Decent stick on vinyl floor tiles?

last year

We are wanting a budget friendly flooring option for our kitchen for now as we will eventually be extending. Thinking vinyl stick on tiles? (We aren't getting new units etc so thinking that may be easiest/cheapish option).
Any recommendations for places to buy / brands?

When we moved into our current home, we took up the ancient orange bathroom carpet tiles & used cheap wood-effect stick on vinyl tiles from Homebase. I think they were in a value range & they did the job while we were waiting to renovate. This was 8 years ago but I’ve just had a look at their website & they do various colours in adhesive vinyl tiles. Another option is sheet vinyl from a carpet / flooring stockists- you may even find an off cut or roll end at reduced price although you’d need to factor in fitting costs.

Fast becoming one of our most popular flooring choices, you may want to consider an altenative Vinyl to stick down. Which is durable and useable for extending into the new extension when its completed.

SPC Vinyl Tile comes in a 'Click' Plank or Herringbone, it combines limestones and stabilisers to create a very durable core. You also dont lose the traditional benefits of Vinyl either, with it still being stain, water and scratch proof.

We’d recommend SPC vinyl if you want something practical and durable with built in underlay.

Comes in a variety of styles please see imagines below.

Hi Tile without UFH is very cold. You mention not wanting vinyl, but I'm assuming you mean vinyl on a roll (a bit like lino) and so I'd propose Luxury Vinyl Tiles. It is highly durable, often compared to the flooring laid at supermarkets which has high amounts of traffic. It is warmer to the touch than other alternatives such as laminate or tiles and resistant to water. They often come in stone effect or wood effect- and come as tongue and groove planks. You could also consider engineered wood but it needs alot of care.

Since you will almost certainly take down the timber ceiling later I say do that now and if necessary have a plasterer skim it. I would also take off all the tiles for the same reason. For me the wall cabinets are a bit of a hotchpotch and you would be better taking them all down and just putting back up the cabinets and not the corner ends. Personally I think the floor is OK and instead of spending that money on Lino spend it on the plasterer. I would then paint the walls and ceiling. Have a wipeable matt paint mixed for the walls. In my opinion the kitchen doesn’t work at the moment because the walls are white and a fresh blue/green. Then the floor and cabinets are warmer with brown tones. In my opinion a warmer wall colour will make the existing floor and cabinets sit more comfortably in the room without the effort of changing them. So I would paint the walls a warm neutral stone colour such as Farrow and Ball- Savage Ground. The ceiling should be a soft white not brilliant white. I think my suggestions are similar money to earlier suggestions, are less effort but will have a bigger impact on how you view the room.

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!
