Cassiobury Formal Dining Floors: Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) Fitted
Dining rooms in Cassiobury have a specific and unusual wear pattern — most of the floor sees very little foot traffic, but a 3×2m rectangle under the dining table takes daily chair-drag from six to twelve chairs. That single wear zone drives the spec: hardness rating for chair legs, matte finish for wine-spill forgiveness, and formal aesthetic for the room's role.
Getting the table footprint right on a Cassiobury dining floor
In edwardian terrace Cassiobury formal dining rooms with polished-brass chair feet on a lacquered board, we advise switching to felt or rubber caps — polished metal on hardwood dents any species, even oak.

The spill-tolerant finish for a Cassiobury dining room
Dining floors get wine, water and butter spills more often than any room except the kitchen. Matte hardwax oil is the Cassiobury dining room default — spills bead on the surface, wipe clean, and don't stain if attended within 20 minutes.
