LVT and vinyl floor fitting in Smethwick — Karndean, Amtico and click systems. Subfloor prepared to tolerance, patterns set out, edges cut clean.
LVT shows every lump underneath it, far more than laminate does, which is why the subfloor preparation is most of the labour. Done properly it is the best floor for a Smethwick kitchen or bathroom — warm underfoot, waterproof, and it does not mind a wet dog.
LVT is thin and it telegraphs whatever is underneath it, so the preparation is most of the labour. On a Smethwick solid floor that means latex levelling compound; on timber it means ply. Once the base is right the tiles or planks are set out from a centre line, glued or clicked depending on the room, and sealed at the edges in a kitchen or bathroom.
Because the subfloor has to be flat to a much finer tolerance. LVT is thin and flexible, so it shows every ridge and dip beneath it. Most of the extra cost is preparation, not the fitting.
It is the best choice for both. Waterproof, warm underfoot and it takes a spill without complaint, which laminate does not.
Glue-down Karndean or Amtico gives the best finish and lasts longest. Click LVT costs less to fit and is easier to lift later. We will tell you which suits your subfloor rather than which is dearer.
