- Belvedere subfloor reality
Ex-industrial conversions can flag damp — moisture meter used before guaranteeing glue-down.
- Coving
For bathrooms we can cove the vinyl up the wall 100mm to seal the floor properly.
- Subfloor
On older 1930s hillside semis we overlay with ply before laying vinyl so the boards underneath don't telegraph through.
- R11 slip-rated safety vinyl
- 100mm coving up the wall with capping seal
- Hot-welded seams, no dirt trap
- Suitable for wet rooms, disabled bathrooms and shower areas
Bottom line: a wet room needs a full seal — cove up the wall, weld the seams, nothing else works long-term.

Safety Flooring for Wet Rooms in Belvedere — common questions
Yes — coving up the wall stops water reaching the wall/floor joint. Without it, silicone fails inside 2 years and you're looking at a re-fit. Standard spec on every wet room we do.
R11 — the extra grip matters when the floor is wet and soapy. R10 is fine for hallway zones outside the shower. We spec by zone on the Upper Belvedere visit.
Sometimes — depends on tile flatness and drainage. We assess on the visit; a self-levelling screed sometimes needed on older DA17 bathrooms.
A welded safety vinyl fit lasts 15+ years in a domestic wet room. Silicone corner beads fail; welded seams don't.
