What Warley homes actually need
Most LVT jobs we book in CM14 are owner-occupied refurbs. A mix of Victorian villas and new-build housing drives the spec — and the LVT answer is well understood.

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 Victorian villas like much of Warley's Warley pocket, we'd usually spec Moduleo Roots 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.

Warley LVT FAQs
- 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.
- Click SPC vs glue-down LVT — which?
- Click for fast install, removable, uneven subfloors. Glue-down for UFH, premium look, long-life.
