Ifield Lounge Floors — Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) Fitted
Living-room Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in a Ifield home is 50% material and 50% direction. Get the direction of run right (follow the daylight, not the room shape) and even a mid-price board reads premium. Get it wrong and a premium board reads flat.
Why direction is 50% of the job in a Ifield living room
Boards should run parallel to the room's primary light source. In a Ifield south-facing lounge, that means boards run east–west. Get this wrong and daylight rakes across every board join, highlighting instead of hiding.

What we fit in Ifield living rooms
Finish choice in Ifield living rooms is between hardwax oil (warm, re-coatable, low-sheen) and lacquered (harder, shinier, less-forgiving on scuffs). 70% of our Ifield lounges are hardwax oiled.

Living room floors and furniture in Ifield
Rugs are the friend of a Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) floor — they break sight-lines, protect high-wear zones, and add acoustic warmth. On Ifield lounges we recommend rugs sized to sit under the front sofa legs, not just floating in the middle.
Living Room Flooring in Ifield — questions
- Which board width suits a Ifield living room?
- 180–220mm for open-plan or square reception rooms in Ifield; 160–180mm for bay-fronted or narrower rooms. Wider is not always better — proportionate to room width is what matters.
- What finish suits a family living room in Ifield?
- Matte hardwax oil is the family-lounge default in Ifield — hides scuffs, re-coats without a full sand, and warms visually. Reserve lacquer for lower-traffic or period restoration jobs.
- Do you move furniture on a Ifield living room fit?
- Yes — light furniture moves included on the day. Full-house moves and storage are quoted separately; typically £180–£380 for a fully-furnished Ifield lounge.
- How much for a lounge re-floor in Ifield?
- A typical Ifield lounge (20–30m²) in engineered oak fitted: £2,200–£4,800. In solid oak: £3,000–£6,200. In herringbone parquet: £2,800–£5,600. All including prep and finish.
- Can I fit a wood floor over concrete in a Ifield lounge?
- Yes — with a DPM (damp-proof membrane) and a moisture-tested reading below 4%. We measure on the survey before we quote in every Ifield project.
- How long is a Ifield living room fit typically?
- 3–4 working days for a 20–30m² lounge including subfloor prep, floor fit, scotia and clean. Add 48 hours for a full-cure hardwax oil before rugs and furniture.
