Whatever the shape and size of your bathroom (and trust us, we’ve seen a few!) vinyl flooring is usually the most versatile and practical choice. Furthermore, it’s also one of the most affordable options around. Here are some of the reasons we like vinyl.
Water-resistant
Vinyl is naturally resistant to water and moisture, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms where spills and splashes are common. This resistance helps prevent water from seeping through the floor and causing damage to the subfloor or underlying structure.
Easy to clean
Vinyl floors are easy to maintain and keep clean. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional mopping with a damp mop and mild detergent are usually sufficient. Vinyl’s smooth surface also makes it resistant to dirt and grime buildup.

Landlords face some unique challenges when it comes to selecting the right flooring. Tenants can be hard on floors, which makes it essential for them to choose materials that are both durable and aesthetically appealing.
With over 30 years experience working in flooring, here’s our guide for landlords on how to choose the best carpet & flooring for rental properties.
Prioritise Durability
One of the first things landlords need to consider when selecting flooring for their rental property is durability. Rental properties often experience heavy foot traffic and may be subjected to various types of wear and tear. While budget is usually a priority as well, to ensure longevity and value for money we suggest opting for hard-wearing materials such as laminate, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), or synthetic carpet, all options that can withstand the demands of rental living and require minimal maintenance.

When it comes to flooring for commercial premises, it’s crucial to strike a balance between durability, aesthetics and maintenance. Which is why LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) is increasingly becoming a top choice for businesses such as hotels, pubs, hospitality venues and schools. While it might be slightly pricier than traditional vinyl flooring, the benefits are worth every penny. Here is why we believe LVT could be the best choice for your venue:
Pub Flooring: Style and Durability
