Living Room Flooring: Comfort Meets Style

Top Recommendation: Engineered Wood

The luxury choice for timeless elegance.

For the living room, nothing beats the authenticity of Engineered Wood. It adds immediate warmth and character that synthetic materials struggle to match. Unlike solid wood, its stable construction handles central heating and temperature changes perfectly, making it a long-term investment that can actually add value to your property.

• Real Wood Texture: A genuine timber top layer provides a unique, natural grain.
• Adds Value: A desirable feature that enhances the resale appeal of your home.
• Underfloor Heating Ready: Compatible with modern heating systems for a cosy feel.
• Long Lifespan: Can be sanded and refinished to remove signs of wear over decades.
• Timeless Appeal: A classic look that never goes out of fashion.

The Family & Pet Friendly Choice: Vinyl Click

Superior scratch resistance for busy homes.

If your lounge is a high-traffic zone with young children or pets, Vinyl Click is the smartest choice. Our Vinyl ranges (available in WPC for warmth or SPC for rigidity) feature a commercial-grade wear layer. This technology offers superior scratch resistance compared to laminate, making it the best defense against pet claws, toys, and moving furniture.

• Best for Pets: High scratch resistance and easy-to-clean surface for muddy paws.
• 100% Waterproof: Perfect for indoor-outdoor living if your lounge opens to the garden.
• Quiet Acoustics: Softer material reduces the sound of footsteps and TV volume echoing.
• Warm Underfoot: Excellent heat retention makes it comfortable for relaxing.
• Durable Wear Layer: Protects against scuffs and daily wear better than other hard floors.

The Value Choice: Laminate

Cost-effective style.

Modern laminates offer incredibly realistic wood visuals at a budget-friendly price point. While our Vinyl Click offers the ultimate scratch protection, our Laminate range remains a durable and stylish option for living rooms, featuring fade resistance and easy maintenance.

• Scratch Resistant: Handles everyday family life well.
• Fade Resistant: Won’t discolour in sun-drenched rooms with large windows.
• Easy Maintenance: simple vacuuming and damp mopping keep it pristine.
• Cost-Effective: Achieve the “wood look” at a fraction of the price.
• Stain Resistant: Spilled wine or coffee wipes away without leaving a mark.

Design Styles for Your Lounge

Classic Oak The traditional choice. Golden and honey tones create a warm, cosy atmosphere that suits almost any interior style.

Modern Greys Cool and contemporary. Grey floors provide a neutral canvas that allows your furniture and art to take centre stage.

Statement Herringbone Parquet flooring is having a huge resurgence. A herringbone pattern adds architectural interest and a sense of luxury to the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flooring is best for pets? Vinyl Click is our top recommendation for pets. Its specialized wear layer is more scratch-resistant than laminate or real wood, providing the best protection against claws. It also offers more grip for paws and is 100% waterproof for any accidents.

Do I need an underlay? Yes. For both Engineered Wood and Laminate, a good quality underlay is essential. It smooths out subfloor imperfections, provides thermal insulation, and significantly reduces noise. All our Vinyl Click ranges come with built-in underlay.
