Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl Cushion flooring or linoleum is the flooring of choice for wet areas in the home, such as the bathroom or kitchen. Resistant to water vinyl cushion flooring is easy to wipe clean when there are spillages. Vinyl cushion flooring is available in a huge choice of colours and styles, from authentic rustic looking tiles and wooden flooring designs, to modern abstract patterns.

Vinyl cushion flooring comes rolled up like a carpet, usually available in multiple widths (2, 3, or 4 metres), and is fitted in a similar way to a carpet. However no underlay is used so when fitting vinyl cushion flooring the subfloor must be flat and free from indentations or bumps, as these will show through the vinyl. To overcome this hardboard or a screed can be used to level the subfloor before installation of the vinyl.

Domestic vinyl is cushioned to add a little comfort underfoot, hence the well known name vinyl cushion flooring, and the popular brand Cushionflor. Commercial grade vinyl has limited cushion but has a thicker top layer, or wear-layer, the durable top layer that takes the wear.
Laminate Flooring

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring gives a stylish finish to the modern home and modern way of living. Being easy to maintain a good quality laminate flooring can keep it’s appearance for many years. Although laminate flooring is easy to maintain, it does need regular cleaning to keep free of dust and dirt, and liquid spillages must always be avoided on laminate flooring.

Quality of laminate flooring varies significantly as does price. Many very cheap laminate floorings do not wear very well over time, and defeats the object if you are thinking of switching from carpets to laminate flooring. Therefore it’s important to investigate the quality of the laminate flooring – not just the price.

For quality assurance it’s best to stick to the branded laminate floorings – two of the leading brands are Quick-Step Uniclic and Balterio. These manufactures put wear guarantees up to 25 years on their laminate flooring, and use the best materials in manufacturing.

Laminate flooring varies in thickness – starting from 6mm and go up to 10mm. The thickness of the laminate flooring makes a big difference to its lifetime. We recommend looking at 7mm and above for quality. 8mm and 9mm laminate flooring usually offers superior durability and an extended lifetime.
