Best Flooring Options for Every Room

Best Flooring Options for Every Room

The right floor depends on the room, how you use it and whether you have underfloor heating. Here is a quick guide to the options we fit most often.

Engineered wood

Real wood on top with a stable core underneath, engineered boards cope with central heating better than solid wood and work with most underfloor heating. They suit living rooms, hallways and bedrooms.

Luxury vinyl tiles and planks

Waterproof, warm underfoot and hard-wearing, luxury vinyl is a great choice for kitchens, bathrooms and busy family homes. Modern designs closely copy wood and stone.

Porcelain and stone tiles

Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and open-plan spaces that lead to the garden. Tiles are very durable and conduct underfloor heating well.

Carpet

Carpet still makes sense in bedrooms and on stairs, where warmth and quiet matter. Choose a good underlay for comfort and longer wear.

Do not forget the subfloor

Every floor is only as good as what is under it. We check and level the subfloor, fix loose boards and add insulation or moisture barriers where needed, so the new floor lasts.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Tiles, luxury vinyl and most engineered wood work well. Solid wood and thick carpet are less efficient. We will check the manufacturer's guidance for your choice.

Sometimes, but we usually lift the old covering to check and level the subfloor first. It gives a better, longer-lasting result.

Most rooms take one to two days. Larger areas or floors that need levelling first take longer.
