LVT Vinyl Flooring in Farnborough

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 Farnborough roughly one home in 4 is a flat (28%), so sound through the floor matters alongside the base under it.

LVT Vinyl flooring in Farnborough: what the housing says

The Rushmoor district counts 39,303 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 32% of the Rushmoor 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 Farnborough: 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.

Flats are 28% of the homes in the Rushmoor 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.

Local conditions

A screed poured recently is still giving up water, and much of what stands on the former airfield land is recent. Take a reading before anything goes down; where the heating sits in the slab, the board has to be rated for a warm base too.

    New apartments in GU14

    Much of what has gone up in Farnborough lately is apartments, on the town centre land and the former airfield. In a flat the lease normally sets an impact sound requirement, so the acoustic layer under LVT gets chosen before the board that sits on it.

Local fact sheet

Farnborough's homes, by the numbers

Rushmoor in the 2021 census: 39,303 households, 72% houses, 28% flats.

“Read the lease before choosing the floor, not after it is down.”

A new floor in a GU14 block starts from a base that was poured level, which is not how the rest of this list begins. Almost everywhere the first money goes on levelling a timber floor that has moved; on the airfield land it does not, and that budget is free for the board itself.

What has changed in Farnborough is the volume of apartment building: the town centre and the former airfield land have added purpose-built flats to a stock that was already semis and terraces through Empress, Fernhill and Knellwood. Where the home is leasehold, the lease sets the impact sound requirement.

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

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Farnborough

  • 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.
  • Acoustic underlay Over a slab in a flat, the underlay is chosen on its tested impact-sound figure and kept on file for the lease.

Questions

LVT Vinyl flooring in Farnborough: questions, answered

Is LVT the right floor for a Farnborough kitchen?

For most kitchens in Farnborough 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.

Can I order flooring samples to my Farnborough address?

Yes, and if the flat is bought but not yet handed over, send the samples wherever you are living now and carry them to the next viewing. Knellwood, the airfield land, GU14 or GU16, it makes no difference which address the pieces go to.

Do you deliver lvt vinyl flooring to Farnborough?

Yes. We deliver across Farnborough and Hampshire from our UK warehouse, including the GU14 and GU16 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 Farnborough?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Farnborough 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.
