Floor Direct, based in Islington, is the leading provider of carpet and flooring in Greater London and the surrounding counties. We have over 20 years of expertise in the flooring industry, and we can supply and fit any type of flooring, wherever you wish.
You may want to install new carpet, vinyl, laminate, engineered wood, luxury vinyl tiles or other flooring in your home for example, or you may be building a brand-new home. You may have a business, such as a hotel or restaurant, a butcher’s or a corner shop. When you have any sort of business you are getting more footfall than in a home, but the type of flooring that you need can still vary. For example, a hotel or offices within a company will likely need lots of contract quality carpet, whereas in a restaurant, where there can be spills, you may need something that can take the traffic and yet be easy to clean, such as luxury vinyl tiles.
For instance, you may choose wood flooring in Islington for the entrance hall in your home, and the possibilities are almost endless because there are just so many different types of wood that you could use. It is very much a matter of personal taste, just as long as the wood can handle the foot traffic.
Apart from the appearance of a floor, one has to take into consideration the footfall and also the use of the room. So, for example, most people wouldn’t put a carpet in the kitchen but would use tile or vinyl or laminate. But then when you look at those choices, such as vinyl and laminate, they are available in different thicknesses. Which one should you choose?
Happy To Help
As the leading provider of carpet and flooring in Greater London, we are happy to help you. For instance, if you have underfloor heating in the bathroom, or any other room, the best floor surface is tile or stone. This is because of the thermal conductivity of these materials. The heat transfers quickly from the heating pipe or cable to the surface of tile or stone, and these materials also retain heat well, making them eco-friendly and keeping your heating bills down.Do not forget to ask about our under floor heating solutions and services.
You can also use wood flooring in Islington with underfloor heating, but in this instance, it is better to use engineered wood rather than solid hardwood. You get the added benefits of strength and durability with engineered wood.
You can begin to see why choosing flooring can be so complex, but this is why we are happy to send one of our experts to your property to help you make the right decisions.
