LVT and vinyl floor fitting in Willenhall. Karndean, Amtico and click systems. Subfloor prepared to tolerance, patterns set out, edges cut clean.
LVT shows every lump underneath it, which on a Willenhall concrete ground floor means latexing it properly first. Done that way it is the best floor in the house for a kitchen or a busy hallway, warm, quiet and genuinely waterproof.
The older terraces near the town centre are the exception, with timber ground floors that are overboarded with ply rather than latexed. Either way, the planks are set out from the centre of the room so the cuts land at the walls. The edges are sealed wherever water can reach them.
Latex levelling compound on solid floors, ply on timber. LVT telegraphs anything left underneath.
Herringbone, brick bond or plank, set out from the centre so cuts land where nobody looks.
Glue-down for the best finish and longest life, click where the subfloor or budget suits it. We explain which and why.
Sealed at the edges and under the units, so a spill stays on top of the floor.
LVT is quiet and tough underfoot. That makes it a good choice for a family hallway, where muddy boots and a pushchair come through the door every day.
Photos of the floor and its size. Say whether you want Karndean, Amtico or a click range. Tell us whether the floor is concrete or timber. We say what preparation it needs.
The subfloor has to be flat to a much finer tolerance, and on a Willenhall concrete floor that usually means latex. Most of the extra cost is preparation rather than fitting.
It is the best choice for one. Waterproof, warm underfoot and it takes a spill without complaint, which laminate does not.
Glue-down Karndean or Amtico gives the best finish and lasts longest. Click costs less to fit and lifts more easily later. We tell you which suits your floor, not which is dearer.
Warmer than tile and far warmer than bare concrete. With click LVT an insulating underlay takes more of the chill off an old Willenhall slab; glue-down LVT goes straight onto the levelled floor.
In most rooms the latex is laid one day and the floor fitted the next. It can be walked on carefully within a few hours, and once it has set there is very little smell.
A kitchen or hallway is usually two days. The first day is the latex, which dries overnight. The second is the vinyl. A floor that needs more preparation takes longer.
