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.

The LVT brief in Newhall

In Newhall the recurring brief is UFH-compatible, dust-free, snag-list-clean — and that's exactly what a properly-fitted LVT floor delivers.

Materials & finish notes

For new-build housing like much of Newhall's Newhall pocket, we'd usually spec Karndean Knight Tile in a mineral-look lvt finish.

Loose-lay LVT is brilliant for retail and office fit-outs — relocatable, tile-by-tile replaceable.

Herringbone LVT is now a genuine alternative to herringbone wood for BTL kitchens — same look, half the price.

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.
