Overview

The Signature approach.

SPC (Stone Polymer Composite) and luxury vinyl plank flooring have transformed the mid-market and commercial retail floor space. Signature supplies and installs 100% waterproof SPC and glue-down commercial LVT — realistic wood and stone visuals, click-lock or permanent installation, and a wear layer matched to the traffic.

SPC is our go-to specification for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and rental properties. It is fully waterproof, dent-resistant, dimensionally stable, and can be installed over most sound existing surfaces including tile, screed and even short-pile carpet with the correct underlay.

Luxury vinyl (LVT) is our specification for retail, restaurants and boutique commercial where a specific visual is wanted and heavy foot traffic is a certainty. Glue-down commercial LVT with 0.55mm+ wear layers regularly outlives the retail fit-out around it.

We install to manufacturer spec — moisture-tested sub-floors, expansion gaps set correctly, threshold and skirting details finished cleanly. Cheap installs make premium floors look cheap; done properly, SPC and LVT deliver a genuinely premium result at a mid-market price.

Why Signature

Built to a spec, not to a price.

Manufacturer-warranty install

Every install respects the manufacturer's spec — acclimatisation, sub-floor moisture, expansion gaps — so the warranty stands.

Sub-floor honesty

We call out defective substrates upfront and price the remedial work. No covering problems in and hoping.

Product range

Solid hardwood, engineered timber, SPC and LVT — matched to the room's traffic, moisture and aesthetic brief.

Precision cutting

Skilled installers with mitre and multi-tool experience — around service pipes, fireplaces, staircases and cabinetry.

Refurbishment specialists

Sanding, staining and re-sealing of existing hardwood floors — a service that outlasts most 'replace it' quotes.

Site-clean workmanship

Dust-extraction sanders, protective run-off floors and site vacuuming — you shouldn't spend a week cleaning after we leave.

Our process

From consult to handover.

01

Site inspection

Moisture readings, sub-floor flatness assessment, and identification of existing coverings and their bonding condition.

02

Substrate preparation

Levelling compounds, moisture barriers, acoustic underlays and, where required, floor grinding — everything the manufacturer's warranty depends on.

03

Material acclimatisation

Wood and premium vinyl products acclimatise on-site for 48–72 hours before installation. A crucial step most contractors skip.

04

Installation

Glue-down or click-lock installation to manufacturer spec, with cut lines and expansion gaps set to the room's proportions.

05

Skirting & trims

New or refitted skirting, threshold strips, expansion covers and staircase nosings, all colour-matched to the floor.

06

Sanding, sealing & handover

For solid timber — sanding, staining and multi-coat sealing. For factory-finished floors — protective post-install film and a care manual.

Materials & specification

What we work with.

Materials are specified for service life, not initial capital cost. Every quote lists brands, grades and quantities so you can see exactly what your project is built from.

Solid hardwood

European oak, iroko, teak and merbau in 18–22mm thicknesses, tongue-and-groove or click-jointed, unfinished or pre-finished.

Engineered timber

3mm+ hardwood wear layer over ply substrates. Dimensionally stable, suitable for underfloor heating, and available in wide-plank formats.

Luxury vinyl (LVT)

Glue-down or click-lock LVT with 0.3–0.7mm wear layers — realistic wood and stone visuals, quiet underfoot.

SPC rigid core

Stone Polymer Composite planks — 100% waterproof, dent resistant, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and commercial retail.

Underlays & barriers

IXPE and cork acoustic underlays, DPM moisture barriers, and PU adhesives for permanent glue-down installations.

Finishes

Hard-wax oils, polyurethane sealers and factory-applied UV-cured coatings — matched to traffic level and desired sheen.

Pricing guidance

Honest ranges, not guesses.

Flooring cost varies heavily with product tier. The following ranges are supply-and-install for a typical suburban residential room with reasonable access.

Solid hardwood

Supply and install, unfinished then sanded, stained and sealed.

USD 85 – 180 / m²

Engineered timber

Pre-finished European oak in wide plank formats.

USD 60 – 130 / m²

SPC rigid core

Click-lock waterproof plank in wood or stone visuals.

USD 30 – 65 / m²

Luxury vinyl (LVT)

Glue-down commercial-grade LVT with 0.55mm+ wear layer.

USD 35 – 80 / m²

Cost factors

  • ◆Product tier and thickness of wear layer
  • ◆Sub-floor preparation and levelling required
  • ◆Room complexity, cuts and skirting work
  • ◆Whether existing floor coverings must be lifted and disposed of
  • ◆Site access — high-rise buildings, weekend-only works, occupied spaces

Where the sub-floor is compromised — cracks, damp, unevenness — we recommend the remedial work upfront. Skipping it voids the manufacturer's warranty and shortens the floor's life by years.

Maintenance & aftercare

Built to last, cared for to prove it.

Wood floors

Dust mop weekly, damp mop with a wood-safe cleaner monthly, and refresh with a hard-wax oil coat every 3–5 years depending on wear.

SPC & LVT

Sweep, damp mop, avoid soaking. Any spill wipes off — the surface is impervious. No re-coating required.

Furniture protection

Felt pads on chairs, larger area rugs at entrances and a strict no-stiletto policy on solid timber for maximum aesthetic life.

Refurbishment cycle

Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered timber can typically be refinished once or twice.

In most cases yes — either by product matching or by installing a thoughtful transition strip. We advise on the honest option at survey.
