LVT Flooring Installation in Staple Hill

LVT flooring installation in Staple Hill from Dynamic Bathrooms. LVT is warm, water resistant and hard wearing, but it shows every bump underneath, so the subfloor gets prepared first.

Why LVT Suits a Bathroom Floor

LVT is warmer underfoot than tile, softer to stand on and resistant to water. It comes in wood and stone effects that look convincing, and it is quiet. For a bathroom or a kitchen it gives you the look of a hard floor without the cold.

More Information

Getting the Subfloor Smooth First

LVT is thin and flexible, so it takes the shape of whatever is beneath it. Every screw head, board joint and dip will show through eventually. We latex or overboard the subfloor to get it smooth, which is the step that decides how the floor looks in a year.

Click Planks or Glue Down

Click planks float over the subfloor and can be lifted later. Glue down bonds fully, sits flatter and copes better with underfloor heating and wet rooms. In a bathroom we usually recommend glue down, because a floating floor and standing water do not mix well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LVT flooring suitable for a bathroom in Staple Hill?

Yes. LVT is water resistant and copes well with a bathroom, provided it is glue down rather than a floating click system and the edges are sealed at the perimeter. It is warmer than tile and less slippery when wet, which is why many people choose it.

How long does LVT flooring installation take?

Laying the LVT itself is usually a day for a bathroom. Preparing the subfloor can take just as long again if it needs overboarding or levelling compound, which then has to dry. We will tell you which applies once we have seen the floor.

Can LVT go over underfloor heating?

Yes, most LVT is rated for it, but there is a maximum floor temperature to stay under and the heating needs commissioning properly before and after laying. We check the manufacturer limits for the product you have chosen rather than assuming.
