Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Supplied & Fitted in Bolnore Village
LVT done well looks identical to wood at arm's length. Done badly, it reads cheap. The prep is the difference. Our LVT crews cover Bolnore Village on a regular schedule — RH16 sits about 1 mile from the Haywards-heath hub, just off A272 / A23. 1,000-home 2000s planned village.
From £42/m² · 1–2 weeks lead time · 10-year workmanship warranty
Why we recommend LVT here
Bolnore Village's new-build housing make LVT the right tool. 1,000-home 2000s planned village, 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 new-build housing like much of Bolnore Village's Bolnore pocket, we'd usually spec Karndean Knight Tile 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.

Bolnore Village LVT FAQs
- 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.
- Is LVT waterproof?
- 100%. Karndean and Amtico LVT will handle a burst pipe — the floor stays, the underlay might need to dry.
- Will LVT look cheap?
- Not if you spec Karndean, Amtico or equivalent and lay it on a properly prepped subfloor. The cheapness is in cheap product and skipped prep.
- Can you fit it in a bathroom?
- Yes — and we strongly recommend it over tile for warmth and grip. Fully waterproof joints, silicone perimeter.
- Can vinyl mimic herringbone?
- Yes — and it's gone mainstream. 600×120mm vinyl planks laid herringbone is half the price of wood.
