FAQ’s
How do I measure my space so I know how much flooring to order?
To accurately measure your space, start by drawing a rough sketch of the room. Measure the length and width in meters and multiply these to get the square meterage. Add 10% to account for cuts and waste. For irregular shapes, divide the room into manageable squares or rectangles and sum their areas.
What’s the difference between solid wood, engineered wood, laminate and vinyl flooring in terms of durability and appearance?
Solid wood flooring offers a classic and timeless look, with great durability and the option to sand and refinish over time. Engineered wood provides a similar appearance to solid wood but with better resistance to changes in humidity and temperature. Laminate flooring is highly durable, scratch-resistant, and offers a variety of designs, including realistic wood visuals at a lower cost. Vinyl flooring, including LVT and SPC, is waterproof, making it ideal for bathrooms and kitchens, and comes in a wide range of designs.
Why are some packs shorter than others in my flooring packs?
Particularly with engineered wood floors, to help achieve a natural staggered layout, manufacturers often include a percentage of pre-cut split boards (approximately 20%). This is normal and considered industry standard for fixed-length products.
Are your flooring products suitable for homes with pets or children?
Yes. Our range includes durable and easy-to-clean options like laminate and vinyl flooring, ideal for busy households. Laminate floors offer great scratch resistance, while vinyl provides waterproof features and resilience against daily wear and tear. Both are excellent choices for areas frequently used by pets and kids, combining practicality with style.

What’s the difference between stick-down LVT and Rigid SPC?
Stick-down Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a flexible, water-resistant flooring option that requires adhesive for installation. It replicates the look of wood and stone and is ideal for areas where precision installation is needed, such as kitchens and bathrooms. It’s a great choice for those who want a secure, permanent fit that withstands daily wear.
Rigid Luxury Vinyl (SPC) is a type of LVT but with a rigid core made from stone polymer composite. SPC is more resistant to dents and warping and comes with a built-in 1mm underlay for added comfort and sound insulation. It’s perfect for high-traffic or moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Unlike stick-down LVT, SPC uses a click-lock system, making it easier to install and even more durable under changing conditions.
Both options are water-resistant and offer stylish wood and stone finishes, but SPC provides enhanced strength and resilience for more demanding spaces.
