Loughborough has seen impressive growth in new build housing in recent years, with large-scale developments on the outskirts of town and around areas like Shelthorpe, Nanpantan Road and the expanding north Charnwood corridor. Whether you’re moving into a new build in Loughborough town itself or one of its surrounding villages, getting the flooring right is one of the most impactful decisions you’ll make. Koti Homes specialises exclusively in new build flooring, bringing expert knowledge, premium products and a fast, professional service to homeowners across Loughborough and the wider Charnwood district.
Why LVT Is the Best Choice for Your New Build in Loughborough
For new builds in Loughborough, Koti Homes strongly recommends LVT — Luxury Vinyl Tile. It outperforms both laminate and vinyl sheet on almost every measure that matters in a new home. LVT is 100% waterproof, making it safe to use in kitchens, bathrooms, en suites and utility rooms. It lasts approximately 20 years compared to just 8–12 years for laminate, and it doesn’t swell, warp, or buckle in the fluctuating humidity levels typical of brand-new properties. LVT is also highly compatible with underfloor heating — increasingly standard in Loughborough’s newest homes. Available in an extensive range of realistic wood and stone effects, it brings a high-end look without the high-end price. Low maintenance, scratch-resistant and extremely durable, LVT is the flooring of choice across kitchens, hallways, living rooms and bathrooms.

Carpets for New Builds in Loughborough
Carpet is the natural choice for bedrooms, landings and staircases in new builds across Loughborough, and Koti Homes offers a brilliant range from trusted manufacturers. Twist pile is our go-to recommendation for stairs and hallways — it handles heavy foot traffic brilliantly and is naturally pet-friendly. Saxony carpet, with its rich, deep pile, transforms bedrooms into genuinely luxurious spaces. Loop pile provides a more structured texture and holds its appearance well in busy areas. We stock carpets from leading brands including Abingdon’s Stainfree range, which carries a lifetime stain guarantee — a real selling point for families. One of the key advantages of carpet in a new build is that it can be fitted from day one: unlike LVT, it’s completely unaffected by subfloor moisture. For more detail, visit our carpet FAQ.
What About Vinyl and Laminate?
Koti Homes supplies both vinyl sheet and laminate flooring for new builds in Loughborough. Vinyl sheet is a cost-effective waterproof option, well suited to utility rooms or budget-conscious buyers, though it lacks the premium feel and thickness of LVT. Laminate offers attractive finishes and is competitively priced, but it is not waterproof — meaning it’s unsuitable for wet areas — and its typical lifespan of 8–12 years is considerably shorter than LVT. For most homeowners in Loughborough, LVT is the better long-term investment. Our team is always happy to help match the right product to your budget and your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Koti Homes fit flooring in my new build in Loughborough?
Yes — Koti Homes covers Loughborough and the wider Midlands. We specialise exclusively in new build properties and can start fitting the day you receive your keys.
How soon can flooring be fitted after moving into a new build?
LVT and carpets can be fitted very quickly after moving in. Carpets can go down from day one as they’re not affected by subfloor moisture. LVT should be fitted once the property has been lived in for a few weeks and the subfloor has had a chance to settle, though Koti will assess conditions on the day.
Why choose LVT over laminate in a new build?
LVT is 100% waterproof, lasts around 20 years, and is more stable in the conditions of a new build. Laminate is not waterproof, can swell in damp areas, and typically lasts 8–12 years. For most rooms, LVT gives better long-term value.
