GreysThe look

Still unsure? Real people, honest advice.

The look

Greys in the BML rigid vinyl range run from grey oak planks to concrete and cement tiles. Eleven floors in all four formats; every one is listed as waterproof, arrives with the underlay attached and is listed as compatible with underfloor heating.

Wood look or stone look
Eight grey oak designs across plank, wide plank and herringbone, and three concrete and cement tiles at 305 mm by 610 mm. The tiles are the choice for a bathroom or a utility room that wants a stone floor without stone; the planks for a kitchen-diner that wants wood without the worry.
Every format
Two 5.2 mm planks with a 0.3 mm wear layer; four wide planks, two herringbone blocks and three tiles at 6.5 mm with 0.55 mm. Grey is the only tone in the range available in all four formats.
Cool floor, warm room
Grey vinyl reads cooler than grey oak because the print is more even. Pair it with warm whites and timber furniture and the room balances; pair it with cool white walls and grey units and it can feel clinical.

In depth

Choosing grey rigid vinyl

Grey is the widest tone in the rigid vinyl range and the only one that covers all four formats, which makes it the band to start in if the room is undecided between a wood look and a stone look. Eleven BML floors. Two 5.2 mm planks at 181 mm by 1220 mm with a 0.3 mm wear layer: Grey Oak and Misty Oak. Four 6.5 mm wide planks at 228 mm by 1524 mm with 0.55 mm: Rustic Grey Oak, Misty Oak, Grey Oak and Grey-beige Oak. Two 6.5 mm herringbone blocks at 126 mm by 630 mm, also 0.55 mm: Grey Oak and Smoked Limed Oak. And three 6.5 mm tiles at 305 mm by 610 mm with 0.55 mm: Concrete Dark Grey, Concrete Grey and Cement Light.

The split is wood look against stone look. The eight oak designs give a grey floor that reads as timber, with the printed grain running the length of the board; the three tiles give a floor that reads as poured concrete or cement, laid brick bond or stack bond with fine joints instead of grout. Bathrooms, utility rooms and downstairs cloakrooms tend to take the tiles; kitchen-diners and open-plan rooms tend to take the wide plank; hallways take the herringbone where a pattern is wanted at the door.

In practice

All eleven share the construction of the range: solid polymer core, listed as waterproof, underlay attached, commercial grade, listed as compatible with underfloor heating, 25 year manufacturer's warranty. The printed grey is more even than a grey oak floor, which is why a grey vinyl can read cool in a cool room. Warm white walls, timber furniture or a rug bring it back; a sample laid in the room's own light is the check.

Wear layer decides the format for busy rooms: the 0.3 mm planks for bedrooms and living rooms, the 0.55 mm floors for hallways, kitchens and bathrooms. The classification the flooring standards use for that difference, and the slip test that matters on a stone-look floor in a wet room, are quoted below.

FAQ

Which grey vinyl suits a bathroom floor?
The three tiles: Concrete Dark Grey, Concrete Grey and Cement Light, at 305 mm by 610 mm with a 0.55 mm wear layer. They read as a stone floor, click together without grout, and are listed as waterproof. The Grey Oak herringbone is the wood-look alternative at the same wear layer.
Is the concrete tile cold underfoot?
No colder than any vinyl floor, and warmer than the concrete it imitates: the solid polymer core does not draw heat the way stone does. Over underfloor heating it is listed as compatible, and the standard's surface temperature limits are quoted below.
What is the difference between Grey Oak and Rustic Grey Oak?
Grain, not colour. Both are 6.5 mm wide planks at 228 mm by 1524 mm with a 0.55 mm wear layer; Rustic Grey Oak prints a knottier, more varied board, Grey Oak a calmer one. Misty Oak, in the same format, prints a washed grey.
LVT or laminate, what is the difference?
LVT shrugs off water where laminate swells at the joints, and it is quieter and slightly softer underfoot; laminate is harder-wearing against scratches and cheaper. For wet rooms choose LVT every time.
Do you deliver UK-wide and can I get a sample first?
Yes, UK-wide delivery options, and samples from £1.99 so you can check the design at home first.

EN ISO 10874 — use classes

EN ISO 10874 sets out a classification of floor coverings by area and intensity of use; the classes are 21, 22 and 23 for domestic use, 31 to 34 for commercial use and 41 to 43 for industrial use.

Class 21Domestic moderate/light
Class 22Domestic general/medium
Class 23Domestic heavy
Class 31Commercial moderate
Class 32Commercial general
Class 33Commercial heavy
Class 41Industrial moderate
Class 42Industrial general
Class 43Industrial heavy

“In EN ISO 10874 a classification system for different use classes is described, with references to the relevant product standards.”

Pendulum Test Value — how slip risk is assessed

HSE grades pedestrian slip potential from the pendulum test value (PTV): 0-24 is high slip potential, 25-35 moderate and 36 or above low slip potential, the pendulum coefficient-of-friction test being the subject of BS 7976 Parts 1-3.

Maximum floor surface temperature

EN 1264 caps the floor surface temperature at 29 °C in the occupied area, 35 °C in the edge (perimeter) zone and 33 °C in bathrooms.
