Published: October 14, 2022

Vinyl flooring has changed in the last few years with new technology and it is fast becoming a popular option for homes where practicality, durability and functionality are the highest priority. It’s changed in appearance too, with many vinyl timber-look styles now being incredibly realistic. It’s an affordable flooring option and now one that is beautiful as well! Here are some of our favourite vinyl flooring styles and where they can be installed.

FastFIT

The vinyl range within FastFIT is broad and there are timber styles to suit any colour scheme or home style. Dark and light, character-filled and more subtle designs are all included in this range of practical vinyl flooring. FastFIT provides excellent value for money and is incredibly resilient in areas that can really endure heavy usage such as family rooms, play spaces and meal areas.
