Through-lounge flooring across DA6/DA7
Through-lounges in Bexleyheath usually mean a floor that runs from bay to garden doors without a threshold. We template that carefully so the plank runs align to the longest wall — not the fireplace.
What living room flooring in Bexleyheath actually involves
Through-lounges in Bexleyheath usually mean a floor that runs from bay to garden doors without a threshold. We template that carefully so the plank runs align to the longest wall — not the fireplace.
1950s semis usually have chipboard upstairs — checked for squeaks and re-screwed first.
What we check first on a Bexleyheath lvt job
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — large 1930s and 1950s semis subfloors in Bexleyheath 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 Bexleyheath hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Herringbone or plank LVT for a lounge feature
- Wide-plank laminate for a warmer wood look
- Carpet with 10mm PU underlay for family lounges
- Threshold detailing where the lounge meets other rooms
Bottom line: get the plank line right and the large 1930s and 1950s semis lounge floor looks built-in for 15 years.
