I had it. Was okay but showed every hair or bit of fluff but I'm not very good at cleaning up. Didn't feel very luxurious but good colours. Mine got stained from hair dye in one room.

Thanks Edith good to have the real lowdown! If you replaced it, what did you go for and was that better?
Anyone else?

Yes. I have it and love it! I like that it’s one smooth floor, no grout lines, but also obviously “fake” – not a fan of fake wood, fake tile etc.

Pros: easy to clean (though I don’t, often), no lines as above so no place for “bits” to gather, pretty colour.

Cons: you need skirting or beading at the edges – it doesn’t cut neatly or slide under skirting – which is fine in a new room with no skirting to begin with but you might need to factor in taking skirting off the walls, or buying beading. Shows all the dirt as pp – but hoovers/brushes/mops easily!

Replaced with patterned tiles to hide the dirt on one room and still not replaced in the other (a leak forced us to pull it up and not got round to anything else yet). We had a light grey which I can't see any more. A different colour might have been better.

Thanks guys this is v helpful. The fitters are charging more than I think they usually would for vinyl so hopefully they are taking the extra fitting work into account. What colour do you have stuntbubbles? Hope you’re liking the patterned tiles Edith! It is easy to lust after a product and forget about the practicalities .

We have it in the bathroom and more recently in kitchen. In both bathrooms it's great. Great colours, easy to clean, looks good etc - we've have saltdean blue and pistachio. But the floor in the kitchen is awful. Shows every speck of dirt - though I think it's the colour - a very pale pink. So I would recommend going for a brighter, more solid colour and in a small space.

Thanks Saturday kitchen this is very useful information. I was going to go for Antelope (a light- ish beige) but on consideration I’ll probably go for their petrol blue or the dark green. I can see how every speck of dust/ stray hair/ food stain would show up on the Antelope.

We have the plain sheet vinyl in our bathroom - in fact, I think I chose it after a recommendation on here! It's the China Blue colour, which is more green and less grey than it looks in their photos. It went down 4.5 years ago and still looks great! It does show fluff, hairs etc round the edges, but that just prompts me to clean the bathroom floor more often than I would otherwise, which is a good thing Grin.

Thanks ElliePascoe glad you’re still liking yours, it’s good to have this positive feedback. Just need to choose a colour now 😊 .

Hi, realise this post was from a good few years ago but just posting in case anyone is still around and kind enough to give us a review of your vinyl flooring - how is the durability, how has it held up to family life? We are looking at their antelope vinyl flooring for the whole house with dog and DD but just worried about durability, does it scratch/mark easily etc.
Thanks!

ElliePascoe · 28/07/2025 17:28

I posted on this thread in 2021, saying that our bathroom floor still looked good after 4.5 years. It continued to look great - no marks or scratches, easy to clean - until we moved house in 2023 (and as far as I know is still going strong). In fact, we're considering getting it again (or maybe their rubber floor) in the bathroom of our new house!

That was in a bathroom, though, I couldn't answer for how well it would stand up in family areas/with a dog. Could you get it out down in just one or two rooms first, to test it out?

KindLimeLurker · 29/07/2025 15:23

Amazing thanks so much for the reply Ellie that's really helpful. We did wonder about just trying it in a couple of rooms but they say on the website to order all the product at one time because there can be slight variations in finish/colour between batches. I've emailed them to ask about this and about durability. We've fallen in love with the product so hopefully it will work for us 🤞

SaturdayKitchenDisco · 08/08/2025 23:00

I also posted in 2021. Our bathrooms in blue and green are fantastic. The blue floor in particular, has been down for at least 6 years and looks as good as the day it went in.

However the pale colour remains awful. It shows all the dirt and is now quite badly scratched and marked - just from normal use. I think it'd be even worse with a dog. It's only been a bit over 4 years but the whole thing is going to be replaced.

I wouldn't recommend the pale colours in high traffic areas tbh.

KindLimeLurker · 09/08/2025 10:17

Thanks for the reply and update. We've definitely fallen in love with the look of the flooring and our fitter has said it seems good quality with a good wear level. He reckons unless the dog actually purposefully digs/scratches at the floor it should be ok with his normal running around 🤞

Good to know about the pale colour showing all the dirt/marks. We were thinking about the antelope taupe which isn't as light as a pale pink but not a rich or dark colour. Will chat to DH and see what other colours we like!

Seeingadistance · 19/12/2025 22:22

@KindLimeLurker I wondered if you did get this flooring and if so, how you like it?

I got samples of the pale pink - which I love! and the antelope which you were considering. A bit worried that another poster hasn't got on well with the pale pink.
