A floor lasts a lot longer with a few small habits ✨

New twist carpets shed loose fibres for the first few weeks, which is normal and it stops, so keep vacuuming. Grit in the pile is what actually wears a carpet out, not walking on it.

Spills get blotted, never rubbed, because rubbing works the mark into the backing 🍷

On LVT and wood, felt pads under every chair leg and a decent mat at each outside door.

And if you get a mark you are unsure about, give us a ring before you start scrubbing at it. We would rather talk you through it than see it made worse.

Two floors, one hallway 👌
Herringbone runner on the stairs, oak herringbone parquet on the hall floor, both in at Groby.

The runner has to hold a straight edge and keep an even margin of painted timber either side as the stairs turn. Then the parquet on the floor gets set out from a centre line so the points run square down the hall and the cuts land even at the skirting.

Two herringbones in one space works because the scale is different. Fine weave on the treads, proper blocks on the floor.

Come and see us in Groby.

Watch it run straight through from the dining room into the living room 👀

Cortona LVT, fitted by our Groby team 👌

Running one floor through two rooms means the boards have to line up through the doorway with no threshold strip breaking it up, so the joins carry straight on and the room reads as one space. That is all in the set-out at the start, and the subfloor has to be flat across both rooms before a single plank goes down.

LVT through your main living areas handles the daily hammering, wipes clean, and stays warm to walk on.

Thinking of doing yours in one run? Come and see us in Groby.

Same plank, four different floors. The pattern does the heavy lifting. Swipe.

Bathrooms are all cuts, no easy runs 👀

Amtico Spacia in Powdered Oak, in stock at Groby.

Look at the work round the edges here. Scribed tight to the bath panel, cut round the pan and the pipe, and finished into a brass trim at the door where it meets the carpet. Every one of those is a hand cut, and any one of them being off is the bit you would stare at every morning.

LVT belongs in a bathroom. Water is no bother, and it is warm to stand on getting out of the bath.

Pop into Groby and have a look.

Warm oak against grey units, hard to beat 👌

Amtico Spacia in New England Oak, in stock at Groby.

The planks run the length of the room here, away from the window, so the light travels along the boards instead of across the joins. It is a small decision made at the start that changes how the whole kitchen reads.

LVT belongs in a kitchen. Spills wipe straight off, and it stays warm to walk on first thing in the morning.
Pop into Groby and see a full board down.

Chequerboard hallway. Never goes out of style 🖤🤍

Amtico Décor in a black and white chequer. Laid on the diagonal so the hall looks longer, and every diamond lines up dead straight the whole way down. That's all in the setting out

It's LVT, so it's warm on your feet, waterproof and you just mop it. Ideal for a hallway that takes the brunt of the front door 👌

Pop into our Groby showroom and see the Amtico range.
