Harvey Maria Design Series

The Harvey Maria Design Series is a celebration of pattern and colour, bringing together collections inspired by historical designs yet crafted using modern, high-performance LVT. This luxury vinyl tile flooring offers the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and practicality, making it an ideal choice for today’s busy homes. The series includes several distinct collections, each with its own unique charm, designed to add depth, texture, and personality to your interiors.

Key collections within the Design Series include Northmore, Aubrey, and Walbrook. The Northmore collection takes its inspiration from 19th-century encaustic floor tiles, blending decorative patterns with heritage colour pigments and an authentic patina finish. These prestigious Victorian floor tile designs are reinterpreted for modern life, suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and utility rooms. The Aubrey collection offers a fresh take on iconic Victorian encaustic tiles with a smaller 6″x6″ scale pattern, presenting a vintage-inspired look with a modern twist, perfect for adding character. The Walbrook collection is inspired by the beauty of Arts and Crafts encaustic tiles, featuring patterns drawn from historical contexts but manufactured using contemporary techniques for a stylish, durable finish.

All Harvey Maria Design Series floors are luxury vinyl tiles, renowned for their durability and practicality. They boast a robust construction with protective wear layers (often 0.55mm), making them resistant to scratches, stains, and scuffs – ideal for high-traffic areas. Being LVT, these floors are inherently waterproof, making them perfectly suited for kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and hallways where spills and moisture are common. Maintenance is simple; regular sweeping and occasional mopping with approved cleaners keep the floor looking its best. Many designs also feature slip-resistant surfaces for added safety. Harvey Maria floors are compatible with underfloor heating systems, adding warmth and comfort underfoot. Furthermore, Harvey Maria emphasises sustainability, with floors certified for environmentally conscious manufacturing and achieving gold standard clean air accreditation.

Buying Guide: Is the Harvey Maria Design Series Right for You?

Choosing the right floor involves considering various factors. Here’s a guide to help you decide if the Harvey Maria Design Series fits your needs:

• Room usage / Location: Thanks to its waterproof and durable nature, this LVT is excellent for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, boot rooms, and utility areas. Its stylish designs also make it suitable for living rooms and bedrooms where you want to make a design statement.
• Lifestyle: Ideal for busy households, including those with children and pets. The easy-clean, low-maintenance surface handles daily wear and tear effortlessly. Its patterned designs can also be forgiving when it comes to showing dirt.
• Budget: Harvey Maria is positioned as a premium LVT brand. While representing an investment, it offers longevity, exceptional design, and a lifetime residential warranty, providing excellent long-term value.
• Durability & Maintenance: Highly durable with strong wear layers and often a lifetime residential warranty. It’s resistant to scratches and stains. Maintenance is minimal – just sweep and mop periodically.
• Material Type Pros & Cons: As LVT, it offers significant advantages: waterproof, durable, easy to clean, warmer and softer underfoot than ceramic tiles, and compatible with UFH. Potential cons include the need for a perfectly smooth subfloor for glue-down installation and being a premium product, the initial cost is higher than standard vinyl or laminate.
• Aesthetics & Style: Perfect if you love patterned flooring. The Design Series offers geometric, Victorian-inspired, and Arts & Crafts styles in various sophisticated colour palettes, suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
• Comfort & Sound: LVT feels warmer and slightly softer underfoot compared to ceramic or stone tiles, offering better comfort and sound absorption.
• Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with most types of underfloor heating systems (both electric and water-based), ensuring a warm and comfortable floor.
• Installation: This is typically a glue-down LVT product. While DIY is possible for experienced individuals, professional installation by expert fitters, like those recommended by Grosvenor Flooring, is advised to ensure a perfect finish and validate the warranty. Proper subfloor preparation is crucial.
• Sustainability: Harvey Maria floors are certified for sustainable manufacturing and have achieved gold standard clean air accreditation, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. They are also designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
