Blackheath lvt — the details that matter
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — georgian terraces subfloors in Blackheath 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 Blackheath hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Glue-down herringbone in oak, walnut and smoked finishes
- Self-levelling screed where the subfloor isn't flat
- Single or double border, with or without inlay strip
- Pattern direction set on the longest sightline
In short — herringbone LVT in Blackheath from £55/m² fitted, including screed where needed, with single or double borders.
