What we check first on a Catford lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — edwardian terraces subfloors in Catford almost always need ply or self-levelling screed first.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow Catford hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
Recap — design chevron flooring across SE6, precisely templated.

Chevron LVT Fitting in Catford — common questions
Herringbone is 90° L-shapes; chevron is 45° V-shapes. Chevron is more formal and takes longer to fit. Both look right in modern Catford kitchens.
Yes — chevron reads best in an open plan of at least 25m². Below that the pattern gets crowded. Standard call for large Bellingham kitchen-diner conversions.
Karndean Art Select (Chevron), Amtico Signature (Chevron sizes) and Moduleo Roots all do chevron SKUs. Not every colour is available in chevron — we cross-reference on the Catford visit.
Roughly 1.5x the time of a straight-plank fit. A 30m² SE6 kitchen in chevron is a 3-day install.
