Latex Screeds & Self-Levelling Compounds

We often use high-performance latex floor screeds — a blend of powder and liquid latex — to create a smooth, level surface before laying vinyl, safety flooring, or LVT.

These self-levelling compounds are ideal for commercial spaces, helping to reduce imperfections and support long-term durability.

Ply Boarding & Hardboarding

For wooden subfloors, we often use ply boarding or hardboard to create a stable and smooth surface. Ply is best for wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, while hardboard is an affordable option for carpets and vinyl in dry spaces.

Paul and his team at sussex vinyl are fantastic, friendly and so easy to work with. Workmanship was second to none would highly recommend this professional company. Paul was so helpful in the material selection and flexible to clients needs at lancing leisure centre. Look forward to working with this company again in the near future across sites. Great job.

We needed a quality vinyl floor installation for a commercial client. Paul and his team gave us the confidence they could do a quality install, plus be considerate of the client. Finished product to extend vinyl into a second room was exceptional...they even matched the pattern perfectly at the door threshold where the old and new floorings met. Service faultless from start to finish and more projects planned for the future. 10/10

Paul fitted our kitchen floor and we were so pleased with his work that we didn't hesitate to call him again when it was time to lay our bathroom floor. On both occasions his work has been excellent. His prices are very reasonable, he is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, prompt, professional, a tidy worker and takes great care to do an all round good job. I would thoroughly recommend Sussex Vinyl Flooring.
