Charlton vinyl — the details that matter
- Sheet seams
Sheet vinyl in a typical Charlton kitchen is usually a single drop — no seam, no water-ingress risk.
- Subfloor
On older victorian village terraces 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.
"Coved safety vinyl in the prep zone, LVT in the dining room, done overnight." — SE7 café owner
Bottom line: a compliant kitchen floor is coved and welded — anything less fails inspection.
