The concrete look
Concrete flooring is a hugely popular choice for both modern and period properties, creating a contemporary interior theme, or providing a neutral and flexible floorspace that can adapt to other styles. Whether it’s for an industrial open plan living space, or a stylish and practical bathroom floor, concrete flooring is versatile and hardwearing, to suit any home. It does come with its challenges, however. Expensive to lay, it requires expert installation and maintenance. It can feel cold underfoot and there is the risk of cracks or corrosion that could ruin the sleek, polished look. It’s also very difficult to remove.
Stone effect vinyl
This is why Moduleo stone effect or tile effect vinyl is the ideal choice if you’re looking for that high-end, industrial finish - without the hassle and high cost. A Moduleo luxury vinyl floor provides a very similar stone effect surface: you get the tough and urban style of concrete, with a much softer, warmer feeling.
Easy to install
One of the benefits of this option is the ease of installation: no need to hire a team of expensive contractors, as vinyl can be laid by the homeowner, looking sleek and professional when complete. It’s also much easier to remove if you’re looking for a change in style or redecorating to sell.
Warmth
Unless you pay for underfloor heating, real concrete floors could feel hard and cold, and the acoustics may feel sharper and sound louder. In contrast, stone effect or tile effect vinyl flooring from Moduleo will feel soft and warm underfoot, absorbing noise and dampening sound to a minimum - providing that sought-after industrial style, combined with the welcoming warmth you would expect.
Stone effect vinyl works in every room
Providing a truly neutral base, stone or tile effect vinyl can work in any room and with any colour scheme. Check out the range of colours and tones this flooring can provide here.
Brilliant bathrooms
The warm and wet atmospheres of bathrooms require durable floor surfaces that look good and are easy to clean. Concrete can provide this - however that cold feeling underfoot is not ideal after a hot bath, plus because of its absorbency, even water can cause stains and marks. A Moduleo vinyl floor provides that sleek, wipeable base that still feels warm and soft underfoot - plus it’s slip-resistant. Perfect for safe bathing!
Cool kitchens
A kitchen needs to be durable as well as looking good. As kitchens expand from cooking areas to open plan dining and living rooms, a neutral modern floor can work really well, allowing the space to be zoned while still providing a natural flow. With the highest risk of spills, a kitchen needs flooring that can be wiped clean quickly and vinyl provides that easy-to-maintain surface that can still provide a beautiful floorspace for your larger room.
Lovely living spaces
Our living rooms should be our sanctuaries: somewhere to feel calm and comfortable; spaces in which we can truly relax. A stylish and sleek stone effect or tile effect floor can provide the ideal starting point for that. Vinyl is easy to maintain and can be easily dressed with more tactile touches: rugs, throws and cushions provide the ambience of a lounge, without necessitating a full carpet - combining the modern look with a cosy atmosphere.
There’s no denying it: concrete floors look brilliant when installed properly and dressed well. However, the cost and practicalities are understandably discouraging for many of us.
With a Moduleo stone effect vinyl floor you can certainly get the look of expensive concrete - but you get it with a softer feel, and at a lower price. That’s surely ideal for any home.
