The Pantiles Flat Flooring: Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) Fitted
Flat flooring in The Pantiles lives or dies on acoustic performance. Lease clauses in most The Pantiles (TN2) buildings require IIC 60+ impact sound rating, and a floor that fails the test is a floor the freeholder can force you to remove. On The Pantiles flat jobs we spec every build-up to exceed the lease clause by 6–8dB, and we document the certification for your building manager.
Impact and airborne sound on The Pantiles apartment Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC)

Apartments & Flats in The Pantiles — questions
- How much for an The Pantiles 2-bed flat floor?
- Typical The Pantiles 2-bed apartment (55–75m²) in engineered oak with acoustic build-up: £3,400–£5,600. In LVT: £2,100–£3,400. Both include acoustic spec sheet and lease-compliance paperwork.
- Can I glue-down a floor in my The Pantiles first-floor flat?
- No — over a habitable room below, always floated over acoustic underlay. Glue-down transmits impact sound directly through the structure and fails most The Pantiles lease clauses.
- How long does a The Pantiles flat floor fit take?
- 3–5 working days for a typical The Pantiles 60–80m² apartment, including acoustic underlay layer-up, board fit, perimeter detail and paperwork.
- Does the The Pantiles building need to be notified?
- Yes, in most The Pantiles leasehold buildings — 14 days' written notice to the managing agent. We provide the template letter as part of every The Pantiles flat quote.
- What acoustic rating do I need for a The Pantiles apartment floor?
- Standard The Pantiles lease minimum is IIC 55 or 60, with STC 55 airborne. Our default build-up tests at IIC 66/STC 58 — comfortably above both.
- Can we do this floor with a neighbour below still in residence in The Pantiles?
- Yes — floated installation is quiet during fit (no drilling into the deck). Neighbour-below courtesy notice is standard courtesy on The Pantiles apartment jobs; we handle the paperwork.
