New-Build Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Beaulieu Park, CM1
New-build Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) in Beaulieu Park is 70% commissioning discipline, 30% board choice. The best material in the world laid over an under-cured screed fails in season one. We survey moisture, verify UFH cycle records, and only then quote — a standard the developer's fitter almost never applies.
Getting UFH right on a Beaulieu Park new-build Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) install
UFH commissioning cycle for Beaulieu Park new-build floors: 3-day ramp from off to 15°C, 3-day hold, 3-day ramp to 25°C, 3-day hold, 3-day ramp down. Nine days minimum. This dries the screed evenly and shakes out any residual moisture before the floor arrives.

New-Build Homes in Beaulieu Park — questions
- Do new-build floors need special maintenance in Beaulieu Park?
- First 12 months in a new-build: keep humidity between 40–60%, avoid rugs for 4 weeks, and re-oil hardwax finishes at month 12. Standard maintenance thereafter.
- Can I fit Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) directly over the developer's UFH in Beaulieu Park?
- Yes — with a commissioning cycle before and after fit, a thermally-conductive underlay, and a max 20mm total build-up. We handle all three on Beaulieu Park new-build installs.
- Can you fit floors before the developer completes the Beaulieu Park kitchen?
- Ideal sequencing on Beaulieu Park new-builds is: screed cured → floor fit → skirting fit → kitchen install. This puts the floor under the kitchen, adds resale value and avoids kitchen-plinth transitions.
- Can you handle a multi-plot new-build in Beaulieu Park?
- Yes — we've worked with volume builders across Beaulieu Park and surrounding CM1 developments. Sequential plot delivery, batched supply, coordinated snag response.
- How soon after a Beaulieu Park new-build completes can I fit Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC)?
- Only after screed CM moisture is under 1.8% (wood) or 4% (LVT). Typical Beaulieu Park new-build screeds take 7–10 weeks from pour to fit-ready — regardless of what the developer's programme says.
- How do I avoid new-build floor gaps in Beaulieu Park?
- Correct commissioning cycle (before AND after fit) is 80% of the answer. Board acclimatisation to the specific room humidity is the other 20%. Skip either and you get seasonal gaps every winter.
