LVT Flooring Installation at The Crest, Sobha Hartland, Dubai

Project Overview

On 4 September 2026, the Nova Floor team finished an LVT installation inside an apartment at The Crest, Sobha Hartland. The client wanted a warm, wood look floor that could handle daily family use in the kitchen and open living space, without the upkeep that real hardwood needs in Dubai’s climate. LVT flooring was the clear choice. It gives the look of natural oak planks while staying stable through heat, humidity, and heavy foot traffic.

Preparing the Space

Before any planks went down, the team checked the sub-floor across the apartment for level and moisture. Kitchens and open living areas both need a flat, dry base, since any dip or damp patch under LVT can show up as an uneven joint later. Once the sub-floor passed inspection, the crew laid an underlayment to cushion the floor underfoot and reduce sound transfer between floors, which matters in a high-rise building like The Crest.

Installing the Wood Look LVT

The chosen planks carry a soft grey-beige oak finish, the kind of neutral wood tone that suits almost any furniture style. Working room by room, the installers fitted the planks tightly along the kitchen cabinetry and around the built-in oven, fridge, and hob, cutting each piece to sit flush against the skirting. In the open living and dining zone, the planks were laid in a staggered pattern for a natural, non-repeating look, running the full width of the room out toward the balcony doors.

Handling the Kitchen Details

Kitchens are usually the trickiest part of any flooring job because of the cabinets, appliances, and corners involved. The Nova Floor crew took extra care around the fridge and cooking area, making sure each cut plank met the base of the cabinetry cleanly with no visible gaps. The result is a smooth, continuous floor that looks like it was built around the kitchen rather than laid after it.

The Final Result

By the end of the day, the whole apartment had a seamless wood look floor connecting the kitchen, living room, and dining area. The finish reflects the natural light from the apartment’s large windows, and the planks are fully waterproof, which gives the client peace of mind around the kitchen sink and any spills. For a home in a fast growing community like Sobha Hartland, this kind of durable, low maintenance flooring is exactly what busy households need.

Why LVT Worked for This Home

LVT flooring suits Dubai apartments because it resists moisture, scratches, and daily wear far better than laminate or real wood, while still giving that warm, natural look homeowners want. This project at The Crest is a good example of how the right flooring choice can tie an entire home together, from the kitchen to the living room, in one continuous, easy to maintain surface.
