How do I order samples?
Just tell us what you need and we’ll provide the samples. Don’t worry if you don’t have a specific product in mind; let us know whatever you can about the job and we’ll contact you with some ideas to narrow things down.
What is laminate flooring?
Luxury wood-effect vinyl products, like Amtico, like Amtico, are often referred to incorrectly as "laminate" by estate agents, interiors magazines and property programmes. True laminate flooring is increasingly uncommon due its problematic nature and it’s not something we’re usually willing to work with because we feel the results are, all too often, disappointing.
What is vinyl sheet / vinyl on a roll?
Vinyl flooring offers outstanding value, and can be fitted quickly with the minimum of disruption. Durable and easy-care, it's a practical choice for kitchens, bathrooms, playrooms and utility areas. There’s a wealth of choice, with stone, tile or wood effects, geometric or abstract patterns, and plain colours too. If you’re looking for safety floor (vinyl with a high slip-resistance rating) for special care bathrooms or elsewhere in the house, you’ll be pleased to learn that R10 rated slip resistant domestic vinyl is available in a wide range of styles to provide a more homely feel against common orgardinal safety flooring.
What is luxury vinyl?
Luxury vinyl comes in "tiles" or "planks" and offers a superior finish. The best known brands are Amtico and Karndean.
Can you fit carpet tiles?
We most certainly can. Carpet tiles will always be a popular choice for offices, reception areas and class rooms so we work with them regularly.
Can you do my wet room floor?
Wet rooms floors have become something of a speciality for us and popularity over the last decade has soared, we are more than comfortable with all aspectects of graded level access floors.
Do I need underlay?
In the home of course it doesn’t just prolong the life of the carpet, underlay also provides thermal insulation and can reduce noise, transforming echoey corridoors, and absorbing noise from upstairs rooms or neighbouring flats. There is a surprising amount of choice, most of which have a high recycled material content that benefit’s the environment. Our standard 8mm underlay is also fully recycleable giving you pece of mind that it wont in the end go to landfill.
Can you install safety flooring?
Safety flooring can be a legal requirement for some settings, but often it’s just a matter of common sense. We have a wealth of experience working with safety flooring, and extensive knowledge of the products available for you to choose from. The materials available have come on leaps and bounds in recent years so you no longer have to compromise on aesthetics in the name of slip-resistance. There are now standards-compliant materials with realistic wood-grain and stone effects, which make a practical and attractive choice for jobs where looks matter – such as in care homes, restaurants and bars – and may be more ‘sympathetic’ in period buildings.
