The trouble is I look awful in vinyl! Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Kitchen Flooring- vinyls suitable?? 12Jun 09, 2007 10:01 pm No floorcovering is without its weaknesses. A quality vinyl will be quite forgiving under most circumstances. The main damage I see to vinyl is dumb people dragging heavy items (like fridges) across it and ripping the surface. Yes it can be gouged or cut if say a sharp knife is dropped. But there are techniques that can repair vinyl very successfully and usually invisibly. I'd just advise against a uniform plain coloured vinyl, preferring one that has some pattern or textured appearance, so that any flaws will be hardly noticeable.
On the other hand, drop something sharp and a bit heavy on tiles, and both the dropped thing can break and the tile (not so easy to fix)! Michelle you are a naughty, naughty girl! Ash. Vinyl Floors 13Jun 09, 2007 10:03 pm Aaahh so that's why you aren't recommending vinyl!!!!
On a serious note, if that is at all possible now.... With regards the movement someone asked about, this is a new extension we are building so it will help to know what materials we are going to use to get the appropriate "underfloor" for want of the technical term. Never considered cork as I thought it was still orange and daggy. Will give it some real serious thought now and look at colour options. How does it stand up to the knife and fork tests with a 1 and 5 (on Monday) year olds and puppy (yikes will anything other than my hardwood floors do???)

I guess it comes down to your needs and family requirements. Ash……. You bet! Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Kitchen Flooring- vinyls suitable?? 16Jun 09, 2007 10:11 pm Jola…….I hope you’ve got what you need from this post.

I guess it comes down to your needs and family requirements. : That's right. But I'll add this.... You should do your research as to the most PRACTICAL surface first so you have a short-list. Then allow your decor and tastes to take you to your preferred choice. Hmmm, vinyl may not be your thing Mish, but I could see you in lace! Re: Kitchen Flooring- vinyls suitable?? 19Jun 09, 2007 10:20 pm Ok!!!!!!!! Lace….. now we’re talking!!!

who would have thought!! Not recommended! The image presented is for a sublevel area. The footings are down deep with a load bearing wall supporting the upper floor level. If you did that drain… 8 10590 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6191 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 15907 |
