LVT Vinyl Flooring in Bath

The LVT in this range is rigid-core vinyl: a decor and wear layer of 0.3 or 0.55 mm on a solid polymer core, click-fitted, and listed as waterproof by the manufacturer. In Bath 79% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (29%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

LVT Vinyl flooring in Bath: what the housing says

The Bath and North East Somerset district counts 79,250 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a lvt vinyl floor is specified here.

Semi-detached houses are 29% of the Bath and North East Somerset stock, and the semi's kitchen-diner, timber at the front and concrete under the extension, is a rigid-vinyl floor more often than any other in Bath: one click floor across both bases, an underlay chosen per base, and no seam at the join. The wear layer decides the room: 0.55 mm for the kitchen and the hall, 0.3 mm where the traffic is lighter.

Terraced houses are 27% of the homes in Bath and North East Somerset, and the terrace is where the rigid-vinyl range does most of its work in Bath: the kitchen at the back, often a concrete floor with a history of damp, and the hallway that takes the traffic. A rigid board floats over both on an underlay, and its stiff core bridges the small unevenness an old floor has. Over a slab the base is checked for moisture first; BS 8203 practice puts the limit at 75 percent relative humidity under a sealed hygrometer.

Owner-occupation is 66% in Bath and North East Somerset, and an owner fitting rigid vinyl is usually re-flooring a kitchen, a bathroom or a utility room where a tile felt cold and a laminate would not survive. The herringbone SPC boards give the pattern floor in a kitchen, listed as waterproof, which the oak blocks are not.

Local conditions

A Georgian floor is suspended timber over a void ventilated by airbricks that later work has often closed up. Before anything goes over it, the question is whether air still moves under there — Lansdown, Bathwick and the streets off Kingsmead all hold houses where it does not.

Local fact sheet

Bath's homes, by the numbers

Bath and North East Somerset in the 2021 census: 79,250 households, 78% houses, 21% flats.

More than a quarter of Bath lives in a terrace, and a further one household in eighteen in a flat carved out of a larger house. Much of that stock is Georgian, much of it is listed or in a conservation area, and both of those change what can be done to a floor before anything is chosen.

Bath’s Georgian heritage is among the most architecturally significant in Europe, from the iconic Royal Crescent and the Circus to honey-coloured Bath stone townhouses lining Great Pulteney Street. Period interiors with high ceilings, original cornicing and proportions designed for grand entertaining demand flooring that respects centuries of craftsmanship.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Bath

  • Wear layer for the room 0.55 mm for the kitchen, the hall and anywhere with a dog; 0.3 mm for a bedroom or a bathroom with light traffic.
  • Dry base, even under a waterproof floor The floor is listed as waterproof; the base is not. A slab is checked with a hygrometer before the underlay goes down.
  • Acclimatise for 48 hours The MMFA's requirement for a multilayer modular floor: in the room, at the room's temperature, before it is laid.
  • The join between the two floors A semi's timber front room and its concrete kitchen meet at a step or a hump more often than not. A levelling compound at the join, and the threshold strip planned there.
  • The old kitchen floor A concrete kitchen floor in a terrace has often been wet. It is tested, not assumed, before a floor is laid over it.
  • The 0.55 mm wear layer For a floor to keep, the commercial-grade 0.55 mm wear layer. Keep the invoice with the batch number.

Questions

LVT Vinyl flooring in Bath: questions, answered

Is LVT the right floor for a Bath kitchen?

For most kitchens in Bath it is the floor that fits: listed as waterproof, warm and quiet compared with a tile, click-fitted over timber or slab, and with a 0.55 mm wear layer rated for the traffic. The base under it still has to be dry, which is checked rather than assumed.

What is the difference between LVT and SPC?

SPC is a type of LVT with a rigid solid polymer core rather than a flexible one. Every LVT in this range is SPC. The rigid core is what lets the board bridge small unevenness in an old floor and stay flat over underfloor heating.

Which wear layer do I need?

The range carries 0.3 and 0.55 mm. The thicker layer is the one for a kitchen, a hallway or a home with pets; the thinner one suits a bedroom or a lightly used bathroom. EN ISO 10582 does not tie a class to a thickness, so the choice is the manufacturer's guidance and the room.

What flooring suits Bath’s Georgian townhouses?

In a Georgian townhouse what goes under the floor is more constrained than what goes on it, and the constraint is depth: the finished level cannot rise past a threshold or a stair nosing that is part of the fabric. A thin build-up matters more here than in anything built since.

Do you deliver lvt vinyl flooring to Bath?

Yes. We deliver across Bath and Somerset from our UK warehouse, including the BA1 and BA2 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Can I see a lvt vinyl sample before ordering in Bath?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Bath address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
