New Eltham SPC flooring — rigid, waterproof, clickable
SPC is the click-format cousin of LVT — a stone-polymer core that doesn't dent, glued nowhere, fully waterproof at the joint. In New Eltham we fit it wherever a subfloor isn't perfectly flat: SPC bridges 2mm inconsistencies that glue-down LVT can't.

Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.

Original pine boards over joists — same story as neighbouring Sidcup, so ply overlay before LVT is the norm.
- Pattern direction
Plank run follows the longest sightline; in narrow New Eltham hallways that means front-door to kitchen.
- Door undercut
We trim doors on the day so they swing cleanly over glue-down LVT — no scraping, no callbacks.
- 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

SPC Click Flooring in New Eltham — common questions
Glue-down LVT wins on ultimate longevity in a perfect kitchen. SPC wins on installation speed, subfloor tolerance and reversibility — matters more in most New Eltham homes.
Yes — the plank itself is waterproof and the click joint is sealed. A Avery Hill kitchen spill sits on top and mops off, doesn't reach the subfloor.
Yes — one of SPC's main advantages. Rigid core spans grout lines up to 5mm. We regularly overlay old kitchen tiles in SE9 without lifting them.
Yes — most SPC ranges are UFH-rated up to 27°C surface temp. Same UFH rules as any thin-plank flooring.
