LVT Vinyl Flooring in Cambridge

A Cambridge household arrives home with bicycles, and the hall floor of a CB1 or CB4 terrace takes wet tyres and boots all winter; the BML rigid vinyl plank is the floor that does not mind, because the plank itself is listed as waterproof and the surface is mopped. Where the hall steps down to a rear extension a floating click floor makes the level change a trim detail, and the underlay bonded to the plank keeps the build-up shallow at the step.

For a landlord letting to graduate students in Arbury or Chesterton, a scuffed plank is replaced on its own between tenants. At Eddington and Darwin Green the plank goes over heated screed and is listed as compatible with it; in a Historic Core flat the lease sets the acoustic layer beneath. The tile format in the same range suits a bathroom under a terrace roof.

Flats are 35% of the homes in the Cambridge district, and a rigid-vinyl floor in a flat goes over the slab on an acoustic underlay: it is thin enough to stay under the door thresholds and quiet enough, with the right underlay, to meet the impact-sound clause a lease carries. The kitchen and the bathroom of a flat are its two natural rooms.

Terraced houses are 28% of the homes in Cambridge, and the terrace is where the rigid-vinyl range does most of its work in Cambridge: 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.
