Hi

I’ve got a bit of a dilema with the flooring I am going to have in my kitchen. I have ivory shaker units with a beech wood worktop and cannot decide what flooring to go with. I

have decided against wooden flooring but not sure what tiling to go with, perhaps terracotta or grey.

I have even considered changing my worktops to black granite to make my decision easier as I would then have slate flooring but obviously I don’t want to go the the expense of having

to change the worktops!!

Help!!!!

Welcome to our forum and I hope you benefit from the advice you

receive and of course benefit others with your own advice.

I’m a big fan of vinyl flooring in th kitchen for its durability, resistance to water ingress and it’s aethetical quality. None better to choose in my opinion, than Amtico and you

can interweave the colours and shades to reflect those already existent in your design.

Maintenance wise it is less demanding than tiles and is, if laid correctly, impervious to the spillages that will naturally occur in the kitchen.

It wouldn’t be amiss to choose a similar colour to your worktop as the main area with a contrasting strip between to reflect the other shades in your design. With the possibility of

a centrepiece or border your choice will be limitless and it may be worth viewing their range for ideas.

Good luck and keep us updated on your decision.

Wow!

I have been on their website and the vinyl flooring looks stunning.

It is something that never even crossed my mind to use I always thought of it as 70′s lino which this in no way is. What with a husband who likes building things and getting filthy,

3 kids, a dog and a cat I think you are right that this is the best option for durablility & keeping clean (I have limestone tiles at the moment and they are a nightmare to keep

clean).

In fact I am phoning my local supplier today for an appointment.

Thanks Tim for your help.

Glad you found the advice useful and I think you will be making the correct choice.

Let us know you’re opinion once it’s been tried and tested for a few weeks.
