Tiles and stone-look surfaces
Tiles can suit wet, busy areas and work with underfloor heating when correctly specified. Grout colour, slip resistance and the feel underfoot deserve attention.
Vinyl and resilient flooring
Modern vinyl options can feel warmer and quieter. Subfloor preparation matters because bumps and movement may show through thinner materials.
Timber and laminate
Wood brings warmth but needs suitable protection and care. Laminate varies widely. Check water guidance, edge protection and whether the product is recommended for kitchens.
