Vinyl flooring is fast becoming a material of choice for people looking to add character to their home without paying over the odds.
Its popularity with families especially is increasing, as many look to achieve the look of classic flooring without breaking their budget.
Vinyl floors have come a long way from the tacky styles of the 1950s - it's almost indistinguishable now from hardwood.
Of course, real wood flooring has its advantages, too. But vinyl holds its own against them - with its relative inexpense a possible clincher.
For kitchens and bathrooms, you can truly get the style you want, with various finishes providing a huge choice of colour and atmosphere.
Vinyl is a great choice if you've found your previous floor has suffered damage, as it is so resistant to wear and tear - a classic symptom of family life.
It's also easy to lay and install yourself, especially in tiles. If a square does get damaged, you can simply remove it and replace it.
