Every room in your home experiences different footfall, humidity swings, and acoustic demands. Here is how our technical survey team at GT Floors Ltd specifies flooring room by room across London properties.
1. Living Rooms, Reception Rooms & Dining Areas
High-visibility social spaces benefit most from Engineered Oak Herringbone Parquet, wide-plank engineered wood, or high-specification LVT. Where underfloor heating is installed, we bond engineered oak directly to the prepared screed using flexible elastomeric adhesive for maximum thermal efficiency.
2. Kitchens, Utility Rooms & Bathrooms
Standing water and appliance leaks mean 100% waterproof LVT (glue-down dryback or rigid-core SPC) is the safest specification. Avoid solid hardwood in wet zones.
3. Hallways, Porches & Entrance Corridors
London hallways endure grit, wet umbrellas, and heavy daily footfall. Specify a 0.55mm commercial-wear-layer LVT or an AC5 heavy-duty laminate, paired with a recessed coir entrance matwell.
4. Bedrooms, Loft Conversions & Staircases
For upstairs bedrooms and London leasehold flats requiring impact sound insulation, pair luxury carpets with Cloud 9 acoustic underlay, or fit engineered wood over a 20dB acoustic rubber crumb mat (book a free acoustic & subfloor survey).
