Choosing Flooring

We’re delighted to announce that our trade customers can now order Woodpecker and Vusta flooring products through us.

Wood flooring has seen a resurgence in 2016, with growing popularity for a modern look herringbone, reflecting trends for geometric pattern in the home interior.

Extremely durable, engineered wood flooring offers a practical solution for homeowners looking for a reasonably priced, easy to fit, natural-looking wood floor that copes well with the effects of temperature changes caused by central or under floor heating.

Offering a hard-wearing luxury option, timeless solid wooden floors require regular polishing every few years to protect from scratching in high traffic areas. The floors improve in appearance with age over time and are often the flooring of choice for those who suffer with allergies.

Easy to maintain bamboo flooring has many of the same properties of a solid hard wood floor, and is slightly more water-resistant. There isn’t an independent system used to rate the quality of bamboo materials, which can vary, and it’s important to buy from a reputable flooring dealer.

With designs that cleverly replicate natural wood, stone and slate, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) offers a warm underfoot, attractive long-lasting flooring solution requiring minimal maintenance.

Unlike traditional vinyl sold on rolls, luxury vinyl flooring comes in the form of tiles or planks as well as a higher price tag. For successful installation, it’s essential to prepare the substrate correctly, as well as under the right temperature conditions for a perfect finish.

We’d always recommend you hire the services of a professional floor fitter for the best results.
