Original pine boards on the terraces — ply overlay before LVT is standard.
- Underlay choice
8mm crumb is the usual call for Plumstead bedrooms; 10mm PU on stairs to stop bounce.

Most victorian and edwardian terraces doorways here need a bevelled bar rather than a Z-bar to clear the carpet next door.
- Solution-dyed nylon and polypropylene — colour goes all the way through
- Bleach-cleanable ranges for red wine, coffee and worse
- Loop pile options for high-traffic hallways
- 10-year stain warranty on selected ranges
