Why LVT suits Chigwell
Chigwell's modern kitchen extensions respond well to LVT: the spec matches the building stock, the access works for our crews, and the typical project type fits a 1–2 weeks install window.
Materials & finish notes
For modern kitchen extensions like much of Chigwell's Chigwell Village pocket, we'd usually spec Quick-Step Alpha SPC in a stone-effect tile finish.
SPC click is the right call for fast install over uneven subfloors — built-in rigid core handles ±5mm dips.
Karndean Da Vinci is our most-fitted LVT — 0.55mm wear layer, glue-down, 20-year warranty.

Chigwell LVT FAQs
- 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.
- 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.

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.
