Kitchen Flooring in Edinburgh

There are two candidates in the range and the room decides: rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, warmer and quieter and forgiving of an old base, or porcelain tile, harder and permanent. The kitchen guide linked below compares them.

Engineered oak is fitted in kitchens with a sealed finish and wiped-up spills, but it is not listed as waterproof and a leak under a dishwasher will mark it. Where the look of wood is wanted with the listing, the rigid-vinyl planks and herringbone are the answer.

The HSE grades slip potential by pendulum test value, with 36 or above rated low. Two of the porcelain tiles in the range carry an R11 rating in the listing; for a domestic kitchen the floor is chosen for the spill and the mop as much as for the rating.

Cold alone does no harm. What moves a floor is the swing between a long heating season indoors and a cold, damp stair outside the flat door — so fit at the moisture content the flat will actually hold, and leave the expansion gap the board asks for at every edge.

Yes. We deliver across Edinburgh and Scotland from our UK warehouse, including the EH1, EH2, EH3, EH4, EH5 and EH6 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Edinburgh address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
