Furniture linoleum is thinner (around 2 mm), flexible, and designed for desks, cabinets, and other surfaces. Flooring linoleum is thicker (2.5–4 mm), denser, and built for high-traffic areas with a stronger backing and tougher wear layer.

We recommend high-quality water-based linoleum adhesives like Forbo L910 or F-ball Styccobond F54. Ensure the timber is clean, smooth, dry, and free from dust or grease before application.

Measure the longest length and width of the room, including alcoves and recesses. Add at least 10 cm to each measurement for trimming. For patterned carpets, allow extra for pattern matching. For stairs, use 0.5 m² per straight step and 1.25 m² per winding step.

Yes — many flooring types can be installed over underfloor heating (UFH), but the system type, subfloor preparation, and floor covering choice are crucial for performance and longevity.

1. Types of UFH:

• Water-fed (hydronic): Pipes encased in screed, ideal for large spaces.
• Electric: Heating mats or cables, great for retrofits, require self-levelling compound.

2. Suitable flooring:

• Marmoleum/Linoleum — fully bonded, gradual heat changes.
• Engineered wood — ≤ 18 mm for optimal heat transfer.
• LVT — excellent heat conductor.
• Tiles — most efficient conductor.
• Carpet — combined tog ≤ 2.5.

Yes — underlay improves comfort, insulation, soundproofing, and extends carpet life. Replace old underlay when fitting a new carpet.

Yes, if the existing floor is level, stable, dry, and clean. However, removing it allows for better subfloor preparation and often leads to longer-lasting results.

• Carpet: Vacuum regularly, clean spills immediately, and deep clean every 12–18 months.
• Vinyl/Linoleum: Sweep/vacuum, mop with neutral cleaner.
• Wood: Use wood floor cleaner, avoid excess water.

Vinyl is synthetic, fully water-resistant, and available in many designs. Marmoleum is natural, eco-friendly, antibacterial, and highly durable.

• Carpet: Immediately.
• Glue-down floors: Wait 24 hours.
• Floating floors: Immediately.

Yes — warranty terms vary by flooring type and manufacturer. We provide full details upon purchase.

Winding stairs vary in size and shape. A template ensures a perfect fit, avoiding gaps or misalignment. Watch our guide: How to Template a Winding Stair Runner.

No — all LVT is made from similar materials. Amtico and Karndean stand out for design range and embossing quality.

Usually 1–2 weeks depending on product availability and scheduling.

No — manufacturers deliver quickly and offer thousands of colours and designs, making stocking impractical.

Wood expands/contracts with temperature and humidity changes. An expansion gap (10–15 mm) prevents buckling or warping.

Fully bonded installations generally need minimal gaps. Floating click systems still require a small gap.

Yes — a 10–12 mm perimeter gap is essential. Watch: Expansion Gaps for Laminate Flooring.

Use scotia/beading, or remove and replace skirting boards for a cleaner finish.

Remove skirting, fit floor, refit or replace skirting, allow for making good/painting, ideally with a decorator before reinstallation.

A stitched yarn edge that prevents fraying and gives a neat finish.

A fabric binding sewn around the edge for decoration. Watch: Taped Edges for Rugs & Runners.

Yes, depending on the carpet type. Sisal is challenging. Watch: How to Join a Carpet.
