SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring has a rigid stone-based core, making it more stable in fluctuating temperatures and resistant to dents. LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is slightly softer and warmer underfoot, which makes it ideal for living rooms and bedrooms. Both are waterproof, but SPC is generally better for bathrooms and high-moisture areas.
Yes. All Flooring Surgeons LVT and SPC products are tested for compatibility with underfloor heating. They transfer heat evenly and stay flat without warping or lifting, provided the heating system is installed correctly and used within the recommended temperature range.
With proper care, our LVT and SPC floors typically last 15–20 years or more. The wear layer (0.5–0.7mm) protects against scratches, dents, and stains, making it suitable for heavy traffic, families, and homes with pets. Many of our products also come with long-term warranties for added peace of mind.
Maintenance is simple: sweep regularly, mop with warm water and a mild detergent, and wipe spills immediately. There’s no need for sanding, polishing, or sealing. Unlike real wood or stone, vinyl floors retain their showroom look with minimal effort.
Absolutely. Flooring Surgeons offers free LVT and SPC samples across the UK. You can see the colour in your own lighting, feel the textures underfoot, and test how it looks with your furniture before making any purchase.
It is essential to note that, unlike many standard options on the market, our collections are specifically designed to address the real challenges of UK homes: damp hallways after a rainy day, the daily rush of children and pets, or the need for warmth in winter when underfloor heating is installed. With both performance and lifestyle in mind, our Luxury Vinyl Planks capture the authentic look and texture of Solid Wood Flooring, while offering far greater durability and moisture resistance. Every detail—from the layered core structure to the embossed surface finish—has been carefully crafted to meet the user’s needs.
SPC vs. LVT – Tailored to Your Space:
At Flooring Surgeons, we aimed to exceed the typical “durable and waterproof” claims. That’s why we introduce features often overlooked in the market:
Our company recently completed a renovation project in London that utilised SPC vinyl flooring throughout the bathroom and kitchen. Despite heavy use by a family over the last three years, with pets, daily water spills, and constant foot traffic, the floor remains pristine. Besides being incredibly stylish, the homeowners praised both the appearance and the functionality of the floor: “It’s been a long time since we had a floor that looks this stylish, yet never causes us any trouble.”

Every home speaks its own language. Floors are the first words. Flooring Surgeons takes pride in the fact that their LVT collections are not merely collections of styles – they’re different dialects of design. If you want to tell the story of your space in wood, parquet, or stone, these are the three ways you can do so.
There are a few rules to follow when you have a wooden floor: avoid spilling on it, refrain from scratching it, and remember to polish it regularly. Our wood-effect LVT rewrites that book. The old oak and walnut furniture is recalled, but it forgets all the fuss that came with them.
Upon touching it, you will be able to see the knots, the shifting tones, and the shadow beneath that grain, and when you touch it with your hand, the texture will rise to meet your touch. On the other hand, beneath it all, there’s vinyl: waterproof, affordable, and free from the tasks that timber is likely to require.
This is not an imitation of anything. The feel of wood is achieved through the use of this product without any of the baggage associated with wood.
Rooms move differently as a result of patterns in them. Herringbone floors are not just standing there – they direct the eye, tilt the energy, and make even an empty hallway look alive as they direct the eye.
In addition to our parquet and herringbone LVT, we offer you the freedom of movement without the barrier of cost and maintenance. A click-fit system allows each piece to be locked into place with geometric certainty, resulting in an overall design that feels seamless, as if it has evolved organically.
The other benefit is that, unlike traditional parquet, you do not have to protect it from spills or keep it away from busy areas if it gets dirty. Essentially, this is a heritage design stripped of its fragility—an elegance that can be lived with for a very long time.
There is a lot of weight and authority to stone, as well as permanence to it. There’s also a tendency for it to freeze your toes in winter and crack when pressure is applied.
Although our stone and tile-effect LVT retains its high quality, the second quality is compromised. Marble that does not require sealing, concrete that will not echo with every step, slate that will not shock your bare feet, instead, welcome them. A shadow play is created by the grout lines, rather than being a dirt trap, as they are built in.
In other words, it is not stone as you had imagined it to be, but rather stone as you are suffering from it.
Not every vinyl floor is built the same. SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) flooring has a backbone that ordinary LVT simply can’t match. Flooring Surgeons utilises a dense stone-based core specifically designed to maintain your floor’s flatness, solidity, and stability, regardless of the room’s temperature, foot traffic, or ambient conditions.
You can think of SPC as vinyl with an armour coating: it offers the same style and waterproof protection as standard LVT, but underneath is a more rigid, steadier surface that is better suited to homes that don’t stand still.
It is essential to note that LVT is flexible, which makes it both comfortable and prone to dents, uneven subfloors, or expansion. SPC, with its rigid stone core, can solve these problems to the best of its abilities.
As a result, SPC enhances the strength and resilience of vinyl by leveraging its familiar strengths and amplifying them.
Even though colour and texture are essential elements in design, proportions make a vast difference. To achieve a sense of openness and calm, our wide plank SPC collections can span a room with fewer joins than other collections.
It is particularly effective when used in modern interiors, where long, broad planks of grey oak or pale ash create a sense of spaciousness in smaller rooms or make open-plan areas appear seamless. SPC has the strength to hold its shape for an extended period of time; even these wider boards will stay in place without bending or cupping as a result of its strength.
As for style, it’s contemporary, with a solid underfoot feel backed by a lot of engineering.
Choosing the right flooring isn’t just about how it looks underfoot—it is also about how it gets there. There are several factors to consider when selecting the installation method for your new space, including cost, flexibility, durability, and the speed at which you can enjoy it. It is our aim at Flooring Surgeons to provide you with an overview of the two main approaches UK homeowners use for Premium Vinyl: click-lock and glue-down.
In the modern interlocking system space, Click-lock is a rising star. It is similar to a puzzle piece, where tiles or planks snap together with ease. You don’t have to worry about adhesives, waiting times, or specialist equipment when using this method. This type of appliance is gaining popularity in homes where speed and flexibility are essential. The glue-down method, on the other hand, has been the traditional method for decades. Using adhesive, it is bonded directly to the subfloor, making it more permanent and stable than other types of flooring. Additionally, it is better suited to high-traffic areas.
Here’s what most brands forget to tell you: a click-lock isn’t just easier for you—it’s also reversible, making the product even more versatile. There is no need to tear up your entire floor if you ever want to raise a section (say, to repair a damaged board or to change the layout); you can do it without tearing up the whole floor. Unlike glue-down, however, it requires a homeowner’s commitment. It is important to remember that once something is down, it is gone forever.
Therefore, the real question you should ask yourself is not “which is better?” Instead, the question should be asked, “Which is better for you?” If you’re a hands-on homeowner who values flexibility, click-lock is the obvious choice. If you’re investing in a long-term commercial fit-out, glue-down may still have the edge.
DIY Vinyl Click Flooring UK – Step-by-Step Ease
Assembling flat-pack furniture can be daunting, but installing your own floor with click vinyl is just as simple. The following are some of the factors that make it a truly DIY-friendly project:
In Manchester, a couple installed their own bedroom floor over the weekend. Although they had never installed flooring before, the room looked like a professional had done it by Sunday evening. A click vinyl floor provides a sense of accomplishment when you walk on something you built yourself.
A unique aspect of click-lock vinyl is that, since it floats above the subfloor, it can be installed on surfaces with slight imperfections (within reason), avoiding the need to level that glue-down would require.
Professional Vinyl Flooring Installation UK – Benefits & Precision
Obviously, not everyone wants to go the DIY route since it can be pretty time-consuming. There are times when professional installation is the better option due to accuracy, speed, or simply convenience. We at Flooring Surgeons have trained fitters who can work with both click-lock and glue-down systems, giving you the flexibility to pick what’s right for you.
Professional installation isn’t just about putting planks together; it’s about craftsmanship:
A commercial or high-traffic area, such as a restaurant, office, or retail store, is where glue-down flooring really shines, as it is ideal for these environments. In this case, a permanent bond ensures that the floor won’t shift, even under constant usage. It is essential to note that professional installation ensures a floor that is designed to last for decades, not just a few years.
Choosing flooring doesn’t just mean picking a pattern; it also sets the mood for your room. With Flooring Surgeons, you will be able to choose from a wide range of luxury vinyl flooring collections in the UK that feature a wide range of colours and finishes suited to a wide range of interior styles, from minimalist flats to country homes with traditional architectural features.
It is common for competitors to stop at “matte, gloss, and textured,” but the reality is a lot richer than that. If you are looking for a soft, understated look that hides dust and fingerprints, matte finishes are the perfect choice. In the case of gloss, surfaces gain a reflective quality that can brighten darker rooms, but it needs to be cared for to avoid smudges. In addition, textured finishes can go a step further, mimicking the feel of grainy oak or cool stone, so your floor feels authentic underfoot.
The first thing I want to point out is that many suppliers miss the fact that finishes also affect how light plays across a space. There is nothing quite like a satin or semi-gloss floor to warm up a room facing north, while a matte plank with a deep, rich texture will give a larger, open room a sense of depth and character. There is so much more to your choice than aesthetics; it shapes your perception of the whole room.
When selecting your flooring, it is not just about choosing the pattern you want, but also about setting the mood for your room. You will be able to choose from a wide range of luxury vinyl flooring collections offered by Flooring Surgeons, which include a variety of colours and finishes suitable for diverse interior styles. From minimalist flats to country houses with classic architectural features, Flooring Surgeons offers a wide range of Luxury Vinyl Plank options.
Many competitors seem to stop at “matte, gloss, and textured” for their products, but the reality is much richer than that. The matte finish is the best choice for those seeking a soft, understated look that conceals dust and fingerprints without drawing attention to them. When it comes to gloss, surfaces acquire a reflective quality that can improve illumination in darker rooms, though some care must be taken to prevent smudges. Furthermore, textured finishes can take it one step further by emulating a grainy oak or a superb stone finish, so your floor will have an authentic feel when you walk on it, replicating the sensation of grainy oak or cool stone.
In fact, many suppliers overlook the fact that finishes also affect how light is reflected within a space. A satin or semi-gloss floor can instantly give a room a feeling of warmth and comfort, while a matte plank with a deep, rich texture will add depth and character to an open, larger living space, creating a sense of depth and character within the room. In addition to aesthetics, your choice influences your perception of the entire room, shaping how you see it.
Light colours aren’t just a trend—they’re a tool. Light grey and white vinyl floors add space to small rooms, reflecting natural light and expanding the perception of space. The reason Scandinavian-inspired and minimalist interiors in the UK tend to feature pale floors is that they create a clean canvas for simple, uncluttered furniture and fabrics.
Choosing white oak-effect vinyl for their narrow townhouse kitchen was a wise choice for a London family. We weren’t just left with a brighter room; we had a wider, calmer, and more cohesive one. It was possible to combine airy design with everyday practicality with waterproof SPC construction.
A detail often overlooked: pale finishes conceal scratches better than dark ones. Despite their low maintenance, light grey planks are unusually forgiving for households with children or pets.
In areas where pale shades of light open up space, dark oak and walnut vinyl floors offer a sense of groundedness. When tones are richer, they create a sense of intimacy, making the lounge, dining room, or study feel warm and welcoming. There’s something about them that evokes a sense of heritage—the look of old libraries, country houses, or grand dining halls—but with the convenience of modern High-Performance Vinyl.
Adding darker floors to interiors will create a sense of depth and sophistication, making them look more curated rather than accidental, while also beautifully framing lighter walls and furniture. When you use Flooring Surgeons’ embossed textures, you will not only be able to notice the effect – you will also be able to feel the knots and grooves beneath your fingertips, just as if you were using real timber.
One unique advantage of darker tones is that they conceal soil and everyday dirt better than pale floors, so you can go longer between cleanings without noticing your floor is getting worn. This is a practical product wrapped in the tradition of the past.
We believe that choosing a floor is not just about looks or price—it is also about your trust in the company.
