Why LVT suits Sevenoaks Central
Sevenoaks Central's Georgian townhouses 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 Georgian townhouses like much of Sevenoaks Central's Sevenoaks Town pocket, we'd usually spec Amtico Spacia 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.

Sevenoaks Central LVT FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
