Buying LVT online / experience of polyflor/ alternatives to Amtico ?

[JoanDarc]

Been looking at Amtico for our new kitchen / diner extension. Quoted £100 per square m for supply/install by the local stockist. Read up on polyflor and seems to get a good write up as a viable alternative. Keen to hear if anyone has purchased online and arranged a fitter locally? Would you recommend the product?

I had over 1200sq feet of Polyflor installed in my flat over a year ago. It's fabulous. Expona was the type of Polyflor LVT. It's commercial grade. It's Matt and just needs wiping over. Mine is mid colour but also varigated so nothing shows. We have concrete floors so they screeded over that then laid a noise proof underlay. It's warm to walk on with no socks too. Had laminate in my previous home which was cold and Mrs robust.

Ignore the word Mrs. Also had one room of good carpet and the total cost was around £8k.

Our flooring installer said Polyflor was basically the same as Amtico and Karndean, just without the brand name. He also recommended something called Fusion.

We've got polyflor. It's great. My advice would be to make sure you see a FULL sized sample tile. We loved a floor based on a small sample the showroom had. He ordered us a full sized one and thank god he did. Only on the full size one could I see it had all these fake wood worm holes and was meant to look aged which would not have looked right for us at all. Make sure you get a good fitter too. If you can get anyone recommended to you.
