Looking for heritage flooring in Birmingham or period-style flooring near you? Flooring Wise supplies and fits Karndean’s Heritage Collection across the city, bringing the look of classic Victorian and geometric tiles to hallways, kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces.
Heritage flooring gives you the charm of traditional patterned tiles with none of the drawbacks. It’s warmer and quieter underfoot than real stone or ceramic, waterproof, hard-wearing, and far kinder on your feet and your budget. Whether you’re restoring a period Birmingham property or adding character to a modern home, we’ll help you get the pattern right and fit it beautifully.
See the designs in our Birmingham showroom, or we’ll bring samples to you with a free measure.
Heritage flooring recreates the decorative tile floors found in Victorian and Edwardian homes, using modern luxury vinyl tile (LVT) instead of real stone or ceramic. The patterns are printed and cut into individual pieces, then laid to form geometric designs, borders and monochrome or colourful layouts, just like the encaustic and geometric tiles of the period.
The difference is in how it feels and performs. Real Victorian tiles are cold, hard, noisy and expensive to lay. Heritage LVT gives you the same authentic look while being warm underfoot, comfortable to stand on, fully waterproof and much simpler to fit and maintain. It’s the traditional look, made practical for everyday living.
This is where heritage flooring lives or dies. A geometric floor is only as good as the precision it’s laid with. Every tile and border has to align perfectly, because a small error at one end repeats and grows across the whole floor.
Our own in-house fitters set out the pattern carefully before laying a single piece, working from the centre or a key sightline so the design sits square and balanced in the room. Borders are mitred neatly at the corners, and the whole floor is planned around doorways and features so the pattern flows properly. It’s meticulous work, and it’s exactly the kind of job you don’t want left to a sub-contractor.
We keep every project clear and straightforward from first visit to finished floor.
We visit, measure the room, check the subfloor, and talk through patterns and borders. You get a written, no-obligation quote.
Browse the Heritage Collection in our showroom or from samples at home. We'll help you settle on a pattern, colour and border.
We prepare a smooth subfloor and set out the pattern precisely before fitting. This planning is what makes the finished floor look right.
Our own fitters lay the design, then leave the room clean and ready to use, with simple care advice.
Heritage flooring costs more to fit than plain flooring, and that’s down to the work involved rather than just the material. The price depends on the design and how intricate it is, whether you add borders, the room size, subfloor preparation, and the setting-out and precision fitting the pattern requires. A simple layout costs less than an elaborate geometric design with a bordered surround.
Because every room and pattern is different, we provide a free measure and a detailed written quote rather than a headline square-metre rate, so you get an accurate figure for the design you want.
The beauty of heritage flooring is in the pattern, and there's a design for every kind of home.
The classic Victorian hallway look. Timeless, striking, and equally at home in a period property or a contemporary space.
Subtle greys, blacks and whites in geometric layouts. A softer, modern take on the traditional style.
Warmer tones and richer patterns for those who want character and a real focal point.
Designs that echo classic encaustic and quarry tiles, ideal for restoring period authenticity.
A patterned border framing a plainer centre, or defining a hallway runner. Borders are one of the details that make heritage flooring look genuinely bespoke.
Not sure which pattern suits your room? We'll show you samples and help you picture it in your space.
Carpet prices vary depending on the fibre (wool costs more than polypropylene), the pile density, room size, underlay, and whether old flooring needs removing first. Because every home is different, we provide a free measure and a detailed written quote rather than a fixed price list, so the figure you get is accurate for your rooms.

The traditional home for geometric floors, and still the most popular. A patterned hallway makes a striking first impression and copes brilliantly with muddy shoes and daily traffic.
Fully waterproof and easy to clean, with the warmth and comfort that real tiles can't offer while you're standing and cooking.
Waterproof, warm and slip-considered, heritage LVT brings pattern and character to smaller rooms where it really stands out.
For a bold, characterful floor that anchors the whole room.
Where you want the authentic Victorian look but need a floor that works for modern life.
