Frequently Asked Questions

For high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms or commercial spaces, it’s important to choose flooring that offers durability, ease of maintenance and resistance to wear. Vinyl flooring and hybrid hard flooring are excellent choices because they’re designed to handle heavy foot traffic without showing signs of damage. Vinyl planks are also water-resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for homes with kids or pets.

Vinyl flooring has become one of the most popular choices for residential and commercial use due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness. It’s water-resistant, easy to clean and available in a wide range of designs including timber-look finishes and stone effects. Unlike real wood or tile, vinyl is softer underfoot and absorbs sound better, making it more comfortable for daily use. It’s also generally more affordable to install and maintain. For families, rental properties or anyone looking for low-fuss flooring that still looks stylish, vinyl is a smart solution.

Choosing the right carpet depends on the space, lifestyle and level of foot traffic in your home. Plush and cut pile carpets provide a soft, luxurious feel, making them great for bedrooms or formal living areas. Loop pile carpets, like Berber, are more durable and suited for busy areas like hallways or family rooms. For homes with pets or kids, stain-resistant and easy-clean options are worth considering. Think about colour too—lighter carpets can brighten a space but may require more upkeep, while darker shades are better at hiding dirt and wear.

Hybrid flooring is a waterproof, multi-layer product that combines the best features of laminate and vinyl, making it suitable for areas prone to moisture like kitchens and entryways. It’s tough, stable and easy to install with a click-lock system. Engineered flooring, on the other hand, is made with a real timber veneer over layers of plywood or HDF, offering the look of hardwood with more structural stability. While engineered flooring gives you that genuine wood feel, hybrid is better for wet zones and high-traffic areas.

The timeline for flooring installation varies based on the type of flooring, the size of the area and the condition of the subfloor. For smaller rooms or straightforward projects, vinyl and carpet installations can often be completed in a day. Larger or more complex jobs may take several days, especially if old flooring needs to be removed or levelling is required. Hybrid and engineered floors may take longer due to precise cutting and preparation. It's always best to get a professional quote and timeline tailored to your specific project.
