Why we recommend LVT here
Ardingly's conservation-area cottages make LVT the right tool. Wakehurst Place / Kew Gardens annex on village edge, and that shapes the build-up we quote.
Common pitfalls we plan around
Floors that aren't flat enough
LVT telegraphs every bump. We latex-screed to ±2mm over 2m before a single tile goes down.
Cheap 0.3mm wear layers
Anything under 0.55mm wears through in 5 years on a busy floor. We don't quote it.
Click SPC over UFH
SPC over UFH is slow to heat. We recommend glue-down LVT for any UFH spec.

Materials & finish notes
For conservation-area cottages like much of Ardingly's Ardingly pocket, we'd usually spec Moduleo Roots in a wood-effect plank finish.
Karndean Da Vinci is our most-fitted LVT — 0.55mm wear layer, glue-down, 20-year warranty.
Loose-lay LVT is brilliant for retail and office fit-outs — relocatable, tile-by-tile replaceable.

Ardingly LVT FAQs
- Can vinyl mimic herringbone?
- Yes — and it's gone mainstream. 600×120mm vinyl planks laid herringbone is half the price of wood.
- Can LVT go over underfloor heating?
- Yes — glue-down LVT is excellent over UFH. SPC click is slower to heat; we usually steer clients to LVT.
- How long is the install?
- 7–10 days on most domestic jobs — latex screed cure time is the rate-limiter, not the lay.
- Will it dent under furniture?
- 0.55mm+ wear layer LVT recovers from point loads. Cheaper 0.3mm doesn't — that's the spec line.
- How long does LVT last?
- 15–25 years on a 0.55mm+ wear layer in a domestic setting. Less if you skimp on wear layer.
- Does it scratch?
- Less than wood. Commercial-grade LVT shrugs off pet claws and chair legs better than oiled oak.
- Click SPC vs glue-down LVT — which?
- Click for fast install, removable, uneven subfloors. Glue-down for UFH, premium look, long-life.
Summary
From the B2028 access to the conservation-area cottages we'll be fitting onto, every LVT job in Ardingly starts with a proper survey. That's the only way to get a price that doesn't change once the boards arrive.
