Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Hi all,

Does anyone have Luxury Vinyl flooring in their house? What do you think of it?
Would you recommend it? Is it worth the money?

I am considering having some sort of vinyl flooring in the bedrooms just for practical reasons really. Carpet is lovely but it does get dirty :(
Would it look awful with vinyl? I am worried that carpet and kids are not a very good mix. I have laminate flooring throughout the upstairs atm but we're moving to a new house which we'll be renovating in the months ahead. I'd use laminate (good ones, mind) again but husband is afraid that if there were any problems and he needed to get to pipes under the floor for example, then it would be a nightmare with something like laminate.

What are your thoughts/ideas/clever solutions for bedroom floors?

Thanks in advance!

We’re moving to a house where the kitchen/diner has a Karndean floor. When we viewed the house it looked immaculate with a lovely sheen to it. How do you all clean yours? I know Karndean sell special cleaners.

Can't speak for the others but karndean is easy to take up as you can just use a heat gun, pull it up and glue it back down.

I have Karndean in my kitchen/garden room and I'm about to have it put through the rest of the downstairs. I've been influenced by how it looks in some new houses that have been built in our village and also by the fact that our large rescue dog does not go well wit;h the very light carpet we have at the moment.

Yes, use karndean cleaning stuff, don't strip it back though, has not been necessary.

We have literally just had Polyflor put down last week in a herringbone pattern in our kitchen diner extension and office at home the fitter just glued the long planks down in a herringbone pattern on top of a screeded floor and top of ply in the original part of the house we have also ordered the Karndean "kit" which will be put on over the next few days to protect and give it the sheen all bought from flooring direct whose cusomer service has been fab, in addition if you contact Polyflor they will send loads of samples out.
