Why we recommend LVT here
Harlow Town's apartment conversions make LVT the right tool. 1947 Mark I new town — Frederick Gibberd masterplan, 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 apartment conversions like much of Harlow Town's Town Centre pocket, we'd usually spec Karndean Da Vinci 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.

Harlow Town LVT FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
Summary
From the M11 J7a access to the apartment conversions we'll be fitting onto, every LVT job in Harlow Town starts with a proper survey. That's the only way to get a price that doesn't change once the boards arrive.
