Tile Giant’s Marketing & Brand Manager, Kamila Chalfin, discusses the benefits of stick down vinyl flooring, and the top trends to embrace.
Flooring has long enjoyed its moment in the spotlight, but the tiling industry is making its mark offering homeowners and designers an ever-increasing range of options that are both functional and stylish, and well suited to the space. As experts in surface solutions, it’s a natural choice for tile manufacturers to develop flooring ranges using their know-how and expertise to deliver flooring that will stand the test of time while appealing to modern consumer tastes.
Tile Giant is one retailer who has recently launched a new flooring collection, taking the company from tiling experts to both tiling and flooring specialists. The stick down vinyl range in particular has received a fantastic reception from consumers who love the variety of designs on offer and functionality of the product.
Part of the Ideal Home partnership, the stick down flooring planks are well suited to residential projects, and also suitable for light commercial use. Hardwearing and waterproof, the range is perfect for busy family homes, and comes with a lifetime warranty, offering peace of mind to customers.
Made from premium vinyl, the range won’t move over time, and is well suited to high traffic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and larger rooms. The glue down element of the floor creates a more secure floorcovering that can withstand impact, scratches and spills leaving homeowners safe in the knowledge that their floor is here to stay for years to come.
When it comes to trends, there are a number of key looks dominating floors.
The wonder of wood
Let the outdoors in with beautiful wood-effect tiles and flooring. The trend for wood continues to evolve, and with so many fantastic variations in pattern, texture and colour, there is an option for everyone. Hard to distinguish from real timber, these wood-effect vinyl designs offer a timeless appeal for both traditional and modern settings alike.
Zabini Light from Tile Giant offers soothing shades of beige and cream with warm wood undertones to give rooms a bright and airy feel. The realistic woodgrain effect introduces the look of natural wood and gives floors a premium look and feel underfoot. The beauty of these stick down planks is that you can be creative with how you lay them, offering customers more choice and an opportunity to tap into the popular herringbone and chevron patterns.
The power of grey
Grey still reigns supreme in the home especially when combined with an oak-effect floor to deliver a contemporary, minimalist look. Blaise Grey is a practical flooring solution which features neutral tones that work well with any colour scheme. Lay it in a linear direction for maximum impact to create a flow throughout the living space. Cool and modern, the understated style makes a great choice for an impressive hallway. Team with white walls for a timeless entrance to a property.
