Vinyl Parquet Flooring to Keep your Eyes Interested!

We’ve established (several times over, in fact) that vinyl flooring is the best choice for the bathroom. It’s durable, it’s moisture-resistant, and our vinyl floor tiles are self-adhesive, which makes them super-easy to lay! Vinyl flooring is simply the most practical, flexible flooring out there, and it’s suitable for those high-risk environments that are too much for other floor types.

But let’s forget about practicality for a moment and have a little think about design. Vinyl may be an inexpensive, artificial option, but that doesn’t mean it can’t look stylish! Just take a look at this brilliant vinyl parquet flooring; the wood-effect design is a subtle yet arresting take on parquet flooring, and we think that a decorative vinyl parquet looks just as lovely as a solid wood one!

Still, if the vinyl parquet flooring isn’t your bag, don’t panic – vinyl tiles lend themselves to all kinds of other attractive designs as well, and just because the vinyl parquet is our favourite doesn’t mean it has to be yours as well! We’ve got a wide range of groovy styles just waiting to be discovered, so no matter what you want from your bathroom floor, rest assured that Floormaker can make it happen. 

Great Styles for Your Bathroom

 

When it comes to Bathrooms, vinyl is the absolute best option without a doubt. This flooring was created for bathrooms where spillages and moisture is unavoidable. You need a strong, robust floor that can handle moisture pressure and foot traffic and vinyl can do all of that and more. It’s even pretty! 

At Floormaker, we ensure that we have a wide range of vinyl products for you and all our customers to choose from so there’s something for everyone. Whether you want something subtle yet beautiful or you’re looking to jazz your bathrooms up a bit, you can! The World is your oyster and Floormaker are here to help as best they can. 

But why are Vinyl Tiles so great for Bathrooms? Well the fact that they’re practically indestructible helps. They’re incredibly well made and very high quality tiles. They are water and moisture resistant, meaning splashes and moisture in the floor won’t make these tiles buckle and you’ll have a flat, smooth surface that lasts. Many Vinyl tiles also have a clear seal on top of their pattern so they won’t be worn down easily by everyday damages, scratches or dents. It will take years and years for you to get through these tiles. They’re amazing!

Vinyl tiles come in an array of shades, shapes, patterns and sizes so you’re sure to find something you like. If you need any help whatsoever with your tiles, don’t hesitate to give us a ring on 08444 889 177 and we’ll see how we can help.

 

Can't Afford Marble? Try Our Marble Effect Tiles

Marble flooring is a magnificent choice, for sure, but such a classy, refined product comes at a pretty steep price. There’s a reason why so many fancy hotels have marble flooring in the reception – it’s because people associate marble with extreme luxury, and if the first thing they see upon entering a hotel is a marble floor, they’re sure to think ‘wow, this place is posh!’

That’s great if you’re rich enough to run  a five-star hotel, but it’s not such good news for the average cash-strapped homeowner. We’d all love a bit of marble in our living rooms, but the fact of the matter is that marble slabs are way out of most people’s price range. That’s why products like our marble effect tiles exist – these self-adhesive vinyl tiles are just as affordable and practical as anything else in our Vinyl section, but their gorgeous marble-style veneer ensures that they’re an altogether classier proposition than the bog standard vinyl floor.

So if you’re interested in a magnificent marble floor for your home, self-adhesive vinyl flooring means that it won’t cost you a king’s ransom. You’ll feel like you’re living in the Taj Mahal!

Laying Vinyl Flooring is Easier when it's Self-Adhesive!

Blue Diamond Self-Adhesive Vinyl

One advantage of vinyl flooring – besides its durability, water resistance, and low price – is how easy it is to install. Sure, laminate flooring doesn’t exactly require you to be an expert, but vinyl tiles are simpler even than that, especially when you buy self-adhesive vinyl tiles from Floormaker.

Many DIY suppliers sell vinyl in sheets, which can be a bit of a pain – you have to cut long strips of vinyl, and it’s easy to get it wrong, in which case you just have to throw away the whole strip and start over. Laying vinyl flooring is a lot easier when it’s in the form of self-adhesive vinyl tiles, because there’s very little fiddling about required. Just peel off the paper and stick those tiles down!

The one potential pitfall arrives at the edges of the room. If you haven’t prepared beforehand, you can find that there’s a small gap between your vinyl and the wall – not big enough for another tile, but big enough to look a bit rubbish. You could just cut off a thin strip  of tile to fill the gap, but the end result will look far more professional if you plan ahead, measure the distance from wall to wall, and start laying the tiles from a more sensible point. You may find that gaps are unavoidable, but try to arrange the tiles so that the gap on either side is roughly equal to half a tile. That way, you can just cut a tile in half and use the two halves to finish off the row – much neater!

We at Floormaker pride ourselves on our user-friendly flooring products, and our self-adhesive vinyl tiles might just be the most user-friendly of all. We’ve got loads of great vinyl designs to choose from, so head over to our Vinyl section now and see which one suits you best!

Vinyl Floor Tiles 101: Vinyl Floor Tiles Explained

Vinyl floor tiles are a practical and attractive flooring option for any area of your home. As they are so simple to produce and lay they are available in a huge assortment of styles and finishes, meaning that you can get the look you want for your room easily and cost-effectively. This article will give you a brief grounding in everything you need to know about vinyl floor tiles, from how they are made to how they are laid.

Plain vinyl floor tiles are made from solid, compressed sheets of PVC and fillers. These are then turned into your familiar vinyl tiles. At the final stage coloured chips can be added to create a marbled effect on the tile’s surface.

Patterned vinyl floor tiles are produced just like plain vinyl floor tiles, except the pattern of your choice is printed onto the underside of a clear layer which is then laminated onto a plain PVC backing. This clear layer ensures that the pattern is protected from any damage.

Textured and embossed vinyl floor tiles are produced in exactly the same way but are then placed in a press which creates a textured pattern on the tile. There are various kinds of presses which allow the manufacturers to create different kinds of textured tile. This means that vinyl tiles can have a more authentic feel, and can give the impression of a more natural flooring material like parquet, bricksor ceramic tiles.

  

Laying vinyl floor tiles is even easier than the process of making them! Many vinyl floor tiles are self-adhesive and can be laid in a matter of minutes, especially if you are DIY proficient. To lay your self-adhesive floor tiles you will need:

  • A clean and clear floor surface
  • A sharp utility or pen knife
  • A vinyl tile roller or a rolling pin
  • A pencil
  • A tape measure

Once you have measured out where your tiles are going to be placed you can start applying your self-adhesive vinyl tiles to your floor surface. Be sure to start from the centre of the room and work outwards, in a downwards triangular shape to avoid ending up with mismatched tiles in the centre of the floor. Fill out each triangular quarter of the room like this, then cutting the tiles to fit using your utility knife when you reach a wall. Once you have affixed all the tiles, finish by going over them with a vinyl tile roller or a rolling pin. It’s as easy as that!

And there you go! A great-value, good-looking, easy to fit vinyl tile floor! Of course if you don’t feel confident about fitting your vinyl floor tiles yourself, you can always get in touch with a professional who will be able to lay them quickly and easily for you.

As well as being cost-effective and easy to install vinyl floor tiles are also a great way to quickly renovate and update your room. They are available in all sorts of natural-looking and patterned styles and finish which means that you can give your home an instant update with hardly any fuss whatsoever!
