We treat home offices as a mini-commercial fit — hard-wearing enough for daily use, warm enough to look like a room, quiet enough for a client meeting on camera.

Why castors are the design constraint on Petts Wood 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.

- Can I have herringbone parquet in a Petts Wood home office?
- Yes — herringbone in a home office reads professional and creative on camera without dominating. We fit a lot of it in BR5 home offices, especially for creatives and consultants.
- How does UFH work in a Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood home office above a habitable room, without exception.
- How do I stop my Petts Wood 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 Petts Wood home office we fit.
