Vinyl floors are easy to wipe clean, warm underfoot and can reduce noise - especially useful in children's rooms. There's a huge range of vinyl floor patterns available on rolls and tiles. You can opt for an authentic wood block pattern, marble effect, bright colours or soft pastels. Lino is a solid sheet flooring similar to vinyl but much more difficult to lay so call in a professional to lay this type of floor covering. Thinner sheet and tile flooring is harder on the feet but is long-lasting. Cushioned vinyl flooring is thicker and more comfortable but can be damaged by heavy wear.
