Key questions to consider when buying a new floor – including a downloadable checklist.

You’re spoilt for choice. When it comes to renovating a flat or fitting out a new house, sooner or later the question arises: which floor covering should you choose?


Every flooring option has its pros and cons. Factors such as trends, sustainability and functionality also come into play.
Buying new flooring is a decision that requires careful thought, as you’ll literally be living with it for years to come. There are many different options and types of flooring available for your home. To make an informed decision, it’s worth systematically considering several factors. Many aspects influence your choice and, ultimately, personal taste is of course also a key factor.


With our checklist guide, you’ll find the right flooring for your home.

The floor is more than just a surface to walk on.

It contributes to the appearance, thermal and sound insulation, ease of maintenance and value of a property. Before you choose finishes and compare designs, you must first decide on the right type of flooring. To do this, clarify your priorities: how much effort can you invest in the installation and subsequent maintenance? What level of wear and tear can be expected?
To make the right decision, you should ask yourself the following questions:

Checklist: How do I choose the right flooring for my home?

How much time do I have to lay the flooring? 

The time required varies greatly depending on the laying method and how the subfloor has been prepared. Loose-lay flooring is ideal for quick renovations, whilst adhesive-backed flooring is the right choice for damp rooms. 

What does the floor have to withstand on a day-to-day basis? 

Whether it’s subject to heavy use or occasional wear and tear – there’s a suitable wear layer for every room. Be sure to seek personalised advice when choosing your floor covering.


How much time do I want to spend looking after the floor? 

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance floor that stays looking good for years with minimal upkeep, you should avoid delicate woods, natural stone or carpets and instead consider hard-wearing alternatives such as ceramic tiles or vinyl.

Is the flooring suitable for children and pets? 

Flooring should be healthy for the home; it must not pollute the indoor air with emissions and should only contain phthalate-free, organic plasticisers. The elastic properties of vinyl flooring ensure it feels pleasantly warm underfoot.


Do the designs suit my personal interior style? 

The perfect flooring showcases your furniture and fittings, ensuring everything looks harmonious and authentic. Many designs are also suitable for installation on floors, walls and stairs. Design concepts that span multiple rooms, as well as high-contrast combinations, are easy to achieve with designer flooring. 

If you’re looking for a good alternative to parquet and laminate flooring, designer flooring is the perfect choice.

The advantages of vinyl design flooring:

Durable and robust

In short: vinyl is the right choice if you want to live carefree on your floor – neither boisterous children nor pets can do any damage to the flooring. In the worst-case scenario, individual planks can be replaced very easily. What’s more, design flooring is waterproof – which sets it apart from many other types of flooring. And its elasticity has its advantages too: you can feel the difference not only when walking on it, but also because if things fall onto the floor, they won’t leave unsightly dents.

Care

A design floor can simply be vacuumed or swept. The floor should be wiped with a damp cloth from time to time. We recommend using a neutral cleaner, which should be diluted exactly as stated on the packaging. Read more HERE!

Design flooring for every room

Because designer flooring is water-resistant, it can be laid throughout the home – including the kitchen and bathroom. This creates a particularly striking effect in small flats: the rooms appear significantly larger. What’s more, having the same flooring throughout avoids dangerous trip hazards. For all wellness enthusiasts, ideas from exclusive hotels can also be easily put into practice: a bath in the bedroom is no problem at all! Water can be easily mopped up, no matter which room it’s in. Read more HERE!

Safe and comfortable living

Safety also plays a role in everyday life – a slip-resistant floor is a safe choice. Furthermore, vinyl is pleasantly warm to the touch, elastic and therefore comfortable to walk and stand on. What’s more, footsteps on it don’t produce any clacking noises that travel through walls and ceilings.
