Utility Room Flooring in Edinburgh

Rigid vinyl listed as waterproof, in the plank or the click-tile format, or a matt porcelain tile. Both cope with a leak and a wet mop; the vinyl floats over an old slab, the tile needs it levelled. The base has to be dry under either.

A floating floor carries an appliance; what it should not do is be pinned by it at one point and expected to move elsewhere. A tray under the machine and the expansion gap kept at the walls are the two details.

Laminate is kept out of the rooms that get wet in this range, and a utility is one of them. The rigid vinyl gives the same look with the waterproof listing.

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.
