Premium LVT Flooring Supplied and Fitted Across East Sussex

Too many options? You don’t have to figure it out alone

LVT comes with a lot of choice. Planks, tiles, herringbone, stone looks, wood grains, wear layers, different brands, and plenty of advice online that is not always relevant to your home.

You might be wondering: do we go dryback or click? Do we need smoothing compound? Will it work in the kitchen or hallway? What is the difference between a budget LVT and a premium one, and will it actually hold up?

That’s exactly where we come in. At Grimley Flooring, we help homeowners across East Sussex choose a high quality LVT floor that suits their home, budget, and lifestyle, without confusion.

Subfloor prep: the part most people don’t see (but always notice)

LVT only looks as good as what it is installed onto. Any unevenness underneath can show through, affect how it wears, and reduce the overall finish.

We assess your subfloor and carry out preparation work when needed, including smoothing and levelling, so your LVT sits flat, feels stable underfoot, and performs properly over time.

This is often the difference between an average install and a genuinely high end result.

Dryback vs click: what most homeowners need to know

LVT generally comes in two fitting systems.

Dryback, also known as glue down, is installed directly to a properly prepared subfloor. In most homes, this is the option we recommend for improved stability and a cleaner finish. It can also reduce the need for trims and threshold bars, depending on your layout.

Click, also known as floating or SPC, locks together and sits over an underlay. It can be suitable in some situations, but it usually needs more allowance for movement and finishing details at edges.

We recommend dryback LVT for the best possible result. It is more stable, sits beautifully when installed over a properly prepared subfloor, and allows for a cleaner finish through doorways and around room edges, without relying on extra trims.
