TILES FLOOR TILES BEST FOR: Kitchens and bathrooms - especially if walls also need covering. A GOOD CHOICE IF: You like stylish finishes and the lowmaintenance quality of tiles. They also conduct heat well for underfloor heating. TAKE TO THE FLOOR Time to refresh the flooring in your home? We look at four popular materials and which areas they work best for... WOODEN FLOORING BEST FOR: Living spaces like sitting rooms and studies. TIPS & TRICKS: There are so many finishes available - the trend for patterns isn’t abating - we love the Boreal Mix Wood-Effect Tiles, above right, and the Grande Saltram on the kitchen floor, left, both Original Style. TIPS & TRICKS: Take time to consider if you want hardwood floors or engineered wood flooring. Engineered wood flooring tends to work better in moist-prone areas, as their base flexes less. Well maintained solid wood floors will last for decades and can be re-sanded multiple times. WOOD A GOOD CHOICE IF: You are looking for a classic option which adds longterm value to your home. You do have to be mindful of which rooms you choose to use it in. Both options provide lots of benefits and many colour and pattern choices, so it’s worth doing your research. Image from flooringvillage.co.uk LUXURY VINYL TILES BEST FOR: These work anywhere in the home, but particularly well in kitchens and bathrooms or high traffic areas. They are easy to maintain. A GOOD CHOICE IF: You want a hard-wearing, low maintenance floor with an enormous range of patterns and finishes. We love the new heritage-style collections from Karndean and Amtico plus their wood and stone effect tiles are very realistic. Karndean LVT TIPS & TRICKS: You can use these anywhere and the way you lay them can create some great personal style. Amtico CARPETS BEST FOR: Bedrooms and some living rooms - nothing replicates the cosiness of a carpet. Also good for noise reduction. A GOOD CHOICE IF: You have small children - stain resistant blends are available. There is a huge choice when you buy carpets - the colours can really complement a scheme and the soft feel instantly warms up a room and provides thermal insulation - perfect for any property. TIPS & TRICKS: In high traffic areas choose hardwearing finishes like the stylish 100% wool Berber collection from Kingsmead Carpets. Kingsmead Carpets Kingsmead Carpets - Berber Traditions Luxury Vinyl Tiles are not known for their environmental credentials (other than their long-lasting finish) so we were excited to hear about Amtico’s new Cirro range which is PVC free. At the moment it’s a commercial product, but it’s good to see the industry adapting to consumer demand. CARPET www.wokinghamlifestyle.co.uk | 39
