Best conservatory flooring

5 replies

NoSuchThingAsMe · 05/03/2023 08:42

I want to replace a ripped up horrible old carpet in the conservatory of my house I've just bought. What flooring works best? Would prefer something wipe clean for kids.

I was thinking Amtico or similar but read these are not good in the heat.

What would people suggest?

We have Amtico. It was very expensive but is pretty indestructible. Haven't heard that heat is an issue, we have underfloor heating beneath ours.

We had our conservatory built with a tiled floor and a couple of nice rugs in front of the chairs / sofa.
Don't know why but I think anything else other than tiles (ceramic / stone / earthenware) is just wrong in a conservatory?

If you are treating it as an extension of the living room or kitchen then that is different and you may want to match with that.

I have ceramic tiles which do get very cold in the winter (though we don't use the room then anyway). In the summer they soak up the heat and stay warm long into the evening (when we first moved here I wondered briefly if there was underfloor heating which the vendors had forgotten to tell us about, then I realised what was happening!). They're hard wearing and splashes of mud and water from plants or the garden are easily wiped up.

We have good quality laminate flooring and it looks as good today as the day it was installed almost 10 years ago.

The main part house has real wood floors and will be replaced with laminate when we do it up as the high quality laminate is much longer lasting with less maintenance. Our real wood flooring has faded in sunlight and has lots of dents and scratches in it.

We have some kind of cushioned vinyl flooring in ours, it looks fine and is hard wearing/moppable! There's loads of colours/finishes to choose from.
