Verulam Shared-House Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC): Landlord Fit
HMOs in Verulam 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 Verulam 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 AL3 licence demands.
Class B fire rating and Verulam HMO Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC)
Most Verulam HMO licences (issued by the St Albans 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 Verulam HMO installs — fitting a non-compliant floor puts the licence at risk.
