Utility Room Flooring in Reading

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.

On a new development, wait until the snag list is closed before the floor goes down, and get the screed's moisture reading in writing at handover. Those two steps prevent most of what goes wrong in the first year, and neither costs anything.

Yes. We deliver across Reading and Berkshire from our UK warehouse, including the RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6 and RG30 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 Reading 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.
