Buying Guide: How to Measure & Order

Measure the length of your room and add 10% for cutting wastage and pattern matching. The roll width is shown in the variant selector — choose a width that avoids joins in the main floor area if possible. For rooms wider than one roll, joins can be made at natural design break points. When ordering, simply enter the required length at checkout. Our team can assist with layout planning for large or irregular rooms.

Installation & Care

Install: Loose-lay or glue-down depending on application. Loose-lay is appropriate for most residential and light commercial applications. Ensure the subfloor is clean, flat, and dry. Score and snap or cut with scissors/vinyl cutter. Use seam sealer at joins in wet areas.

Care: Sweep or vacuum regularly. Mop with a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive cleaners which can dull the wear layer. Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent indentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is vinyl flooring suitable for a bathroom?

Yes — vinyl is one of the most popular bathroom flooring choices precisely because it is 100% waterproof. It will not warp, swell, or delaminate in wet bathroom conditions.

Can vinyl flooring be used over underfloor heating?

Yes. Vinyl flooring is compatible with both electric and hydronic underfloor heating systems. Ensure the floor surface temperature does not exceed 27°C for optimal vinyl performance.

How does vinyl flooring compare to laminate?

Vinyl flooring is 100% waterproof and can be used in wet rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms — laminate is not waterproof and is vulnerable to moisture damage. Vinyl is also softer underfoot and quieter.
