The range of floor coverings on the market is vast and comprises many types, some of which are better suited to some uses than others. I can supply and fit any of the following from a large range and give you free advice.
Carpets… These take many forms and can be used in domestic or commercial environments such as hotels, offices or care homes where an impervious backing will be required. They can be wool or synthetic fibre, loop, twist or velvet pile with a variety of backings and in a variety of qualities.
Vinyl… Vinyls are ideally suited to kitchens and bathrooms but are produced in a variety of qualities which means that they are suitable for every room in the home and increasingly get used in living areas. Some are also suitable for commercial use however the solid vinyls are better suited to this.
Safety Flooring… This is a solid vinyl with a slip reducing surface treatment suitable for commercial kitchens, care homes and wet rooms and any area which requires hard wearing washable flooring. It can be used in conjunction with a former allowing it to be coved up the wall to form a vinyl skirting.
Linoleum… This is a natural product made basically from cork and linseed oil and it is suitable for domestic and commercial use. It is available in tile form or in sheet form and is both quiet and comfortable underfoot.
Luxury Vinyl Tiles… These are available in many different qualities. The best of which are exceptionally hardwearing and they come in a variety of different sizes and an almost limitless variety of patterns with feature strips, insets and borders. They are made to resemble marble, slate, granite, wood, ceramics, and are more user friendly and require less maintenance than the real thing. In the event that they sustain damage they are by comparison easy to fix. The better known manufacturers are Karndean, Amtico and Polyfloor.
Natural Materials… Sisal, Jute, Coir, and Seagrass woven into a fabric with a latex back are very open weave and tend to be difficult to keep clean. They are also affected by humidity and require to be adhesive fixed and for that reason their suitability has to be considered carefully.
