6. What’s the best flooring option for high-traffic areas?
High-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms, require durable flooring. Options like Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT flooring) and wooden flooring are excellent choices. LVT floors from Amtico include a wear-layer which protects against scuffs and scratches while improving slip resistance, Their Signature collection has the thickest wear layer and comes with a lifetime warranty.
7. Can I install my flooring myself, or should I hire a professional?
We recommend all our floorings are installed by a professional fitter. Our installers understand the intricacies of each material and how to achieve perfection. This avoids any costly mistakes and ensures your new flooring looks it’s best. Chat to our team to discuss this further.
8. What flooring options are pet friendly?
Stain resistant flooring that is resistant to scratches and easy to clean is perfect for pet-owners. LVT flooring is our recommendation. Our blog ‘How to Choose the Best Floor for Dog Owners’ should provide more information.
9. Can I install underfloor heating at the same time as my flooring?
Yes. We install low voltage, electric carbon film matting which you can safely install under a variety of flooring types. Most of our flooring options ensure a good heat transfer when combining with underfloor heating, but chat to us to check your chosen flooring is compatible.
