choosing a vinyl floor

We will help you make the right choice.

Vinyl is a very versatile choice for any floor. You can emulate the look and texture of all kinds of materials from wood to slate, metallic to marble. Its durability and anti-bacterial properties make vinyl a particularly good choice for animal lovers and busy households.

Vinyl is best fitted professionally because it can’t be stretched. If you make a mistake and cut too much, the whole piece is ruined. It’s very important to prepare your surface properly and cut accurately around awkward obstacles like loos, which requires fitting experience and the right tools for the job.

Flexible tiles can be folded to a certain extent without breaking, which makes fitting easier than rigid tiles. As with any type of vinyl floor, the end result will depend upon the preparation of the subfloor and the professionalism of the fitter.

You can lay vinyl on wood or concrete, as long as it is a smooth, flat surface free from dirt and dust. Any imperfections underneath will be seen in the final finish. Vinyl sheet flooring is normally laid loose but if the floor area is large it’s a good idea to stick the vinyl down.

Fitting methods vary as some planks have an adhesive backing, while others need an adhesive applied.

If you’re using tiles, try creating a border or design in the middle of the floor. If you’ve chosen sheet vinyl, almost any kind of design can be created.
