Name: Solid Wood Flooring
Warranty: 20-60 years
About me:
I'll say it up front: I'm looking for life-long commitment. I can be a little sensitive, and don't like getting messy, but if treated with respect I'll stay with you forever and ever.
Loves: Watching TV in the evenings.
Name: Engineered Flooring

About me:
I'm steady and reliable. People look at me and don't think I'm anything special but there's a lot going on under the surface that you just can't see. I'm pretty laid back, and happy to go with the flow.
Loves: A bit of DIY!
Name: Laminate Flooring
Warranty: 10+ years
About me:
I don't believe you need to spend a fortune on a floor to prove you love them. I'm down-to-earth, and love the sound of kids and pets playing. I believe life should be enjoyed with good company.
Loves: Playing with the kids
Name: Parquet Flooring
Warranty: 15-50 years
About me:
I don't want to come across arrogant, but I'm quite the trophy. I'm always doing my best to stand out - but don't mistake that for promiscuity. Once I'm settled, I'm settled, and I'm in it for the long run.
Loves: Entertaining guests.
Name: Vinyl Flooring
Warranty: 10-25 years
About me:
I'm bold, I'm different and I like to try out different styles. I'm quite outdoorsy and love braving the elements - the heat, the cold, the wet - it's like water off a duck's back for me!
Loves: Getting messy in the kitchen.
Name: Carpet
Warranty: None
About me:
I believe we should all do what we can to protect the environment. I have a gentle temperament, and tend to stay away from boisterous activities. I'm terrible in the kitchen, but pretty good in the bedroom...
Loves: Lazy mornings in bed.
Key:
Good to Go!
Not Recommended.
Mop up spills quickly, or use one of our Quickstep waterproof laminates which offers a fully waterproof laminate floor.
Lacquered floors offer more protection than oiled floors, but all spills should be dried as quickly as possible.
Only Coir and Sisal should be used on stairs, whereas Jute and Seagrass should be avoided.
