Blackheath lvt — the details that matter
- Subfloor flatness
LVT shows every bump — georgian terraces subfloors in Blackheath 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 Blackheath hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Rigid stone-polymer core — will not dent like glue-down LVT
- Fully waterproof to the joint
- Click-lock so the whole floor can be lifted if needed
- Suits uneven subfloors better than click laminate
Bottom line: SPC is what you fit when the subfloor isn't quite level and the room isn't quite dry.
