Why castors are the design constraint on New Malden home offices
Desk-chair castors deliver a point-load of 8–12kg per wheel, rolled repeatedly across the same 2m² of floor. This wear pattern is why standard residential floors fail in home offices — the wear layer isn't rated for repeated point-load abrasion.

Home Offices in New Malden — questions
- Can I have herringbone parquet in a New Malden home office?
- Yes — herringbone in a home office reads professional and creative on camera without dominating. We fit a lot of it in KT3 home offices, especially for creatives and consultants.
- How does UFH work in a New Malden home office?
- Well — home offices are the room UFH shines in, because you're stationary at a desk for hours. Warm floor under stationary feet is the ideal use case. Standard UFH-compatible build-up applies.
- Are there any acoustic concerns in a New Malden home office above a bedroom?
- Yes — impact sound transfer to the bedroom below matters more than to any other room. We spec IIC 60+ acoustic build-up on any New Malden home office above a habitable room, without exception.
- How do I stop my New Malden home office floor being loud on video calls?
- Dense acoustic underlay under the floor. Drops footstep pickup by 18–22dB — the mic still hears you, but not your walking. Standard build-up on every New Malden home office we fit.
- Should the home office match the rest of the house floor in New Malden?
- Usually — visual continuity from adjacent rooms into the office reads more professional than a purpose-different floor. Exception: garden studios can genuinely be different.
- How do I make the home office floor look good on Zoom in New Malden?
- Matte finish over glossy lacquer (glossy shows every dust particle on camera), warm mid-tone colour over raw white or dark stain, and boards running parallel to the primary window.
