Flooring Innovation at the Core of a Landmark Retrofit

The regeneration of Muswell Hill Broadway, a former 1970s Woolworths store, into a modern mixed-use scheme is a shining example of how LVT flooring can elevate sustainable retrofit projects. Working alongside long-standing partners Crawford Partnership, Impervia supplied its premium engineered Luxury Vinal flooring to meet both the technical and aesthetic demands of the residential apartments above a new Aldi supermarket.

Why Impervia Was the Flooring of Choice

For a retrofit project with high sustainability goals, flooring had to be more than beautiful—it had to perform. Impervia was chosen for its:

Sustainable construction – low-VOC, phthalate-free, and built to last

Rigid core stability – ideal for refurbished buildings with subfloor irregularities

Click-lock installation – fast, adhesive-free fitting reduced installation time and disruption

Durability – water-resistant and highly wear-resistant, perfect for high-traffic apartments

Natural aesthetic – the Bare Timber and French Grey finishes added warmth and elegance
