The Best Flooring for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Kitchens and bathrooms are the hardest working rooms in any home. They deal with water, spills, steam and constant foot traffic, so the flooring needs to be tough as well as good looking. Here are the options we most often fit for kitchens and bathrooms across Croydon, Orpington and Kent.

Luxury vinyl tile

LVT is our first recommendation for these rooms. It is fully waterproof, easy to clean and available in realistic wood and stone effects, so you get a high end look without the worry. It is comfortable underfoot and copes happily with dropped pans, splashes and wet feet.

Sheet vinyl

Sheet vinyl is a practical and cost effective choice, especially for bathrooms, utility rooms and busy family kitchens. Fitted as a single continuous surface, it leaves very few seams for water to find, which keeps it hygienic and simple to maintain. It is also a popular option for nurseries and healthcare settings for the same reasons.

What to be careful with

Solid wood and standard laminate are usually best kept out of bathrooms and away from areas that see standing water, as moisture can cause swelling over time. If you love the look of wood in a kitchen, a wood effect LVT gives you the style with none of the risk.

Preparation is everything

In wet rooms a smooth, level and properly prepared subfloor is essential for a lasting finish. We prepare the base carefully, fit your chosen floor with tight, clean joins, and leave everything ready to use. Every installation is backed by our one year workmanship guarantee.
