LVT Vinyl Flooring in Gateshead

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 Gateshead 80% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (43%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

LVT Vinyl flooring in Gateshead: what the housing says

The Gateshead district counts 88,999 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 43% of the Gateshead 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 Gateshead: 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.

Social renting is 25% of households in Gateshead, 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.

Local conditions

A relet at Deckham or Felling is often floored while it stands empty: heating off for weeks, then run hard the day the tenant arrives. Do not lay into that swing; the boards want the room's temperature first, and a perimeter gap that allows for it.

Room by room

LVT Vinyl in Gateshead, room by room

  • Room

    Tyneside flats

    Tyneside flats put one household above another inside what reads from the street as a single house. Whatever the upper flat walks on, the neighbour below hears, so the resilient mat is specified first and the LVT that covers it second.

    Socially rented homes

    Social renting takes in more Gateshead households than almost anywhere we supply, and in that stock resilience is the specification rather than looks. A tough laminate or a deep-wear-layer LVT stays serviceable long after a thin timber board has worn through.

    Kitchens

    In a home that changes occupants often, the kitchen floor is the one most likely to need patching rather than admiring. A tile-format LVT lets a damaged square be cut out and matched to the ones around it, which no continuous board floor allows.

Local fact sheet

Gateshead's homes, by the numbers

Gateshead in the 2021 census: 88,999 households, 80% houses, 20% flats.

Renting in Gateshead changed hands more than it grew. Across the borough, council and association letting fell back over the decade while private letting climbed by rather more, and the distance between the two has almost halved. Ownership barely moved, so what is being let is the stock that was already standing.

Gateshead is semi-detached before it is anything else, terraces next, and then the Tyneside flat – two homes stacked as the upper and lower halves of one building. With a quarter of households socially renting and more renting privately, what the floor has to do is last.

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

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Gateshead

  • 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.
  • 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.

Questions

LVT Vinyl flooring in Gateshead: questions, answered

Is LVT the right floor for a Gateshead kitchen?

For most kitchens in Gateshead 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 Gateshead address?

Yes. We post samples to any Gateshead address. Say which half of a Tyneside flat is being floored: the upper one takes impact insulation under the board because a household lives below, the lower one does not, and the shortlists differ.

Do you deliver lvt vinyl flooring to Gateshead?

Yes. We deliver across Gateshead and Tyne and Wear from our UK warehouse, including the NE8, NE9, NE10, NE11 and NE85 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 Gateshead?

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