Langton Green Luxury Vinyl Flooring (LVT & SPC) — Local Survey, Local Fit
If the room sees water (kitchen, bathroom, hallway from a wet street), vinyl is the right answer. Langton Green is one of our most-fitted TN3 pockets — 3 miles from Tunbridge-wells and around 35 miles from central London via A264. Predominantly detached family housing.
From £42/m² · 1–2 weeks lead time · 10-year workmanship warranty
Materials & finish notes
For conservation-area cottages like much of Langton Green's Langton Green pocket, we'd usually spec Karndean Knight Tile 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.

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.
Langton Green LVT FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
