            What Should I Look For When Buying Flooring?

            For many homeowners, durability, maintenance, and value for money are key factors when buying flooring for any room of the home. We also recommend paying particular attention to the look you choose, as floors are often a common feature that span changing decors and trends.

              What Is The Lowest Maintenance Flooring?

              Maintenance varies depending on the room. Wipe-clean flooring is great in a kitchen prone to spills, while waterproof styles work best in damp rooms.

            Finesse The Format

            • Chevron

              Instantly eye catching, the angled design of chevron creates variation in tone and grain, for a crafted look that draws the eye. 
            • Herringbone

              This flooring can be fitted in multiple patterns, including a classic chevron shape. It can also recreate the look of classic parquet for less.
            • Plank

              Fitted in a linear format, plank flooring is the most common format making it a long-term investment for a floor that transcends trends when changing decor.
            • Tile

              Easier to fit than ceramic tiles, tile flooring can be laid without grout, which means easier cleaning and less maintenance over time.
