Private renting takes roughly one household in five across Rushmoor, and the newer flats add a second constraint on top of that: the lease. In a flat the acoustic underlay is settled before the surface, and LVT Vinyl Click-Lock sits on one without adding height.
A durable wear layer shrugs off scratches, a waterproof core handles the odd accident, and a quick wipe keeps everything clean, ideal for homes with dogs and cats. A screed poured recently is still giving up water, and much of what stands on the former airfield land is recent. Take a reading before anything goes down; where the heating sits in the slab, the board has to be rated for a warm base too.
How Pet-Friendly flooring suits Farnborough homes
What has changed in Farnborough is the volume of apartment building: the town centre and the former airfield land have added purpose-built flats to a stock that was already semis and terraces through Empress, Fernhill and Knellwood. Where the home is leasehold, the lease sets the impact sound requirement. Against that backdrop, pet-friendly flooring is the natural fit for kitchens, hallways, living rooms and utility rooms.
Room by room in Farnborough
A quick tour through a typical Farnborough home:
New apartments in GU14: Much of what has gone up in Farnborough lately is apartments, on the town centre land and the former airfield. In a flat the lease normally sets an impact sound requirement, so the acoustic layer under LVT gets chosen before the board that sits on it.
Flat kitchens: An apartment kitchen answers to the same lease clause as the living room, which rules out dropping a hard floor straight onto the screed. SPC over an acoustic mat keeps the build-up shallow enough that the door still swings clear of the finished level.
Houses in Cove and Southwood: Step away from the new blocks and Farnborough is ordinary family housing — Cove and Southwood, Cherrywood, Fernhill — where no lease has a view on the floor. A living room there can take engineered oak chosen for how it looks rather than for what it muffles.
Bathrooms in upper-floor flats: In Farnborough’s newer blocks, water that gets past a bathroom floor arrives in somebody else’s ceiling. SPC takes up no water itself, but an open joint or a loose threshold still passes it down to the screed, so the perimeter detail decides the outcome.
