Kitchen and bathroom flooring.

hace 7 años

We have cushion flooring in both the bathroom and kitchen but has become damaged with knives and crockery being dropped on it etc. My husband won't put tiles down and I don't want carpet as we are quite clumsy with spillages!
Any suggestions please?

I have recently refurbished a kitchen and I used luxury vinyl tiling. The well known makes are Karndean and Amtico. I can highly recommend LVT. It looks and feels good and it is much tougher than standard vinyl flooring. I used Wickes Luxury Vinyl Flooring and it is currently on special offer :-)

I hope that helps.

Gm everybody, My wife and me are trying to design our new kitchen, and we are a bit concern about its location in the house. This is a DIY project, so we are looking for opinions. As you can see in the picture, we are creating the kitchen room at the left bottom side and keeping a garden at the left upper. Our first idea was to locate the kitchen close to the living door (upper in the picture) but we would like to mantain the garden. Thanks in advance for any kind of help!! Rodri

Fantástico! Me parece importante tener en cuenta, cuando organizas estos sistemas de almacenaje al aire (que se vean ) es que hay que tener después mucho orden, intentar buscar vajillas sencillas, y evitar mucho colorido para que todo sea mas neutro y de sensación de orden.

House in la Olivella, Barcelona.
Q
(0) comentarios
This tradicional 70's house, with great mountain views in Olivella, Barcelona, needed an extension to benefit from the main side terrace on a plot with an important slope. We were asked to develop a full-scale refurbishment of this detached house located in la Olivella, Barcelona. This quiet residential area is surrounded by large groups of mature pine trees that give shelter to the villas below. The house had a challenging interior configuration. The main intervention we proposed has been this glass extension at the ground floor of the house to allow for a larger kitchen and dining space inviting the light to fill its interior spaces. Its roof has become at the same time a terrace for the new larger master bedroom above. #moderninteriors #interiorarchitecture #interiors #moderndesign #interiordesign #architectureinterior #sitges #design #furniture #furnituredesign #architecture #barcelona #vilanovailageltru #castelldefels #olivella #rardoarchitects mas fotos

What do you think about this? - The contrast between wood and Stone

The contrast between wood and Stone Dare to create elegant spaces by combining these elements, by harmonizing wood and stone, in different colors, a balance is achieved, which can give to notice a slightly rustic style, but with a lot of elegance and modernity. There are infinite spaces and surfaces where you can cover with stone. From kitchens, bathrooms and balconies, as well as exteriors of your home providing rustic touches, but connecting you with nature. Definitely these two natural elements achieve the perfect balance.

Wood is a very warm and natural coating, which is durable and easy to maintain. Contrasting the rusticity of wood, natural stone brings colder sensations, with eclectic characteristics and close to minimalism. What do you think about this?

Thanks so much for your prompt answer. I have had a look and it seems to be the answer if I can persuade my husband!

Amtico 100%. We moved house, the old kitchen floor was Amtico and been down 20 odd years and still looked as good as new. We replaced with Amtico as we ripped the kitchen out and wanted everything new - not a bad thing to say about it.

As above LVT flooring is simply the best - Amtico but also Cavalio do the same but are much more affordable - can be purchased from CHD.

Believe it or not, you can also buy modern cork floor that is soft and warm under your feet, and won't cost the earth!

From harvest to installation, cork flooring is possibly the most environmentally sustainable, non-toxic and healthy of all flooring surfaces.

Cork is harvested from the bark of the Quercus suber tree, more commonly referred to as a cork oak tree, which is grown in the Mediterranean region and has a life span up to 250 years. After the first 25 years of growth, the tree is stripped of its bark for the first time using traditional hand labor methods. This process is repeated every nine years with little or no affect on the health of the tree. During each harvest, about 50 percent of the bark is removed.

Unlike traditional wood flooring, the entire tree is not cut down, only the outside is removed. Harvesting does not harm the tree and a new layer of cork bark grows, making it a renewable resource. Ultimately, old age is what kills the trees, not the harvesting process.

Similar to growth of the raw material, manufacturing methods are also geared to protect the environment. To produce cork flooring, virgin cork bark and post-industrial waste cork from the manufacturing of other cork products is ground into small granules. During the manufacturing process, all raw materials are consumed, either for the finished flooring product or as an energy source. Production waste of cork dust and tree trimmings are burned in furnaces that supply heat to bake the cork tiles.

For people with allergies, cork flooring is an ideal surface. It is antimicrobial and less likely to be affected by mold and mildew. It does not absorb dust or pollen, making it easier to rid the home of these potential allergens.

The benefits of cork don’t end there. The bark contains a substance called suberin, a waxy waterproof substance present in the cell walls of cork tissue and a natural insect repellent. Suberin also protects cork from fire and when cork is burned, it does not release any toxic gasses.

And to add to its bounty of riches, the insulating properties of cork flooring contribute to energy efficiency. Experts say that even a cork under-layment will provide significant insulation in the cold months.

Just going to tag onto this conversation, we are currently looking at Amtico but put off by the cost of professional installation, as we like to do everything ourselves to save cost. Does anyone have an experience of fitting the Amtico Click product, and is it as good quality, and does it wear just the same as the other products?
