Class B fire rating and The Pantiles HMO Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC)
Most The Pantiles HMO licences (issued by the Tunbridge Wells council) specify Class B or better fire rating on communal and escape-route flooring. We spec Class B-rated LVT or wood ranges as default on The Pantiles HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
Wear grade for The Pantiles HMO tenant turnover
For The Pantiles premium HMOs (professional shares, high-rent TN2 properties) we can spec commercial-grade engineered oak with Bona Traffic HD — same wear grade, warmer aesthetic. Costs 40% more, and worth it for premium rents.
