Bathroom Flooring … what are the options?

Not only does bathroom flooring have to stand up to lots of traffic, it also needs to be waterproof, slip-resistant, easy to clean and warm underfoot.

At Red Carpets, we find that stone and wood are by far the most popular looks that our customers choose for their bathrooms.  I say ‘looks’ because most people would agree that stone flooring is too cold and hard for a bathroom and wood is just not practical in such a wet and humid environment.  Hence, we would always recommend that our customers pick from our range of vinyl or luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), such as Karndean, for their bathroom.

Vinyl and LVT are both water resistant, hygienic and easy to keep clean.  Unlike their natural counterparts, they will never need sanding, varnishing, waxing or polishing.  They are also much softer and warmer underfoot, which, in our opinion, is a must for any bathroom floor.  If you have underfloor heating in your bathroom, we also can help you select a compatible vinyl floor.

If you aren’t looking for the look of wood or stone, then vinyl flooring comes in an endless selection or colours and patterns, so you are bound to find what you are looking for.

When you are looking for new flooring for your bathroom, please come and see your huge range of luxury vinyl tiles and vinyl flooring in our showrooms in Market Harborough, South Wigston or Anstey.

Look after your flooring this summer with our simple tips

You may think that autumn or winter is the time of year that takes most toll on your flooring, but in some ways summer can be even worse.  Have you got children traipsing in and out all day or going from paddling pool to sandpit and then coming in?  Are you having friends round for a BBQ which results in everyone coming indoors?  Pets that are shedding their winter coats?  To keep your flooring looking good this summer, here are our simple tips:

  • Doormats at each door into your home will help to reduce the amount of dirt being brought into your home.
  • Take shoes off when you come inside – this is the easiest way to stop mud and dirt being spread throughout your home.  Or better still, just stay outside!
  • Clean up any mishaps as quickly as possible – cleaning up food and drink spills or mud and dirt as soon as possible will prevent them from becoming stubborn stains.
  • Sweep up hard floor areas often – removal of dirt from hard floor areas will stop it being transferred to other rooms.
  • Vacuum regularly – in particular high traffic areas and those areas close to front and back doors.  Dirt left on carpets can be trodden deep into the carpet, so the quicker dirt is removed from carpets the better.
  • Sunlight can fade carpets and other flooring, so if you’re going away consider drawing curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight shining on your flooring.

We hope that your flooring looks good all summer.  However if you are feel that the time has come to replace your flooring, please come and see our range of carpets, vinyl and luxury vinyl tiles in our showrooms in South Wigston, Anstey and Market Harborough.
