Materials & finish notes
For conservation-area cottages like much of Kemsing's Kemsing pocket, we'd usually spec Karndean Knight Tile in a herringbone vinyl finish.
Herringbone LVT is now a genuine alternative to herringbone wood for BTL kitchens — same look, half the price.
SPC click is the right call for fast install over uneven subfloors — built-in rigid core handles ±5mm dips.
Materials we stock
Karndean Da Vinci · Karndean Knight Tile · Amtico Spacia · Quick-Step Alpha SPC · Moduleo Roots
Finishes we offer
Wood-effect plank · Stone-effect tile · Herringbone vinyl · Mineral-look LVT
Install methods
Glue-down LVT to latex screed · Click-system SPC over underlay · Loose-lay over flat subfloor
Realistic lifespan
15–25 years on the wear layer, 0.55mm minimum on commercial-grade spec
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.

Kemsing 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.
