How Wood Shared-House Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC): Landlord Fit
HMOs in How Wood put the hardest residential wear pattern on a floor of any category — multiple tenants, multiple visitors, mismatched routines, no shared care for the fabric of the building. On How Wood HMO jobs we spec Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) to commercial-grade Class 33 wear, sealed edges throughout, and Class B fire-rated where the AL2 licence demands.
HMO fire compliance in How Wood
Every How Wood HMO quote we issue includes the fire-rating certificate for the specified material. Filed by the landlord with the licence renewal — one less thing to chase before the annual inspection.
