HOLLAND PARK LVT

The Holland Park LVT collection from Lewis Abbott represents a significant step forward in luxury vinyl flooring, offering homeowners a sophisticated and highly practical alternative to natural materials. This range is thoughtfully curated to include a variety of designs that capture the authentic essence of wood grains and stone textures. Available in classic planks, contemporary tiles, and elegant herringbone patterns, Holland Park provides versatile options to suit diverse aesthetic preferences and interior design schemes, from traditional charm to modern minimalism.

Each plank and tile within the Holland Park range features meticulous attention to detail. The wood effect planks boast an Embossed in Register (EIR) texture, meaning the surface texture precisely aligns with the printed wood grain pattern beneath, creating an incredibly realistic look and feel underfoot. Combined with subtle micro-bevelled edges, these planks convincingly mimic the appearance of genuine hardwood flooring. Similarly, the stone effect tiles offer authentic reproductions of natural stone and concrete, providing a chic and durable surface without the coldness or installation challenges of the real thing.

Beyond its visual appeal, Holland Park LVT is built to perform. Constructed with a total thickness of 2.5mm and featuring a substantial 0.55mm wear layer, this flooring is designed for longevity. This heavy-duty wear layer provides excellent resistance against scratches, scuffs, stains, and daily wear and tear, making it suitable for heavy domestic use and even moderate commercial applications. Furthermore, the range boasts an R10 slip resistance rating, offering added safety and peace of mind in potentially wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Its fully waterproof nature confirms its suitability for these moisture-prone environments.

Maintenance is refreshingly simple with Holland Park LVT. Unlike natural wood or stone, it doesn’t require sealing, polishing, or specialised treatments. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, along with occasional damp mopping using a pH-neutral cleaner, is all that’s needed to keep the floor looking its best. This ease of care, coupled with its inherent durability, makes it a perfect choice for busy families, pet owners, and anyone seeking a beautiful yet low-maintenance flooring solution. The range is also fully compatible with underfloor heating systems (up to 27°C), adding to its comfort and versatility. Backed by a 20-year residential and 10-year commercial warranty, Holland Park LVT offers lasting beauty and performance.

Installation is via the glue-down method, which ensures maximum stability and durability, particularly in larger areas or rooms with significant temperature fluctuations. While this method requires careful subfloor preparation and professional installation for optimal results and warranty validation, it results in a secure, long-lasting floor that integrates seamlessly into your space. Grosvenor Flooring offers expert supply and fit services across Altrincham, Manchester, Wilmslow, Chester, Nantwich, and the wider Cheshire area, ensuring your Holland Park LVT is installed perfectly.
