Need help on flooring for Edwardian house with contemporary extension
Comments (21)Hi AR, Tiles/Wood effect tiles are an option however you'd be surprised where real wood flooring can go. All our engineered/solid wood flooring is suitable for any room excluding wet rooms. The advantage over tiles is that it can be easily repaired if scratched/damaged. Also in terms of heat, if used with underfloor heating it will hold the heat for longer periods of time as tiles tend to disperse heat faster. Wood is a better natural conductor of heat as opposed to stone/tile, hence why we use them with fireplaces/barbeques etc. (please only use engineered wood flooring with underfloor heating). Not only that but if you wished to change the colour of the floor in 20-30 years it is easily done by simply sanding and applying a stain/varnish. Our flooring has been used in restaurants/bars hotels, as well as residential properties, so do not rule it out as there are many designs/styles available from standard planks, to antique boards, chevrons, Versailles panels, herringbone etc. Just have a quick look through our projects to get an idea. PROJECTS We hope this helps broaden your options, and if you need any more info do let us know and we'll be glad to help....See MoreTiled shower floor practicalities?
Comments (14)Hi Jen Tiled wet rooms look great and make a bathroom feel more spacious. You would need a wet room system installing by a professional to ensure there are no issues with leaks (particularly if it's a first floor bathroom!). There will be more maintenance with a tiled floor - particularly if you have hard water/ limescale. The grout will show wear and tear first so larger tiles with fewer grout lines are a good idea. Wet rooms look fantastic but will need more TLC than a shower tray. This is probably a price worth paying to achieve the look you want!...See MoreBefore & After - London Apartment Makeover

Comments (0)One of the main advantages of a laminate wooden floor is that advancements in design allow for wooden floors to cleverly replicate other popular flooring options, like tile or stone effect floors. As the range of tile-effect wooden floors has increased, so too have the opportunities to incorporate them into your home interior. Many design-conscious homeowners are embracing tile in rooms all over the house, not just the bathroom where these would be a traditional choice. One of our most popular tile-effect flooring choices is our Elite Stone Concrete which our customers love, so here are 4 ways to use it in your own home to create a stunning end result. Hallway Create a contemporary entrance to your home using the Elite Stone Concrete Floor and set the tone for guests on what to expect from the rest of your stylish interior. Not only does this floor look great in a hall, it’s also a very practical addition as it’s durable and easy to clean thanks to the square edge finish, so no dirt or dust can gather in the joints. Style the rest of your hallway with modern accessories to really show the floor off to its full potential – like a large plant in a simple white pot, and a statement mirror above a slimline console table. Kitchen The light and dark grey tones in this Elite Stone Concrete floor work wonderfully well with a bright and modern white kitchen, and especially when paired with modern chrome or silver taps, light fittings and cupboard handles. You can appreciate the beauty and quality of this floor for years as it’s an extremely hard-wearing design – it’s even ideal for commercial settings, so you’ll get a floor you can enjoy for years. Fitting a tile effect wooden floor is also typically much quicker, and with this floor it’s just a simple click installation system, so you could also save on fitting costs. Living room A living room might be an odd choice for adding a tile effect floor as many people incorrectly assume it will look and feel cold. This is most definitely not the case with the Elite Stone Concrete floor – especially as it’s suitable for underfloor heating – what a great way to add extra cosiness to your living space. This flooring choice is perfect for complementing a living room which features a wood burning stove or other modern fireplace and large windows letting in lots of light.

Conservatory A conservatory or sunroom is a great addition to your home, and they typically feature tile or stone flooring which makes them easy to maintain and very hard wearing. Adding the Elite Stone Concrete floor to your conservatory would be a very wise design choice indeed – this classic colour matches well with most shades so you can pair your sofa or armchairs with it effortlessly, and with so much light in a conservatory this dark grey floor makes a nice contrast....See MoreJuliet Docherty
