Available in a design and style to suit almost any room in the house, vinyl flooring provides an attractive, contemporary flooring solution that’s a popular option. Fresh innovation and technology within the sector has resulted in high-grade products which offer exceptional quality and value. Whether you’re considering vinyl flooring for the first time or have already benefited from an installation in your property and are looking to purchase again, take a look at the benefits vinyl flooring can bring.

An enormous range of colours, textures and styles

One of the major advantages of vinyl is the incredible selection of colours and designs on offer. From natural-looking vinyl options which give the appearance of timber boards through to stone and tile decors that add an appealing touch to kitchens, utilities and more, vinyl can fit with almost any interior design scheme. Advanced printing and dye techniques result in subtle, multi-faceted patterns that add an air of sophistication to any location.

Very hygienic

Particularly in households where there are pets or allergy sufferers, keeping dust and dirt to a minimum is essential. Unlike some floorings, vinyl doesn’t trap the dirt. In addition, cleaning is straight-forward and easy. In most cases, a simple wipe-over with a damp cloth or mop, using standard cleaning products, is sufficient to keep your vinyl in immaculate condition.

Acoustic and thermal insulation

Forget cold flooring underfoot or echoing rooms: the contemporary vinyl you’ll find in our flooring showrooms has integral thermal and acoustic insulation. This assists in maintaining optimal temperature, as well as ensuring that footfall is muffled.

Hard-wearing flooring at our carpet showroom

Particularly in heavy-traffic areas, flooring that’s capable of withstanding regular use is essential. Vinyl is extremely durable, lasting for years longer than less-durable options. What’s more, it’s resistant to UV deterioration, damage from damp or moisture and problems caused by insects, mould or fungi. This makes it a great option for challenging locations where flooring choices are limited.

Fantastic service. David gave me great advice on which flooring would be most suitable for my business premises. Within the week Steven came to fit the flooring and, as promised, was in and out in a day. Can’t recommend this local Company enough. Anna Smylie ZuZu Giffnock.

We recently purchased engineered oak flooring and carpets from First Floors. The customer service from David and team was exceptional. We had just moved home from overseas and bought a house with no floors so we did not have access to allow First Floors to measure. Theye allowed us to use our own measurements as we wanted the floors laid ASAP once we had the keys. The floor is beautiful and laid very professionally (thanks Steven). The carpets are also lovely and exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would change about the experience would be to have First Floors assess the house in advance. We have fire doors which were a problem the day the carpets were laid. This was not the issue of First Floors and it was resolved quickly. Thanks again David, we would highly recommend First Floors to anyone.

Another Great Job Done!!
Just had our third floor project in seven years completed by First Floors once again.
Great service from David and his showroom team from assisting in the selection of materials through to arranging the installation. Chris and his team worked tidily and efficiently on the hardwood flooring with great attention to detail. Gordon who fitted the stair carpet was very professional in his work and was able to resolve some problematic details to our entire satisfaction.
Would definitely recommend First Floors.
