Browse CollectionsBathroom flooring has to live with water and stay safe underfoot. Waterproof LVT and porcelain tiles are the go-to choices, giving you a beautiful wood or stone look that handles steam, splashes and humidity without warping.
Engineered oak in mid-tones is the bestseller across Northampton’s family suburbs in Kingsthorpe, Abington and Duston. LVT vinyl dominates kitchens and bathrooms, while laminate remains popular for bedrooms and the town’s significant rental market.
LVT is warm, quiet and slip-resistant, while porcelain tiles are dense, non-porous and effortless to clean, ideal for family bathrooms and en-suites. A tall room with hard walls and a hard floor returns more of what is said in it, and the effect is strongest in a through room opened front to back. Rugs, curtains and soft furniture manage it easily — but it is worth knowing beforehand.
Northampton combines Victorian and Edwardian terraces reflecting its shoe-making heritage with substantial family homes in Abington, Kingsthorpe and Duston, plus extensive modern developments at Upton, Wootton and the rapidly expanding Northampton South. The town’s position on the M1, fast trains to London Euston and major Brackmills business park drive consistent commuter and family demand.
From the orders we deliver across Northampton, this is where each floor tends to go:
Living Rooms: Engineered oak in warm mid-tones is the standard for Northampton family homes. For new-builds at Upton, Wootton and Northampton South, wide planks (170mm+) complement the open-plan architecture.
Kitchens: LVT vinyl is a practical pick for Northampton kitchens: the vinyl does not swell or lift when it gets wet, it stays warm with underfloor heating, and it is realistic enough to flow into adjoining living areas.
Hallways: Engineered oak in consistent warm tones lets one floor continue from room to room in modern Northampton new-builds.
Rental Properties: Northampton’s active buy-to-let and HMO market demands durable, easy-clean flooring. Laminate and LVT handle tenant turnover cost-effectively across multiple rooms.
