethos of high-quality accommodation and IVC Commercial’s LVTs supported that. The authentic look provides an important connection to natural finishes, while staying easy to care for which is an important consideration. The floor’s durability also helps prolong replacement owing to wear, helping us provide investors with a building that delivers better value.’

Says IVC: ‘Moduleo 55 features 50% recycled content from IVC Commercial’s in-house recycling facility and is made with renewable energy from the manufacturer’s own wind turbines. All raw materials are sourced from a 100% European supply chain for assured quality.

‘Installed by Active Flooring, the project demonstrates the ability of IVC Commercial to meet the service demands of large-scale projects.’
