Vinyl for kitchen/dining floors

jola · Jun 07, 2007 1:23 pm

Not sure if this belongs under flooring but my dad suggested good quality vinyl as I think our timber floors in our house would be too "orange" for the colours I am doing in the kitchen/dining area. This is a new extension so I can be flexible.

I saw some nice Karndean ones on their website. I like their Michaelangelo Umbria Nero and Comet as a first pass but not sure about vinyl as always had timber floors. Is it expensive? Other alternatives?

I have two children under 6 and a dog if that matters. Dining suite is Tassie Oak and kitchen will be white and light grey and brown colours (see Laminex relaxed kitchen brochure).

Any opinions and should I post this to the flooring section instead.

Thanks

I have karndean copper vinyl tiles in my kitchen- 7 yrs. Look great with no visible scratches after all these yrs (2 young kids- no dogs). My neighbour got their new range last yr and are happy. Low maintenance and good value. The entire kitchen + dining cost us $ 950 installed..If u like the design and colour, go for it.

hi Jola, Post it in flooring as well if you like.
Another option for your floor is to stain or limewash it then seal it if desired.
Just a thought.

Hi yes I did post in flooring a while back which led to quite an interesting discussion late at night thanks :lol:

This is a new extension so no floors are there yet but might still consider the liming option as that "look" would be good too.

Thanks
