Be Inspired – Vinyl Floor

On Flooring Hut’s shiny new website, we have an inspiration page. Last week, we looked at luxury vinyl tile inspiration. This week, we will look at some sheet vinyl floor inspiration. The difference is that vinyl floor comes in rolls that need to be cut and stuck down, whereas luxury vinyl tiles come in planks that can be clicked together.

Wood Effect Vinyl Floor

Vinyl manufacturers can mimic different wood grains on their vinyl products. At the moment, oak effect is extremely popular. Oak offers characterful knots and grain patterns to create a really eye-catching floor. The products we are recommending these days include the Grey-Tex range by Abingdon SoftStep, the Amazon range also by Abingdon SoftStep, the Designatex range by Polyflor, and the Secura range also by Polyflor.

By choosing oak effect vinyl flooring, you will create a beautiful floor for your home. Remember to ask a professional to install it, as laying vinyl sheets can be tricky.

Stone Effect Vinyl Floor

Beige, yellow, and brown ‘earthy-looking’ stones are trendy at the moment. However, timeless dark stones, like slate effect, will also always be in demand, as they produce a classic finish. The stone effect vinyl floors we love at the minute includes the Cuba range by Abingdon SoftStep, the Amazon range also by Abingdon SoftStep, the Designatex range by Polyflor, and the Secura range also by Polyflor.

Stone floors offer a stylish finish. However, real stone floors are heavy, prone to cracking, in need of regular maintenance, and they can be expensive. However, vinyl sheets designed to mimic stone offers all that style with none of the drawbacks. Result!

Parquet Effect Vinyl Floor

This distinctive flooring originates from France and involves laying wooden blocks in pattern to create your floor. Parquet can offer a traditional, yet contemporary twist to any home. Ranges we rate include Secura by Polyflor and Designatex by Polyflor. Real parquet can be expensive in terms of product and labour cost, but with parquet effect vinyl you get all that elegance for a fraction of the cost!

Conclusion

There you have it, some of our favourite luxury vinyl (sheet vinyl) recommendations, exploring both colours and recommended manufacturers. Hopefully, we offered some useful advice to you. Happy Flooring!
