Laminate flooring has come a very long way since we first began selling it in the late 1990s. Since then we have fitted thousands upon thousands of laminate floors and we've seen the quality and the design come on leaps and bounds. A lot of the early laminate flooring was plastic looking, clearly fake and the joints were barely fit for the purpose. When Quick Step came along with their revolutionary ‘uniclic' joint in 1997 then things really began to improve. Hot on the heels of that came the likes of Balterio and Egger with their own versions and alternative designs.
There are literally thousands of ranges of carpets available to us, so where do we begin? We don't just mindlessly plaster our shop in samples - we pick the cream of the crop in terms of value, quality and design. We don't want to palm anyone off with cheap and nasty, but we still manage to carry a good range of value for money budget carpets. We've chosen some of our best sellers and carpets that we personally believe to be of excellent value for money and that give you a good representation of the carpets we sell.
If you are looking to give your garden a summer makeover what better way than a lush new lawn. Artificial grass can give your garden a fresh new look with all of the comfort and durability you want but none of the maintenance of a traditional lawn. Most artificial grass projects can be fitted by a keen diy-er and you will find many tips, tricks, videos and instructions online. If you are worried then most local gardeners and landscapers now provide a fitting service. You can also hose off any unwanted spills or pet accidents with no worries as all of our grass has water drain holes to avoid surface water sitting on top.
Cushioned vinyl is an excellent option in wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, but can be used in any area of the home. We fit a number of hallways, conservatories, bedrooms and lounges in it and it can look stunning in the right setting. Vinyl design has come a very long way in a very short space of time. The vast amount of options currently available is enough to satisfy even the most demanding designer! Quality has steadily improved over the years and virtually all of them now feature R10 slip-resistance as standard.
Any flooring retailer is only as good as its fitters. Many retailers in this trade are let down by incompetent and rude fitters - we would never allow that. All of our fitters are seasoned professionals who have all fitted thousands of floors successfully in their careers. We only work with fitters who we'd be happy to have in our own homes. It's not just about their technical skills though (important as that is), we make sure that we don't have surly, miserable fitters because we want our customers to be pleased with the finished job and also to be absolutely comfortable and trusting of the fitters we use.
