All the 1-strip designs also have the added distinction of a discreet micro-bevel on all sides. Hardwearing, easy to clean and scratch resistant, Viva is also very easy to install because the planks are extra light and thinner than other products. As a result Viva can often be installed over another floor without the need to cut under doors or moulding.
