100th highest of 151 towns

Glasgow 34.9Median of 151 towns 38.1Each dot is one day of the year

The centre of Glasgow averages 34.9 days of air frost a year (1991 to 2020), a little below the median of 38.1 for the 151 towns.

For a hallway floor the frost matters less for the temperature indoors than for what it brings in. The guide to hallways and stairs describes the hall as the room every journey through the home crosses, and the first floor that everything from outside lands on: grit, rain and, in winter, salt.

On frosty days all three arrive together on the soles of your shoes. So specify a Glasgow hall for the winter weeks rather than for a dry day in June: a surface that takes grit and salt, wipes clean, and is still presentable in March.

Hallway in Glasgow

5 chapters on hallway flooring in Glasgow · about 2 min read

01/ 05

  • 30.0days with 10 mm of rain or more

Standing water from umbrellas and boots

Rain completes the winter picture. Heavy rain falls on 30.0 days in an average year in the town centre, 18th of 151 towns against a median of 17.8. Indoors that means dripping coats, a dropped umbrella and wet boots on the mat, water that lies where it lands. The hallways guide separates a spill that is mopped up straight away from a puddle that stays for an hour; a Glasgow hall has to be specified for the second.

02/ 05

  • 68.7%live in a flat

The hall of a flat, over somebody's bedroom

Glasgow leads the 151 towns for flat-dwelling, with 68.7% of households (Scotland: 34.4%). The entrance hall of a flat is its busiest strip of floor and the one that collects the street, and it is frequently the room above somebody's bedroom. For that pairing of wear and sound the flats guide suggests rigid vinyl with a textured surface, or matt laminate over an underlay with a rating.

Council housing adds its own layouts. Before the war, the council's housing schemes were built largely as 4-storey tenemental blocks or as 4-in-a-block flats, Historic Scotland and the council note. Where abrasion concentrates depends on how a home is entered and lived in, so look at your own route from the front door before deciding how far the hard-wearing floor should run.

03/ 05

  • 13.9%in a semi
  • 4.9%in a detached house

Semis with a hall, houses with a staircase

13.9% of households live in a semi-detached house (Scotland: 23.3%). A semi usually has a hall between the front door and the rooms, and that hall is where the abrasion collects, rather than the first living room as in a terrace opening onto the street.

Detached houses are rare: 4.9% of households, against 23.9% for Scotland and 150th of 151 towns. Where a house has its staircase at the centre, footsteps on hard treads carry to every room. A runner laid over the treads softens that without hiding the floor you chose.

04/ 05

  • 8.1%four or more bedrooms
  • 35.0%rent socially

Wear ratings, budgets and halls in rented homes

16.1% of households have at least two bedrooms more than they need (Scotland: 32.2%), and 8.1% have four or more bedrooms (Scotland: 17.2%). Whatever the size of the home, a hallway and a spare bedroom are not the same job, so the wear rating is chosen for the hall on its own terms. On a fixed budget, the bedrooms guide suggests taking the thinner wear layer upstairs and putting the difference into the hallway, where the floor actually gets walked on.

35.0% of Glasgow households rent from the council or a housing association, 1st of 151 towns (Scotland: 22.5%). For entrance halls in a property the landlord intends to hold, the rentals guide names porcelain tile as the long-horizon choice.

05/ 05

  • 0.21dogs per household
  • 21.3%with dependent children

Dogs and children through the front door

Dogs are relatively scarce: a median of 0.21 per household across 12 of Glasgow's postcode districts (modelled, 2015), against 0.41 in the median of 2,737 postcode districts in Great Britain. Where a dog lives, the dogs guide identifies the hallway as the room where it does most of the damage, and the floor there has to survive that.

21.3% of households have dependent children (Scotland: 23.5%). For a hall that sees school bags and football boots, the guide to choosing a floor points to matt, textured surfaces with a lively grain, because they keep the day's marks from standing out.

Checks

Before you order hallway flooring in Glasgow

  • Specify for the winter weeks Grit, rain and salt arrive together on frosty days; choose a surface that takes all three.
  • Plan for a puddle, not a splash Umbrellas and boots leave water that sits; the floor has to cope with an hour, not a minute.
  • In a flat, ask for the underlay rating A hall over a neighbour's bedroom needs a rated underlay under laminate, or a textured rigid vinyl.
  • Move budget into the hall Take the thinner wear layer upstairs and spend the difference where the floor is walked on.
  • Pick matt and textured A busier grain and a matt finish hide daily marks better than a smooth, plain surface.

Questions

Questions about hallway flooring in Glasgow

What floor suits the hallway of a Glasgow flat?

A textured rigid vinyl or a matt laminate on a rated underlay, according to the flats guide. 68.7% of Glasgow households live in a flat, where the hall often lies over a neighbour's bedroom.

Why does winter weather matter for a Glasgow hallway floor?

Because grit, rain and salt land on the hall first. The town centre averages 34.9 days of air frost a year, and on those days all three come in together.

Does a Glasgow hallway need a floor that copes with standing water?

Yes. With 30.0 heavy-rain days a year, umbrellas and boots leave puddles that sit, and a floor that copes with a wiped spill may not cope with that.

Is porcelain tile a sensible hall floor in a council or housing association flat?

For a property the landlord intends to hold, the rentals guide calls porcelain the long-horizon choice for entrance halls. 35.0% of Glasgow households rent socially.
