A Mayplace PT studio above a 1930s bay-fronted semis needs acoustic underlay under the rubber or the neighbours are on the phone. We fit 18mm shock-absorbing base plus 15mm rubber tile so nothing carries through.
1930s pine floorboards throughout — always ply-overlaid before LVT or vinyl.
Before we quote a vinyl job in Barnehurst
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Barnehurst kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s bay-fronted semis we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Heavy-duty rubber tile and roll for weight zones
- Sprung sports vinyl for studios
- Shock-absorbing underlay so upstairs neighbours don't complain
- Zoned by discipline — weights, cardio, studio, changing
Recap — commercial rubber and sprung vinyl across DA7, fitted to last a five-year lease.
