Comments (41)Hi Gabby - yes I noticed that as well re the notifications!! Ridiculous! Maybe there is something in settings that stops that otherwise I will just have to unfollow everyone, urgh. Whats the name of the one you liked from the samples? There was some nice Karndean BUT they were well out of our price range so it always depends on your budget of course. We wanted a warm but neutral floor and this one looks both warm and cool sometimes. Originally I wanted a rich warm floor to balance out the grey but the orange tones clashed with the units and made them look too blue/retro so we decided to go with this one instead....See Morehow to choose colour of LVT flooring
Comments (37)Bonkers… aaaarrrggghhh! We don't know what to say, Tani. Not acceptable but this trade of ours is poor at this sort of thing. Mind you, you do get them FOC. Paint… there's another story. Have to pay £5+ for a weeny sample pot. Delays are flippin' annoying but much better to make sure you are certain about your choice. We don't have a display unit in our showroom (drat!) otherwise we'd suggest you come and have a look whilst sipping on one of our exceptionally decent coffees....See MoreCost to lay 70 sq mt vinyl planks
Comments (2)Hello Helen, That's a very good question and I can certainly help with guiding you on costings. The Expona Design range from Polyflor is a perfect choice by the way. So firstly, no installer will be able to give you an exact costing on how much it will be to lay your Expona without making a site visit first. Installing Luxury Vinyl Tiles like the Expona comes down to the condition of the subfloor and if there's any repair work needed. Presuming the subfloor is concrete and it required work I would advise a per sq rate of screeding at £6.00. Then to actually lay the floor I would advise between £15.00 and £20.00 per sq metre. So, to recap: £6 x 70 = £420.00 (subfloor preparation) £20 x 70 = £1,400 (laying the floor, based on a worse-case scenario) Please do let me know where abouts you are in the UK and we may be able to help you with sourcing an installer for the project. We have a direct account with Polyflor too so if you're still in the quoting stages for your new floor I am more than happy to provide you with costings on the floor too. Please to do hesitate to ask and I will gladly assist. All the very best, Christian - a Flooring Guru!...See MoreLuxury Vinyl Tiles advice needed
Comments (14)Matt, are you planning to lay this yourself or employ someone? Because the cost of fitting herringbone, especially glue down, will be more than the flooring itself. It will be A LOT. Which is false economy for a cheaper quality floor. There is a lot of prep work involved for glue down systems. Floor has to be levelled, latexed, polished, prepped. And they are a nightmare to get up if you ever needed to (eg water leak/bad scratch) I would spend more on a decent quality click style herringbone (it ‘clicks’ together rather than being glued to the substrate) & spend less on the fitting this way. So overall, even if the total cost is the same, you get better quality flooring that will last longer, is more durable, better quality & is easier to take up if you needed to in the future. Way faster & cheaper to fit, even a DIYer can fit it, really easy. Kahrs & Karndean (reputable brands) do it in 4 or 5 colours. QA Luvanto is another big brand, they do a good range of herringbone click in various colours. Lamett (Yukon range) have a good selection & is amazing quality & well priced. Moduleo do click style planks but not sure about Herringbone, have a look. Amtico & Polyfloor don’t yet, but will be moving towards this style as people are getting fed up of paying so much for the messy & expensive glue down fitting. Amtico & Polyflor now offer click style planks in some colours, but not yet HB. You could also search for ‘click herringbone LVT’ and ‘click parquet LVT’ on Google & see what you find. Main thing to look for is the wear layer (top layer) - the deeper the better. Also something with a good warranty (Min 10 years - but some are 20 years or even lifetime). Check out reviews, order samples (often free) & test them yourself with water & Key scratching! Anything designed for ‘heavy traffic’ or ‘commercial’ is of course going to be more hard wearing too & generally good. Also don’t be afraid to call/email the manufacturers direct for their recommendations, and to find out all the spec of the products so you could compare them. So, I would increase your budget for the floor itself - but decrease your budget for the fitting - by having a click version rather than glue down! £30m2 is realistic. How big is your area? Because sometimes the more you buy the better rate you get. Also look out for bank holiday/Easter discounts!...See More- PRO9 years ago
