    Advice & Inspiration     Top tips for buying vinyl flooring    

Vinyl flooring is one of the most hardwearing, cost effective and practical flooring options you can buy.

Vinyl is now available in numerous designs, such as tile, mosaic, marble and quirky patterns, making it ideal for the kitchen, utility, bathroom and living room areas of the home.


When buying a new vinyl flooring it is helpful to consider the following:

Your decorating plans/colour scheme: Not only is vinyl flooring available in beautiful tile and wooden floor effect, it is increasingly available in a wide range of contemporary designs.

Your sizes: It is helpful to do a rough plan of the area you need covered (link to measuring guide). Your sizes will provide a guide for the sales staff and help you to get an ideas of costings. But we would recommend having our experts double check your sizes, so as you don’t order too much or too little. You can Book our Free Measuring service here.


Roll width: Vinyl flooring is usually available in 2m, 3m and 4m wide rolls to help reduce the wastage and keep costs down. Be sure to double check the widest point of your room so you know what roll width is the best option for you.

Your Budget: What is your budget? Don’t forget fitting costs. Always pick the best vinyl that you can afford. At Martin Phillips you can find Vinyl Flooring with prices starting from £8.36m2

Room :Vinyl flooring is ideally suited for your high traffic areas, homes/rooms with pets and it can also be used in the kitchen or bathroom where there will be splashes and spills. It is also a more affordable solution for anyone looking to give a wood effect touch to a bedroom. You can choose from Light Wood Effect, Medium Wood Effect or Dark Wood Effect for more dramatic feeling.



Thickness: Our vinyl flooring is available in a range of thicknesses all the way up to our luxurious 4.5mm selection. Thicker vinyl will feel softer underfoot and provides better noise insulation.

Underlays: The biggest advantage of Vinyl Flooring is that it does not require an underlay as long as it is laid on a smooth and level floor, meaning you will save a few extra money.
