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.

    • Brown

    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.

Water Reistant Vinyl FAQ's

People often use the terms interchangeably, but there’s a big difference between water-resistant and waterproof vinyl flooring. Water-resistant floors are designed to withstand moisture and light surface spills but can get damaged if submerged in water for a long period. In contrast, waterproof vinyl floors have a completely impermeable core that prevents any water from passing through, even when submerged. Most vinyl flooring is water-resistant.
Most modern vinyl floors are highly water-resistant by nature. The materials used to manufacture vinyl planks and tiles have moisture-blocking properties that prevent liquids from being absorbed. However, the precise level of water resistance can vary by product and construction. You can be sure that our luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and rigid core vinyl flooring are highly water-resistant

Here are some of the benefits of choosing our water-resistant vinyl flooring for your home:

  • Protection against moisture damage and staining from spills.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.
  • Hard-wearing and durable, designed to last for years.
  • Realistic wood, stone, or tile looks.
  • Comfortable underfoot with warmth and cushioning.
  • Cost-effective alternative to expensive natural materials.

We recommend water-resistant vinyl for any room that may be exposed to moisture, including:

  • Bathrooms and ensuites
  • Kitchens
  • Dining rooms
  • Utility rooms and laundry areas
  • Basements and cellars
  • Entry hallways

Even in low-moisture rooms, like living rooms and bedrooms, water-resistant vinyl can provide complete peace of mind.
