Karndean & Amtico herringbone across Welling DA16
Done properly, a herringbone LVT floor lasts 15–20 years. Done badly, it shows every subfloor bump and the borders never line up. Across Welling we screed or ply first, snap the pattern lines off the longest wall, and glue every plank — no clicks, no movement.
What herringbone lvt in Welling actually involves
Done properly, a herringbone LVT floor lasts 15–20 years. Done badly, it shows every subfloor bump and the borders never line up. Across Welling we screed or ply first, snap the pattern lines off the longest wall, and glue every plank — no clicks, no movement.
Falconwood bungalows often sit on solid concrete — minimal prep, ideal for LVT.
Three things that decide a lvt fit in Welling
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — 1930s semis subfloors in Welling 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 Welling 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

Both are excellent. Amtico Spacia is the everyday choice; Karndean Art Select is the premium option with deeper bevels. We bring samples of both.
