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 Crawley roughly one home in 4 is a flat (26%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.
LVT Vinyl flooring in Crawley: what the housing says
The Crawley district counts 45,500 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.
Terraced houses are 37% of the homes in Crawley, and the terrace is where the rigid-vinyl range does most of its work in Crawley: 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.
Social renting is 23% of households in Crawley, and a rigid-vinyl floor is the specification that housing providers write for kitchens and bathrooms across a programme: one click floor, listed as waterproof, laid quickly, cleaned with a damp mop, with the E1-class laminate taking the dry rooms.
We deliver across Crawley and West Sussex. Most in-stock orders arrive within a timeframe that depends on the delivery postcode. We also cover Horsham, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Reigate, Redhill, Dorking and surrounding Sussex and Surrey borders.
The range is BML rigid-core vinyl in four formats: the 5.2 mm click planks with a 0.3 mm wear layer, such as BML Natural Oak SPC Click Flooring; the 6.5 mm wide planks with a 0.55 mm wear layer, such as BML Grey Oak SPC Wide Flooring and BML Rustic Oak SPC Wide Flooring; the herringbone boards, such as BML Herringbone European Oak SPC; and the 305 x 610 mm click floor tiles in concrete and slate decors. All are listed as waterproof and listed for underfloor heating.
LVT vinyl suits Crawley kitchens, where water does not damage the material, it is warm with underfloor heating, and it is realistic enough to flow into adjoining living areas.
Crawley’s active rental market, driven by Gatwick employment and London commuters, demands durable, easy-clean flooring. Laminate and LVT handle tenant turnover cost-effectively.

Crawley in the 2021 census: 45,500 households, 74% houses, 26% flats.
Laid out as a new town in neighbourhoods, Crawley shows it in the stock: more than a third terraced, close to a quarter in purpose-built flats, and social renting above one household in five. Bewbush, Broadfield, Furnace Green, Gossops Green and Langley Green were each built to a plan, so a house in one of them tends to be built like its neighbours.
Crawley combines New Town housing across its neighbourhoods with extensive modern developments at Forge Wood, Kilnwood Vale and Maidenbower, plus characterful properties in surrounding villages like Worth and Pease Pottage. Gatwick Airport proximity, the M23 corridor and 35-minute trains to London Bridge drive consistent demand from aviation workers, commuters and families.
New-town ground floors are a concrete slab with screed over them, built neighbourhood by neighbourhood to one plan. Where a house in Broadfield or Furnace Green needs a moisture test and a levelling coat, the ones either side usually do too.

Before you choose
Before you order in Crawley
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 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.
Consent and the slip figure A tenancy agreement usually needs the landlord's consent for a hard floor. A provider specifying across units asks for the wear layer, the impact-sound figure and the slip test.
LVT Vinyl flooring in Crawley: questions, answered
Is LVT the right floor for a Crawley kitchen?
For most kitchens in Crawley 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 Crawley new-build developments?
On a screeded slab, the moisture reading and the levelling coat decide the outcome more than the range does. Get both right and laminate, LVT or SPC will all sit flat and quiet; get them wrong and the most expensive board in the shop will still telegraph every dip.
Do you deliver lvt vinyl flooring to Crawley?
Yes. We deliver across Crawley and West Sussex from our UK warehouse, including the RH10, RH11 and RH77 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 Crawley?
Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Crawley 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.
