A beautiful floor starts with what’s underneath it. In this project, we transformed this basement area and staircase with wood-effect luxury vinyl flooring, bringing warmth, character and a coordinated finish to the home.
Our project video takes you through the transformation, from preparing the existing subfloor to the finished planks and carefully fitted stair nosings.
Creating the Right Foundation
Subfloor preparation is an essential part of a professional gluedown LVT installation. Before the finished flooring goes down, the surface beneath it needs attention.
For this project, the preparation included ARDITEX NA smoothing compound which helps create a smooth base ready for the new floor.
This stage might disappear beneath the finished planks, but it is a key part of the work. Taking care over the preparation helps us achieve the clean, even appearance that makes the completed floor stand out.
Wood-Effect Flooring That Brings the Room Together
The chosen flooring features warm timber tones and distinctive grain detailing, introducing the appearance of wood into the space.
Against the light walls and white woodwork, the planks add depth without overpowering the room. Once the furniture is back in place, the combination of natural colours and wood-effect flooring creates a welcoming setting for everyday living.
For homeowners exploring LVT flooring in London,this project shows how much the colour and layout of a floor can influence the feel of an interior.
Carrying the Finish onto the Stairs
One of the standout features of this installation is the staircase.
Continuing the wood-effect finish onto the steps connects the different levels of the home and gives the stairway a more coordinated appearance. Each step requires careful measuring and cutting, with particular attention to the edges.
The stair nosings complete the front of each tread, protecting the exposed flooring edge and creating a clearly defined finish. These smaller details play a big part in how the staircase looks once everything comes together.
Why Consider Gluedown LVT?
Gluedown luxury vinyl flooring offers plenty of flexibility when planning an interior. With individual planks bonded to a suitably prepared subfloor, the installation can be carefully arranged around the room’s layout.
For this home, the appeal is clear:
* Warm wood-effect tones that complement the furniture and décor.
* A coordinated appearance across the floor and staircase.
* Neat detailing around steps, edges and adjoining areas.
* A finish that suits both contemporary and traditional interiors.
Choosing the right flooring involves more than selecting a colour. The condition of the subfloor, the room layout and the staircase details all help determine the right approach.
