Easy Living
Timber Looks Without the Hassle
Vinyl planks are designed to give you the beauty of timber without the challenges that come with it. They're water-resistant, scratch-resistant, and soft underfoot, making them ideal for areas like kitchens, hallways, and open-plan living spaces. Whether you're going for coastal, classic, or contemporary, there's a finish to suit every interior style, from light oak tones to deep charcoal hues. Vinyl planks are not only much easier to clean and maintain than real timber, but they also won't swell or warp in humid conditions.
Installation is quick and versatile, with options for glue-down or click-lock systems depending on your needs. Vinyl planks are also a great option for renovations, as they can often be laid over existing floors with minimal prep. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, cost-effective way to achieve the look of natural wood throughout your home or office, vinyl planks deliver both performance and style in one smart package.
FAQ
All You Need To Know
Are vinyl planks better than laminate?
Vinyl planks and laminate flooring are both popular choices, but they serve slightly different needs. Vinyl planks are typically 100% waterproof, making them ideal for areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Laminate, on the other hand, is water-resistant but not waterproof, which means it may swell or warp if exposed to standing water.
In terms of durability, both can handle moderate foot traffic, but vinyl has a slight edge for households with pets or kids, thanks to its softer, more resilient surface. Laminate may offer a slightly more realistic timber appearance due to its high-resolution photographic layer, but many modern vinyl planks closely mimic wood textures. Overall, vinyl is generally the more versatile, moisture-friendly option.
Can vinyl plank flooring be used in bathrooms?
Yes, vinyl plank flooring is one of the best options for bathrooms, thanks to its waterproof construction and slip-resistant surface. Unlike timber or laminate, vinyl planks won’t swell or warp when exposed to humidity or moisture. Many modern vinyl products are designed with a sealed surface and click-lock system that keeps water from seeping through the joins.
Just be sure the subfloor is properly prepared and level before installation, and that planks are installed tightly with appropriate edge sealing. While vinyl planks are suitable for bathroom floors, they are not recommended inside the actual shower area.
Do vinyl planks need underlay?
Whether you need to underlay for vinyl planks depends on the type of planks you choose and the condition of your subfloor. Many luxury vinyl planks (LVP) and hybrid-style vinyl flooring come with a built-in underlay, offering sound insulation and cushioning. However, if your planks don’t include this feature or your subfloor is uneven, adding a thin, appropriate underlay can improve comfort, reduce noise, and extend the lifespan of the flooring.
For concrete or tiled subfloors, underlay may also help smooth out minor imperfections. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations, especially for warranty compliance.
