Vinyl Flooring Exeter

• Waterproof on the surface, with no grout and very few joins
• Cushioned ranges are softer and warmer than tile, and kinder if something gets dropped
• Usually costs less than LVT, laminate or wood
• Quick to fit, so most rooms are done in a day
• Easy to keep clean with a sweep and a mop

Tarkett makes sheet vinyl in a wide range of wood, stone, tile and patterned designs, from classic black and white to soft natural oak. Its ranges come in different weights, from cushioned vinyl for bedrooms and bathrooms to tougher grades for busy kitchens and hallways. We'll bring a selection to your home so you can see them in place.

Vinyl is a natural fit for kitchens, bathrooms, cloakrooms, utility rooms and boot rooms, anywhere water, mud or spills are part of daily life. It's also popular in hallways and landings, and with landlords who want a floor that's easy to clean between tenancies. For a room that needs a non-slip surface, such as a wet room or a care setting, see our wet room flooring and safety flooring pages.

A good vinyl floor depends on the floor beneath it. Sheet vinyl follows the shape of the subfloor, so any lumps, nail heads or board edges will show through in time. On timber floorboards we usually lay a plywood base first. On concrete we level any dips with F. Ball or Ardex compounds. Then the vinyl is cut to the room, fitted tight to the edges and fixed down where the room needs it, with neat thresholds at every doorway.

Both are waterproof. Sheet vinyl is the quicker, more affordable option and gives you a seamless floor. LVT flooring is laid as individual planks or tiles, so it looks more like real wood or stone and is more hard-wearing, but it costs more and takes longer to fit. We'll show you both on the home visit if you're not sure.

We're based at Shillingford Abbot, just outside Exeter, and fit vinyl across the city, including Heavitree, Wonford and Alphington, and out to Topsham, Exmouth, Cranbrook, Dawlish, Teignmouth, Newton Abbot and Torquay.
