Three things that decide a lvt fit in Chislehurst
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — victorian and edwardian detached homes subfloors in Chislehurst 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 Chislehurst 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 victorian and edwardian detached homes lounge floor looks built-in for 15 years.
