The Builder Spec
Isn't Built to Last
Taylor Wimpey's standard specification is designed to meet building regulations and look presentable at handover — not to last 10 years under a family's daily use. The carpet is typically a 25–28oz twist in a neutral tone: functional, but entry-level.
Taylor Wimpey standard specification carpet — typically a 28oz twist in neutral tones
- Shows wear in high-traffic areas within 2–3 years
- Vinyl in kitchens and bathrooms scratches and peels
- Thin underlay means poor sound insulation between floors
- Standard carpet + standard underlay blocks UFH heat transfer

Showell Nurseries Has Underfloor Heating — This Matters
Air source heat pumps (ASHP) with underfloor heating to ground floor. Standard carpet and thick underlay can restrict heat transfer and void your underfloor heating manufacturer warranty. This is one of the most common and costly mistakes new-build owners make.
We only supply and fit products with a combined tog rating of 1.5 or below — the maximum recommended for UFH systems. Every product we recommend for Showell Nurseries is fully UFH-compatible.

Questions About Flooring at Showell Nurseries
Does Showell Nurseries have underfloor heating?
Yes — Taylor Wimpey's Showell Nurseries development uses air source heat pumps with underfloor heating to the ground floor. This means you need UFH-compatible flooring with a low tog rating. We only recommend and fit products that are compatible.
We're local to Chippenham — how quickly can you visit Showell Nurseries?
We're based in Chippenham, so Showell Nurseries is on our doorstep. We can typically arrange a free home visit within 2–3 days of your enquiry.
What LVT do you recommend for the kitchen at Showell Nurseries?
For Taylor Wimpey kitchens with underfloor heating, we recommend a rigid core LVT with a tog rating of 0.15 or below. We stock several ranges that are specifically rated for UFH use and look far better than the standard vinyl fitted by the builder.
Can you match the carpet colour already fitted in some rooms?
We can get very close to standard builder spec colours, but we'd always recommend upgrading to a better quality product rather than matching the builder spec. Our free home visit lets you see the difference side by side.
