Chair-Castor-Ready Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) for How Wood Home Offices
A How Wood home-office floor gets rolled over by a chair castor 60–120 times a day. That single wear pattern kills most residential floors within 3 years. We spec How Wood home offices in Brinell 4.5+ hardness ratings with a hardwax oil finish — provably chair-castor-tolerant without a mat.
Why castors are the design constraint on How 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.
Acoustic performance for How Wood work-from-home calls
For How Wood home offices in flats and first-floor rooms this acoustic build-up doubles as lease-clause compliance and call-quality improvement. One layer, two problems solved.

Home Offices in How Wood — questions
- Can we work around home office being in daily use in How Wood?
- Yes — one day out of the office for the fit, evening finish work available. Low-VOC finishes are safe for return the next morning. Discount available for How Wood home office jobs scheduled over weekends.
- How much for a How Wood home office floor?
- Typical How Wood home office (12–20m²) in engineered oak with acoustic build-up: £1,150–£2,200 fitted. In herringbone parquet: £1,650–£3,100. In commercial-grade LVT: £680–£1,300.
- Can I have herringbone parquet in a How Wood home office?
- Yes — herringbone in a home office reads professional and creative on camera without dominating. We fit a lot of it in AL2 home offices, especially for creatives and consultants.
- How does UFH work in a How 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 How 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 How Wood home office above a habitable room, without exception.
- How do I stop my How 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 How Wood home office we fit.
