Utilising our professional LVT fitters will ensure a proper and seamless installation of these tiles. Our experienced LVT fitters have the knowledge and expertise to handle the intricate process of fitting and laying LVT flooring.

We accurately measure and cut the tiles to fit spaces including around existing fixtures, ensuring a perfect finish every time.
Luxury Vinyl Floor Tiles
We are often asked what is LVT and how is it different to laminate flooring. LVT is typically made from various layers of synthetic materials. The exact composition can vary between manufacturers, but commonly, LVT is composed of the following layers:
- A Wear Layer: This is the topmost layer is usually a transparent wear layer made of polyurethane or another protective material. It is this layer that determines the level of resistance to scratches, stains, and general wear.
- Printed or Decorative Layer: This layer provides the printed design that gives the LVT its appearance. It can mimic natural materials such as wood, stone and tiling tile but can also come in a variety of shades, patterns and colours often with a new range coming out each year depending on what deign trend in vogue at the time.
- Vinyl Core Layer: The vinyl core layer provides durability and stability to the flooring. It is usually made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resin mixed with other additives to enhance strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability.
- Backing Layer: The backing layer is typically made of PVC or other materials and provides additional support and stability to the LVT.
A number of manufacturers may include additional layers, such as a sound-absorbing underlayment or an extra adhesive layer for easy installation or other elements that provide some 'unique feature' to try and differentiate its range. The most popular being Karndean and we are proficient Karndean floor fitters so nothing to warry about on that account. Commercial LVT will have an enhanced wear layer and is an excellent choice for commercial premises.
If you do have any particular brands or characteristics that are important to you and your selection, please share them with us so we can assist you in specifying the LVT suitable for you. Ideally if you could share some of your initial design thoughts we can narrow down the selection we bring to you for review otherwise you may find it very hard to come to a final decision!

Karndean Flooring Heanor
Karndean Flooring is a UK brand of floor covering. It has been manufactured since 1962 and is currently owned by Tarkett, a Dutch company. The name Karndean is derived from the initials of its founder, John Dankworth. Originally an importer of Italian floor coverings, the company began manufacturing its own products. Quality and durability have always been important to Karndean. Today, they offer three main ranges: Karndean Classic, Karndean Plus, and Karndean Luxe. These vinyl products can be laid on any type of subfloor. Karndean flooring has many benefits, including durability, easy cleaning, low maintenance, stylish design, and versatility. It is a popular choice for living room floors.
There is a wide range of Karndean flooring options available. The format of the flooring will affect the installation process. However, we are experienced and capable of fitting any type of Karndean flooring with a high-quality finish.
Karndean is a Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) that offers various styles and options. In addition to wood and stone designs, there is a selection of designs that allow for personal style and customization. The Heritage range is inspired by Victorian-era styles and tiling designs. Tiles can be used to incorporate different designs within a room or hallway, or to create a popular border effect. The Kaleidoscope range is vibrant and influenced by artists like Da Vinci and Van Gogh, incorporating various shapes into the designs.
Karndean, like other LVT brands, is available in different shapes such as plank or square. It also offers different fitting options. The majority of Karndean tiles are glued down, but there is a loose lay range that can be installed on top of an existing floor without glue. Another option is the rigid core tile range, which is similar to laminate flooring in terms of the planks interlocking during installation.
Karndean is durable and able to withstand heavy traffic, making it suitable for commercial use in retail spaces and canteens. In domestic spaces, it can create beautiful floors in kitchens, utility rooms, and bathrooms.
When investing in new flooring, it is important to choose the best option for your needs. Our experts can provide advice and guidance to ensure that the Karndean flooring you select is the right fit. Let Derbyshire Flooring Specialists be your trusted Karndean flooring fitter for your home or workplace across Heanor.
Karndean Fitters
Multiple rooms in a property often undergo renovation simultaneously, typically on one floor at a time. Whether it's the ground floor or upper floor, multiple floor surfaces are usually chosen. Our Karndean fitting services allow us to supply and install flooring for an entire floor at once. While it may be tempting to attempt DIY installation of Karndean flooring, it is more advisable to leave it to professionals, especially if we are already fitting your carpets. This way, including Karndean flooring becomes cost-effective and efficient. If you are having new carpets in your living room and Karndean in your kitchen, we can oversee the entire process and work closely with you to minimize disruption. Our focus is on providing personalized installations, starting with precise measurements of each space and selecting suitable floor bars to seamlessly transition from vinyl to carpet, resulting in a professional and polished finish across the entire floor.
Karndean flooring is different from textile and laminate flooring as it does not trap dust, allergens, or micro-organisms and is durable, hygienic, and stain-resistant. It is also resistant to warping from spills. However as with any floor it will get dirty and will benefit from being looked after properly and as a result you will get an extended life from it, whilst continuing to look good throughout.
Karndean recommends commercial cleaning with their specially formulated Karndean Clean which can be used either by hand or mechanical cleaning apparatus. By following their cleaning guidelines after installation and regular maintenance, your Karndean floor will maintain its high standards for many years.

Laminate Fitters Heanor
There are several different types of laminate flooring available on the market. The most common type is traditional laminate flooring, which consists of multiple layers of synthetic materials fused together. This type of laminate flooring is known for its durability and affordability. Another popular type is engineered laminate flooring, which is made with a core layer of high-density fibreboard (HDF) and a top layer of real wood veneer. This type of laminate flooring provides the look and feel of real hardwood while being more resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Additionally, there are laminate flooring options that mimic the appearance of ceramic tiling or stone, offering a versatile and cost-effective alternative to these materials. Overall, the different types of laminate flooring allow homeowners to choose the best option that suits their style, budget, and lifestyle needs.
There are several different types of laminate floor fitting methods available. The most common method is the click-lock system, where the laminate planks are designed to interlock with each other, creating a seamless and secure fit. Another popular method is the glue-down installation, where adhesive is applied directly to the subfloor and the laminate is then pressed onto it. This method provides a more permanent and stable installation. Additionally, there is the floating floor installation, where the laminate planks are not attached to the subfloor but instead float on top of an underlay. This method allows for easier removal and replacement of the laminate flooring if needed. Overall, the choice of laminate floor fitting method depends on factors such as personal preference, the condition of the subfloor, and the desired durability of the installation we can discuss these in greater detail with you to ensure you are confident that the choice you make will be right for your room.
Most laminate floor choices aim to mimic real wood. At a fraction of the price and the ability to last between ten and twenty years laminate flooring is a very prudent floor choice for those wanting the aesthetics of a wooden floor but without wanting to spend the money an have an easier floor to maintain too. Simply arrange for us to visit with our samples and catalogues and we are sure to be able to get the perfect laminate floor for your property.
Whilst modern laminate flooring has been made simpler with click fitting a quality installation starts with getting the sub floor surface ready. If you don't take the same care getting your sub floor base right you will end up have a laminate floor which may look uneven. However, the longer term stress and strain put on planks resting on an uneven floor will lead to damage and more costs in the long term to replace them - assuming you have spare or can get the exact matching laminates.
Preparing a floor before installing laminate planks is crucial to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish. The first step is to remove any existing flooring and thoroughly clean the subfloor, ensuring it is free from dirt, dust, and debris. Next, we check for any uneven areas and level them using a levelling compound, typically screen. We will also repair any damages or cracks in the subfloor to provide a solid base for the laminate planks. Finally, we will install a moisture barrier to protect the laminate from any potential moisture damage which also helps with sound dampening too. By following these steps, we ensure that your floor is properly prepared and ready for the installation of laminate planks so that you have a perfect long lasting laminate floor.

Essentially every carpet fitting in Derbyshire is a custom fit of sorts but we're up to the challenge.
For supply and fit services we take ownership of accurately measuring and ensuring that the direction of any carpet pattern is as you want it and you are fully aware of any potential joins if the carpet you choose does not come in a width that completely reaches from one side of the room to the other. If you do require a joint we will fit your carpet to minimise any visibility of these joints. We can remove your old carpet and underlay too if this has also deteriorated and then prepare the floor properly. If existing grippers are in good condition we will re-use them and if not, place any additional grippers as and where required. We ensure the underlay is securely in place before starting to lay the carpet. The importance of a well fitted carpet is to have it very subtly stretched into place onto the grippers so that it is taught enough to prevent any ridges from forming whilst still being flush to your skirting boards. Appropriate door bars will be fitted to prevent any section of lose carpet from becoming a trip hazard at the entry point of the room. We will advise on the right type of door bar to connect from one type of floor to the other but there as there are options such as silver, gold or wood colours you will have a choice on the aesthetic look of these too.
Carpet Supply & Fit

If you select a combination which may, for example, cause a more noticeable height difference between one room and another, we will ensure you know what to expect based on the choices you've made before any firm order is taken.

The simplest and most common option typically used by DIYers is nailing down. Whilst this is a is traditional method to nail the wood flooring directly onto the subfloor. This method is commonly used for solid wood flooring and provides a stable and secure fit. The key it to use the right nails, which once in place will be flush or below to top of the wood. along with enauring perfect alignment.
A floating installation is a popular choice for engineered wood flooring. This method involves placing the wood flooring over an underlay without the need for nails or glue. The planks are locked together using a click-and-lock system, providing a stable and flexible fit and is very neat although it does need a very flat sub base.
Wood Floor Fitters

Again this method is commonly used for engineered wood flooring a these planks are flatter and precisely manufactured enabling a flush fit with the sub floor providing a strong and permanent bond. Glue down installations are recommended for areas with high foot traffic or low moisture levels, as it helps prevent the planks from shifting or warping.
A staple down installation involves using a pneumatic stapler to secure the wood flooring to the subfloor.

Engineered Wood Flooring Heanor
Derbushire Flooring Specialist offer two types of premium flooring options: solid wood and engineered hardwood. While they share some similarities, they have distinct characteristics. Solid wood floors tend to be more substantial in thickness, which makes them heavier and requires a longer installation process. However, their added strength makes them well-suited for high-traffic areas, giving them an advantage over engineered hardwood floors in terms of durability.
Constructed from multiple layers of plywood or alternative materials, engineered flooring is created through a high-pressure bonding process. While it offers a diverse range of aesthetic options, its cost tends to surpass that of traditional hardwood flooring.
Compared to solid wood floors, engineered hardwood floors are generally more slender and adaptable, making them ideal for fitting around bulky furniture pieces like built-in closets. Additionally, their lighter weight makes them a great choice for smaller, more intimate spaces. Many homeowners opt for engineered hardwood floors to make a bold statement about their interior style. They're also a popular pick for creating expansive, open-plan living areas that are truly show-stopping. If you're unsure whether engineered hardwood floors are the right fit for your space, simply arrange a no obligation consultation so we can help you decide on the perfect option to meet your unique needs.
Commercial Flooring Heanor
When it comes to commercial flooring for both supply and especially fitting we are aware of the need to approach installation differently for business premises. We prioritize maintaining high safety standards for ourselves, staff, and customers, while minimising disruptions for employees during workplace refurbishments.
When you authorise Derbyshire Flooring Specialists to carry out a workplace flooring installation, we understand that the final decision on the floor or carpet may not have been made yet. We take into consideration the budgeted price points and preferences of staff or retail customers for both offices, storage rooms, boardrooms and washroom facilities. We can offer suggestions and recommendations, especially if you want to be more creative with colours and branding. Industrial carpeting tiles or vinyl tiles for example can provide flexibility to create borders, sections, and shapes on the floor that can even subtly be used to mark preferred walkways.
Commercial vinyl flooring is a popular choice for many businesses and commercial spaces. This type of flooring is durable, easy to clean, and can withstand heavy foot traffic. It is also available in a wide range of designs and styles, allowing businesses to choose a flooring option that suits their aesthetic preferences. Commercial vinyl flooring is also cost-effective compared to other flooring options, making it a practical choice for businesses looking to upgrade their space without breaking the bank. Additionally, it is resistant to stains, scratches, and moisture, making it a low-maintenance option for busy commercial environments. Overall, commercial vinyl flooring for kitchens and high traffic rooms is an excellent choice for businesses looking for a durable, cost-effective, and visually appealing flooring solution.
Commercial Carpets Heanor
When it comes to choosing flooring options for commercial spaces, there are two popular choices to consider: commercial carpet and commercial carpet tiles. Commercial carpet is a traditional option that provides a plush and comfortable surface. It is often chosen for its durability and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic. On the other hand, commercial carpet tiles offer more versatility and flexibility. They are individual tiles that can be easily replaced if damaged or stained, making maintenance and repairs much simpler. Additionally, commercial carpet tiles allow for creative designs and patterns to be created, adding a unique touch to any commercial space. Ultimately, the choice between commercial carpet and commercial carpet tiles depends on the specific needs and preferences of the business or organization.
At Derbyshire Flooring Specialist our commercial flooring installers can make relatively quick progress fitting carpet tiles. Firstly, we make sure the sub surface is clean and free of any debris or dust after we have already checked that the surface if flat and in a good state of repair that will not effect the performance of your new carpet tiles. Next, we will determine the starting point and lay out the tiles in the desired pattern. We then, depending on the adhesion requirements of the tile will either peel off the backing of each tile and press it firmly onto the floor, making sure to align the edges properly or apply glue to the floor before carefully placing the carpet tile on top when the adhesion level is optimum. We will then use a roller or a heavy object to apply pressure to the carpet tiles and ensure they adhere well. This is repeated for each tile until the entire area is covered. We will make the necessary cuts to the tile to allow access to floor power point before finally trimming any excess carpet around the perimeter of the room using a sharp utility knife - once completed you will be able to walk on and and enjoy your newly installed commercial carpet tiles almost immediately after completion.
Safety Flooring
Safety flooring is an essential element in maintaining a safe and secure environment, especially in high-traffic areas or spaces where there may be a risk of slips, trips, or falls. It is a bit of a catch all heading as several different types of flooring that can offer a safety benefit against a particular type of hazard. Whichever flooring it is it's primary purpose will be to prevent accidents and injuries by providing increased traction and grip underfoot.
You will mostly find a type of safety flooring in commercial and industrial settings, such as hospitals, schools, gyms, and kitchens, where safety is a top priority. As a general rule, safety flooring is resistant to moisture, chemicals, and other hazards, making it durable and long-lasting. With its non-slip properties and protective features, safety flooring helps to create a secure and comfortable space for both employees and visitors.
Non Slip Flooring For Wet Rooms
Whilst many people will associate safety and anti slip flooring with commercial environments wet rooms as bathrooms are becoming increasingly popular in domestic properties. Most people will instantly associate ceramic floor tiling with bathroom and wet room floors and rightly so as it is still the most popular option in residential properties however with an ageing population and a focus on minimising maintenance, vinyl flooring for wet rooms is a very good alternative. If installed using the cap coving technique it will also provide a continuous floor to wall surface that is easy to maintain and very hygienic.
Whatever option you are thinking of for your wet room floor Derbyshire Flooring Specialists can discuss and advise on all the options. Simply arrange for us to come and measure up and quote and we can chat with you then.

Additionally, rubber flooring is available in a wide range of colours and patterns, allowing for customization to match any design aesthetic and branding designs.

Gym Flooring
Whilst rubber is the most popular option for Gym floor there are several alternatives to rubber that provide durability and safety. One popular option is vinyl flooring, which is known for its resilience and easy maintenance. Vinyl floors are available in various thicknesses and can withstand heavy equipment and high foot traffic. Another alternative is cork flooring, which offers a natural and eco-friendly option too. Cork is shock-absorbent, antimicrobial, and provides excellent traction but overall not as hard wearing as rubber. Additionally, wood flooring, such as hardwood or bamboo, can be used in gyms with proper sealing and maintenance but this can be a very expensive option especially to repair if damaged for workouts. Ultimately, the choice of alternative flooring to rubber depends on factors such as budget, specific gym needs, and personal preferences but rubber is the number one choice for many gym owners.

Water underfloor heating has historically been the most popular, especially when fitting a complete floor of a property. This is mainly due to the lower ongoing running costs as the warm water which runs through the pipes is fed from the central boiler system. However, there is a much higher installation cost for water underfloor heating so in a number of instances, this has meant that this option have not been feasible.
With the government’s decision to phase out the installation of gas boilers in new homes from 2025 the rise in electric underfloor heating is likely to continue to rise. Even though the running costs are higher than water underfloor heating the installation is much less and means that this is a much more affordable option – especially when considering this heating option as part of your wet room upgrade. If you have or planning to utilise renewable energy sources such as solar for your property then electric underfloor heating will be the ideal choice.
Underfloor Heating Installers Heanor
The process for laying and connecting electric underfloor heating is much simpler and hence the lower installation costs. Where your floor is a regular shape utilising a Stickymat underfloor heating systems will speed up the process where the electric cabling is pre-set into a rectangular mat that can simply be rolled into place. It is however important that the floor is level and this may often involve setting the electric wiring into screed to ensure that a flat surface is created for the tiles which will maximise heat transfer.
If you have an irregularly shaped floor space then loose wire underfloor heating system will be required or one which utilised a fixing membrane that can easily be re-configured. Utilising a fixing membrane will be a better option if there is likely to be a little movement in the subfloor. Either of the loose wire systems will allow our team to lay the wire around the room and around fixtures and fittings such as toilets, baths and cabinets. Since the electric cabling is much thinner than the pipes required to allow water to flow through a water underfloor system the loss of room height will be less for an electric system which is another benefit.
Wet underfloor heating is also known as water or hydronic heating. It involves small pipes that carry heated water, similar to radiators, along the floor to heat the flooring surface. The pipes used in wet underfloor heating are thicker than electric cables and will increase the floor height, especially when insulating boards are added. Retrofitting a hydronic system requires extensive work on the existing floor to minimize the height difference. As a result, water underfloor heating systems are more commonly installed in new build properties or across an entire floor of a house where the floor level is consistent.
The steps for installing a wet underfloor heating system can vary, but generally involve the following process. First, the existing floor is prepared by removing any old floor coverings and ensuring the subfloor is clean and level. Next, insulation boards are laid to improve the efficiency of the heating system. Then, the underfloor heating pipes are laid out in a circuit pattern across the floor, ensuring adequate spacing between the pipes. The pipes are then connected to the boiler or heat source, and a pressure test is conducted to check for any leaks. Finally, a layer of screed or flooring is applied over the pipes to provide a smooth surface for the finished floor covering - ideally ceramic floor tiles or LVT to maximise the efficiency of the system.

Cushioned Flooring Heanor
Cushioned flooring is a generic phrase that refers to a type of flooring material that provides extra comfort and support underfoot. It is often used in areas where people spend long periods of time standing or walking, such as kitchens, playrooms, or exercise rooms. However, within the trade this is predominantly a sub section of vinyl flooring which has additional padding that is build within, or rather underneath, the other vinyl layers to provide additional cushioning. The main benefit of this type of flooring is to absorb impact and reduce strain on the feet, legs, and joints, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more comfortable flooring option and should a fall occur, provide a softer impact. Additionally, cushion flooring can also provide insulation and noise reduction benefits, making it a practical and versatile choice for both residential and commercial spaces on higher floors.
Cushion Flooring in Heanor
One of the biggest advantages of cushion flooring is its moisture resistance. Vinyl flooring is highly resistant to water, making it a suitable option for areas prone to spills or high humidity, such as bathrooms or basements. Its impermeable nature prevents water from seeping through, reducing the risk of damage and mould growth.
Cushion flooring is known for its durability and low maintenance requirements. It is highly resistant to scratches, stains, and wear, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like hallways or living rooms. Additionally, its smooth, non-porous surface makes it easy to clean with just a simple sweep and mop, saving you time and effort in the long run.
With cushion flooring, you don't have to compromise on style. It comes in a wide range of colours, patterns, and textures, allowing you to find the perfect match for your aesthetic preferences. Whether you prefer a classic wood look or a vibrant tile design, cushion flooring offers versatility in design options to suit any interior style.
Compared to other flooring options such as hardwood or natural stone, cushion flooring is relatively affordable. It provides a cost-effective solution without compromising on quality or aesthetics. So, if you're working with a limited budget but still want a durable and visually appealing flooring option, cushion flooring is worth considering.
Another reason why cushion flooring is relatively inexpensive is that it is one of the easier floor installations. It can be installed over most existing floors, including concrete, plywood, or ceramic tiles, saving you the hassle and cost of removing the old flooring - provided they are flat. If the floor has undulations or gaps a cushion floor is more likely to get damaged above these areas. Fortunately we can ensure your floor is ready for a new cushion vinyl floor by screeding over your existing floor - provided this is a suitable option, to leave you a floor which should last you many years.

Floor Levelling Heanor
Floor levelling techniques are essential in ensuring a smooth and durable surface for various flooring installations. These techniques involve a series of steps that need to be followed before laying down any type of flooring material. Proper floor preparation includes tasks such as removing old flooring, cleaning and levelling the subfloor, repairing any damages or cracks, and ensuring moisture barriers are in place. By implementing effective floor preparation techniques, you can prevent issues such as uneven surfaces, adhesive failure, and premature wear and tear of the flooring material. Ultimately, investing time and effort into floor preparation will result in a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing floor.
Floor Screeding Heanor
Floor screed plays a big part in preparing a floor to get a perfect finish. Floor screed is a thin layer of cementitious material that can be applied directly to an existing concrete or masonry floor base. Its primary function is to provide a smooth and level surface for any flooring to be installed on. It acts as a solid foundation, ensuring that the final floor finish is even and free from any imperfections.
There are different types of floor screed available, and the one we will use will depend on various factors such as the type of flooring being installed, the load-bearing requirements, and the location of the project. The most common types include traditional screed, self-levelling screed, and fast-drying screed.
Traditional screed, also known as sand and cement screed, is a mixture of sand, cement, and water. It is manually laid and requires us to level it out to achieve a smooth and flat finish. This type of screed is suitable for both residential and commercial projects and offers good thermal conductivity - so often used when an underfloor heating installation is planned it is ideal.
Self-levelling screed, as the name suggests, is a more fluid type of screed that spreads and levels itself. It is typically made from a mixture of cement, sand, and special additives that enhance flowability. Self-levelling screed is ideal for large areas and provides an even and smooth finish without the need for manual levelling.
Fast-drying screed is a relatively new type of screed that offers accelerated drying times. As a result it is more expensive but if time is of the essence where the quick installation of flooring is required. This screed can be ready for foot traffic within 24 hours, significantly reducing floor project timelines.
A perfectly flat floor is ideal for ceramic flooring and laminates which are more ridged and therefore a very even floor helps to improve the durability and longevity of the floor, preventing cracks and unevenness.
In commercial buildings floor screed also provides additional thermal insulation, helping to regulate the temperature of the building and can enhance sound insulation, reducing noise transmission between floors and creating a quieter environment.
At Derbyshire Flooring Specialists we understand the pros and cons of each type of screed and will chose the most suitable one based on specific project requirements for achieving a high-quality and long-lasting floor finish.
