We were set to buy engineered wood flooring and tiles for our ground floor when our builder told me his brother had laid Karndean flooring of “wood” and” tiles “ in his own house and he could not tell it from the real stuff. I have always thought “ pretend” flooring would never look like the real stuff. We also have UFH and been told Karndean is better than wood for this anyway. The wear layer on Karndean is only 0.4mm but it will never need re treating ( like wood) so with care will need no maintenance. A big dilemma for us, I would like to hear your opinions on this matter please folks ?.

Does anyone have any views of less fashionable different types of floors for rooms that may get messy - kitchens, bathrooms, utilities, boot rooms etc. I am quite partial to vinyl off a roll, as it is inexpensive, warm underfoot, can be soft with underlay, and for many rooms it can come in a single piece, and can be selaed round the edge with a bead of appropriately coloured silicon. And it is cheap enough (£6-£15 per sqm) to be almost disposable. Click fit vinyl tiles seem to be an excuse to treble or more the price while losing the benefits. Has anyone used Lino recently? What do you think? That seems to be even harder wearing than Vinyl. I am considering options for the kitchen and bathroom of my Little Brown Bungalow, which has suspended floors throughout. Another possibility would be click fit Bamboo laminate, as I want to be able to get under it easily for maintenance. The sub floor will either be floating, or the suspended floor with a void filled with EPS beads or LECA, air sealed in each case. Thoughts welcome. Ferdinand
