So your flooring is looking a little less than desirable and it is time to make a decision about what to do with it? That decision will depend on the room you are flooring. If it is only a small area you will find there are much greater inexpensive options available as you can buy last of stocks or end of line products. Bathrooms and kitchens require durable materials due to the traffic and the exposure to moisture.
Amtico floor tiles are a superior quality resin compounded flooring product. These tiles are non-porous, long lasting with exceptional colour fastness which means the tiles retain stunning visual appeal for many years after installation. Let us examine the reasons why floor tiles are a perfectly good option.
For kitchen and bathroom areas popular choices include laminate, vinyl and resin compound tiles. The main differences is that laminate tends to be thicker and give a more realistic wood effect without the cost of real wood.
Vinyl comes in a wood effect too and you might be amazed at the sheer number of colours, patterns and styles you can get. Go for a symetrical pattern such as a chessboard effect or go for completely different and contrasting tiles in rooms such as your kitchen, bathroom, WC or laundry room. Many years ago, vinyl tended to come with no more than one or two colour options, but not today. As with the rest of the world, flooring and the options available have improved in leaps and bounds.
Your first decision relates entirely to your budget. For cost efficient options laminate and vinyl are the two most desirable choices. The cheapest option tends to be laminate tiles although vinyl and other similar resin compound tiles can also come in at reasonable prices and there tends to be a much wider choice in style too.
We would all love to use real marble or real wood on our floors but the cost can make that option an impossibility. Fortunately there are a great many flooring tiles available that give the same appearance and cost significantly less. There is no comparison in quality but the finished results can be impressive to say the least.
There are of course real wood or marble options for the areas of your house, again it all comes down to what it is you are looking for that will suit your home and of course the all important costs involved.
Laminate and vinyl flooring have other benefits in that they are very easy to clean and no polishing required as with real wood. All you need is your mop and bucket.
Vinyl comes in rolls and tiles of various sizes and you need to choose what will suit the overall area that you want to cover. After deciding on the brand, the task of choosing the colour or pattern of the tile will be the hardest part due to the wide range of options that you often have.
A good tip for getting an excellent bargain if you only need flooring for a small area or need to re-floor a small section is to look out for 'clearance' sales at local suppliers. These clearance sales are often because of over-stocking or end of line products. They do not always have the exact amount you want however so be careful if you want to floor a larger area of your house.
Just make sure you do your research, find out what special offers are available especially for the smaller areas such as the bathroom/WC. There are so many great deals to be found if you look for them.

Thinking about your budget really is the best place to start. I found that if I go to the tile store with an open wallet I leave very poor.

I didn’t think that vinyl comes in a wood effect. I used Laminate in my office in my home. Absolutely love it. Easy surface to clean and maintain, even with the high traffic in it.
Very inexpensive way to go using vinyl and laminate.
