Got questions about vinyl flooring? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re wondering how long it lasts, where it works best, or how to keep it looking brand new, we’ve got the answers. Vinyl’s one of the most practical and budget-friendly flooring options out there – and at Frank’s, we know our stuff.
Good viny flooring can last 10 to 20 years, easy but sometimes longer if you treat it right. It’s tough stuff, built to handle busy homes and heavy feet.
Don’t drag heavy furniture across it (use felt pads), skip harsh cleaners (no bleach or strong chemicals), and steer clear of soaking it with water. Treat it well and it’ll stay looking great for years.
Absolutely, it loves a quick mop! Just keep it damp rather than dripping, and use a gentle cleaner. No steam mops though because they can cause more harm than good.
Generally, yes. Vinyl is often the more budget-friendly option, especially sheet vinyl. It’s a great choice if you want style without splashing the cash.
It all depends on what you need. Sheet vinyl is great for large areas and smaller budgets. Vinyl tiles and planks give you a more realistic look and are easier to replace if damaged. We’ve got loads, so come into store and have a browse!
Yes, 100%. It’s soft underfoot, slip-resistant, and really easy to keep clean – perfect for mucky pets and crawling tots.
LVT is a bit tougher and more realistic-looking, but vinyl is more affordable and quicker to fit. Both are fantastic choices, it just depends on your budget and what look you’re going for.
Not usually. Vinyl flooring often goes straight down onto a smooth, level subfloor. If it’s a bit bumpy, we might recommend a bit of prep or a special underlay but we’ll help you get that part right.
Any time is good, but spring and autumn are particularly spot-on because it’s not too hot and not too cold. Vinyl likes a steady temperature when it’s going down.
Not long at all! Most rooms can be done in a few hours, depending on the size and preparation needed. It’s actually one of the quickest types of flooring to fit.
Yes, no problem. Just be careful when moving it in, and use floor protectors to spread the weight and avoid dents.
Sheet vinyl can be a bit fiddly, especially cutting around corners. But vinyl tiles or planks are more DIY-friendly. If in doubt, give us a shout!
The biggest one is laying it on an uneven floor. Also, not letting the vinyl acclimatise to the room, cutting it wrong, or using the wrong adhesive. That’s why it pays to get the pros in.
No, it’s not ideal. You’ll want a smooth surface underneath, usually hardboard or ply over the boards, to stop any bumps showing through.
You’ll spot every lump and bump and it can wear down quicker. It’s always best to get the surface nice and smooth first. We can help with the preparation so it’s done right!
