Too many options? You don’t have to figure it out alone
Choosing the right LVT flooring can feel overwhelming. There are planks, tiles, herringbone designs, stone effects, wood grains, different wear layers, trusted brands and plenty of online advice that’s not always relevant to your home.
You might be wondering: should you choose dryback or click LVT? Will you need subfloor preparation or smoothing compound? Is LVT suitable for your kitchen or hallway? What’s the difference between a budget product and a premium LVT floor, and is it worth the extra investment?
That’s exactly where we come in. At Grimley Flooring, we help homeowners across Eastbourne and East Sussex choose the right LVT flooring for their home, budget and lifestyle, providing honest advice and expert guidance from the initial consultation through to finished installation.
Choosing the right LVT can feel overwhelming. There are many different styles and specs, and it’s not always clear what will work best in your home. That’s why we help homeowners across East Sussex choose a quality LVT floor they’ll love living with.
LVT that looks beautiful and lasts for years
A great LVT floor should do more than look good when it’s first installed. It should feel solid underfoot, withstand the demands of everyday life and retain its appearance for years to come.
We supply and install a wide range of LVT flooring styles, including:
• Realistic wood effect planks with textured finishes
• Stone and tile-effect designs for kitchens, hallways and contemporary living spaces
• Herringbone and parquet LVT for a timeless, high-end appearance
• Durable, waterproof LVT flooring for busy family homes
We handpick LVT ranges from trusted manufacturers renowned for their quality, durability and design, helping you choose a floor that not only looks exceptional but also delivers lasting performance.
Our trusted suppliers
Professionally installed for a flawless finish
With LVT flooring, the quality of the installation is just as important as the product itself. The difference between an average floor and one that looks truly premium often comes down to expert preparation, careful planning and attention to detail.
We take the time to prepare the subfloor correctly, plan the layout for the best visual result and install your LVT with clean edges, precise joins and seamless transitions through doorways and open-plan spaces.
If you’re investing in premium LVT, professional flooring installation is what ensures a beautiful, long-lasting finish you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Subfloor preparation: the part most people don’t see (but always notice)
LVT flooring is only as good as the surface beneath it. Even minor imperfections in the subfloor can affect the appearance of your new floor, reduce its lifespan and compromise the overall finish.
Before installation, we carefully assess your subfloor and carry out any flooring preparation work required, including smoothing and levelling, to create a solid, even base. This ensures your LVT sits perfectly flat, feels stable underfoot and performs as it should.
Proper subfloor preparation is one of the biggest differences between an average installation and a truly premium finish.
Dryback vs click LVT: which is right for your home?
LVT flooring is available in two main fitting systems: dryback (glue-down) and click (SPC or floating). Choosing the right option depends on your home, your subfloor and the finish you want to achieve.
Dryback LVT is bonded directly to a properly prepared subfloor. In most homes, this is the option we recommend because it offers greater stability, a more authentic feel underfoot and a cleaner, more seamless finish. It can also reduce the need for trims and threshold bars, depending on the layout of your home.
Click LVT locks together and is installed over an underlay. While it can be the right choice in some situations, it generally requires more allowance for expansion and often relies on additional finishing trims around doorways and room edges.
For the majority of installations, we recommend dryback LVT. When installed over a professionally prepared subfloor, it delivers the premium appearance, long-term durability and seamless finish that most homeowners are looking for.

LVT supply and installation FAQ
LVT flooring is a practical, durable choice for many homes, but it’s important to understand your options before making a decision. Below you’ll find answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often about luxury vinyl tile flooring.
What is LVT?
Luxury vinyl tile is a durable, multi-layer flooring that replicates the natural look of wood, stone or ceramic tiles. It offers a realistic appearance, a comfortable feel underfoot and excellent durability for everyday living.
Why choose LVT?
LVT is hard-wearing, low-maintenance, water-resistant and available in a wide range of realistic wood and stone designs, making it ideal for busy family homes.
How long does LVT flooring last?
When professionally installed and properly maintained, quality LVT flooring typically lasts 15–25 years, with some ranges backed by a lifetime residential warranty.
How much does LVT flooring cost?
The cost depends on the product, room size and any subfloor preparation required. As a guide, prices typically start from around £100 per square metre, including installation.
How long does fitting take?
Most installations take one to three days, depending on the size of the project and the amount of subfloor preparation required.
Do you fit click systems or glue-down?
Yes. We install both systems, although we generally recommend glue-down (dryback) LVT for its superior stability, durability and seamless finish.
Why is subfloor preparation so important with LVT?
LVT follows the surface beneath it. If the subfloor is not smooth and stable, imperfections can show through. We prepare the base properly so your floor looks right and stays right.
How do I care for LVT?
Sweep regularly and mop with an LVT-safe cleaner. Avoid steam cleaners and harsh chemicals.
Can LVT be used with underfloor heating?
Most glue-down LVT products are compatible. We confirm suitability during planning.
Can LVT be repaired?
In some cases, individual tiles can be replaced if spares are available.
