Three Reasons to Choose Gerflor

10 April 2014





















Gerflor flooring is a popular both in the home and for commercial buildings. It’s one of the most well-known brands in the realms of vinyl flooring and for good reason. Not only is Gerflor flooring affordable, but it has the appearance and durability of a much more expensive product.

But there are a whole lot of different vinyl flooring brands and styles out there, so how are you meant to know if it’s the right choice for your rooms?

Exceptional value for money


Vinyl flooring is one of the most well priced options you can find today, and it’s designed so it’s not just a cheap option which looks and feels low cost and doesn’t last. In fact, whilst vinyl is cheap, it looks and feels much more expensive because the manufacturing processes have come such a long way from when it first entered the market.

When you invest in Gerflor flooring (and it is an investment), you can be sure that it will last for years to come. It is more durable than other forms of vinyl, and even has a protective coating over the patterned elements to keep your design looking pristine. It means that whilst it’s still a great value option, Gerflor is one of the more expensive types of vinyl flooring.

It’s really simple to install

Laying a carpet isn’t easy. If you forget to leave room for wood expansion then your carefully fitted wooden floor boards will swell and buckle. Vinyl flooring just works. It’s such a simple process that many users choose to fit the floors themselves rather than getting in a professional.

The flooring comes in a vast range of designs and styles, and these styles will be in the form of sheet, tiles, or planks of vinyl. Whether you want a wooden look, or something which emulates stone you’ll be able to find the design you’re after easily – and at a fraction of the cost of the real deal.

If you want to lay your brand new floor yourself (and it takes less than an hour, so it would be silly not to), pick either tiles or planks which have adhesive pre-applied. All you’ll need to do is to cut to fit, peel off the backing and stick down. Simple!

If any of the tiles do happen to get damaged, they’re quite easy to remove and replace by yourself, extending the lifespan of your new floor even further than you might expect.

The hygienic option

In rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms which have to deal with a lot of moisture as well as a lot of foot fall, hygiene can be a bit of a concern. You want to choose a flooring option which is not only durable and non-slip, but also really easy to clean as well as being water resistant. If you choose the wrong type you could end up with mould or warped floors. While wood absorbs water, meaning that any excess which isn’t mopped up can cause rot, Gerflor flooring is water resistant, so you don’t need to be quite so careful. Instead, a quick run over with a mop to clean it generally, and a cloth for any spot spills will be ideal. You’ll save a lot of time, and you don’t need to worry about damaging the vinyl itself.

With so many different styles available, there really is vinyl flooring to suit everyone. It’s available for use in the home as well as in more commercial contexts, which highlights just how high quality a product it really is.
