LVT Vinyl Flooring in Nottingham

Between the Victorian streets of Sherwood and Mapperley and the estates further out, Nottingham runs on lets as much as on owner-occupiers. Vinyl is the floor that reads well at a viewing and still reads well three tenancies later.

LVT Vinyl flooring in Nottingham: what the housing says

Scratches from furniture and pets stay in the wear layer rather than the picture beneath it, and a damaged plank comes out without disturbing the rest.

Landlords in Lenton, Dunkirk and the Arboretum buy floors for houses that turn over every summer, and the BML rigid vinyl plank is bought for the day the tenancy ends: one damaged board is clicked out and replaced, the surface is mopped rather than refinished, and the plank itself is listed as waterproof, so the kitchen and the shower room of an HMO get the same floor as the bedrooms.

The same plank serves the owner in Sherwood who wants one floor from the hall to the back door, floating on its bonded underlay over levelled boards. On the slab of an Aspley or Bilborough estate house nothing but a checked membrane goes beneath it; in a Lace Market flat the lease usually asks for an acoustic layer; at Trent Basin the screed is heated and the plank is listed as compatible with it. The herringbone block in the same range gives an NG7 hall the pattern.

Semi-detached houses are 33% of the Nottingham 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 Nottingham: 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 Nottingham, and the terrace is where the rigid-vinyl range does most of its work in Nottingham: 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.

Local conditions

Over a rock-cut cellar the ground floor is suspended timber across an unusually deep void. That is not a problem in itself, but it makes two things decisive: whether the joist ends bearing into the walls are sound, and whether the void still has air moving through it.

Local fact sheet

Nottingham's homes, by the numbers

Nottingham in the 2021 census: 124,745 households, 76% houses, 24% flats.

Nottingham is built on sandstone, and a great many of its older houses have a cellar cut straight into the rock. Add a third of the city in semis, better than a quarter in terraces and close to three households in ten renting privately, and the ground floor is rarely the simple slab it looks like.

Nottingham combines grand Victorian and Edwardian homes in areas like The Park and Mapperley with a vibrant modern scene around the Lace Market and city centre. West Bridgford remains one of the East Midlands’ most sought-after suburbs, where premium flooring is standard in the area’s larger family homes.

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

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Nottingham

  • 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.

Questions

LVT Vinyl flooring in Nottingham: questions, answered

Is LVT the right floor for a Nottingham kitchen?

For most kitchens in Nottingham 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.

Is your flooring suitable for underfloor heating in Nottingham homes?

Many of our engineered wood and LVT ranges are fully compatible with underfloor heating — a great fit for Nottingham’s newer builds and renovations. Always check the individual product specification or ask our team for advice.

Do you deliver lvt vinyl flooring to Nottingham?

Yes. We deliver across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire from our UK warehouse, including the NG1, NG2, NG3, NG5, NG6 and NG7 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 Nottingham?

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