FAQs

  • Vinyl flooring is a durable floor covering that is made of layers using different synthetic materials. It’s designed to be extremely durable and functional and has excellent water-resistant properties. 


    It has become popular in recent years due to a wide choice of finishes that give the appearance of tile or real wood floors. 


    The main benefits of vinyl flooring are:


    • Water-resistant properties (making them great for bathrooms and kitchens).
    • Hard-wearing so they require much less maintenance and can last for many years.
    • They feel cushioned, which gives them a pleasant feeling when you walk across them.
    • They’re one of the most affordable flooring types sold in the UK.

  • Lino, or linoleum, is a type of vinyl flooring. While vinyl is made from synthetic materials, lino is made from natural materials like cork dust, pine resin, or sawdust. These materials are combined with linseed oil to form linoleum. 


    In terms of the difference, both vinyl and lino have the same level of durability and resistance. Some people feel like lino is slightly softer than vinyl. 


    Both types of flooring offer good slip resistance, making them ideal for humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

  • Vinyl is one of the most versatile flooring options and can be effectively used in pretty much every room.


    Due to the fact that they’re available in different colours and can take on the appearance of other materials like stone or wood, you can have them in any room.

    Alongside our colours, we’ve got specific styles to look at.


    Our stone-effect vinyl flooring is one of our most popular, as you can get the look of stone flooring for a much cheaper price.


    Wood-effect lino flooring is another top choice as it can mimic the look of real wood while adding water-resistant properties at a more affordable cost.


    Other top styles to choose from include:


  • Vinyl floors can be cleaned with a mop and warm water for normal cleaning. Vinegar may be added for a deeper clean. For ground-in dirt or stubborn stains, a few drops of dishwasher liquid can help to lift dirt. Vinyl floors should be cleaned thoroughly, and excess water should be mopped up.
  • Our vinyl flooring comes with a cushion backing to make it comfortable underfoot, which means underlay is not necessary. Floors do have to be relatively smooth before you have your new vinyl flooring fitted. Your local store will be able to come out and expertly measure and assess your current floor.
  • Both vinyl and laminate flooring are popular choices, and there is no clear winner. While laminate flooring tends to look more realistic to the materials it emulates and is a good choice for living rooms and bedrooms, vinyl is more water-resistant and likely better suited to kitchens and bathrooms. Vinyl flooring tends to be cheaper than laminate flooring.

Stone Effect Vinyl FAQ's

Natural stone effect vinyl is a type of flooring that emulates the look of real stone flooring. The benefit here is that stone-effect vinyl is far cheaper than real stone while delivering a durable and easy-to-install flooring solution.

Vinyl flooring with a stone finish creates a natural and rustic look that brings elegance to almost any room.

Natural stone-effect vinyl flooring has many advantages over real stone and other types of flooring alternatives. 

  • Affordability

Stone-look vinyl flooring provides a lighter-weight alternative at an affordable price that is much cheaper than real stone or marble flooring.

  • Weight

Stone-effect flooring is substantially lighter than real stone and will not put undue weight or pressure on the supporting floor. 

  • Installation

Vinyl stone flooring does not require any special installation preparation or grouting. 

  • Comfort

Vinyl stone effect flooring is extremely comfortable underfoot, with cushioning and flexibility real stone cannot offer.

With a broad range of colours, styles, and finishes, stone-effect lino and stone-effect vinyl patterns can vary from subtle to intricate. Depending on the type of finish chosen, stone-effect flooring can look amazing in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, or recreational areas like conservatories.
